Twilight Dolls – Team Jacob Barbie Doll Or Team Edward Barbie Doll
If you don’t know what Twilight is (the movie not time of day) then the chances are you don’t have a tween/teenage daughter (or son) or maybe you don’t keep your finger on the cultural pulse. Twilight is the super successful sequence of novels and corresponding movies.Well, the Twilight buzz is bound to go up another few levels in the next couple of months with the release of the Jacob Barbie doll. You might think this is a bit far fetched but let me explain.
Sidebar: Go get the Jacob Twilight Barbie Doll here.
In brief, Twilight centers on the love affair between a school girl, Bella and a handsome but slightly standoffish school boy Edward (he’s actuallya vampire and over 100 hundred years old). In the first novel/film most of the focus is on these two lead characters. Jacob had a small role in the first book/movie. He is Bella’s friend and helps her settle into her new school when she first arrives at Forks.
With the launch of the second movie, Jacob gets much more to do. The second book/movie, entitled New Moon, is more about Jacob. Although the love story between Bella and Edward continues to simmer, we find out much more about Jacob and much of the action revolves around the deepening relationship between Bella and Jacob. The movie was only in theaters at the end of last year so I won’t reveal the storyline but as part of the promotional activities around the movie, fans were asked to choose between Edward and Jacob (a bit like Bella has to do in the movie ?)
You where asked if you were on Team Jacob or Team Edward. Plenty of fans opted to go with Jacob. Besides this ‘commitment’ to the character fans were charmed by the strong performance given by the actor who plays Jacob (Taylor Lautner), which endeared even more fans to the character. Thus ever since the New Moon movie was released, eager fans have been begging for memorabilia in some shape and form.
Tonnes of memorabilia was already in place, twilight dolls included. There were Edward and Bella barbie dolls and Edward, Bella, Jacob and Alice Cullen NECA action figures but no Jacob Barbie doll. Mattel, the creators of Barbie finally revealed that they would be releasing a Jacob barbie doll in early March 2010.
The picture of the Jacob Twilight doll seems to suggest that Mattel have tried to be fairly true to the look of the character from the movie. He looks similar to Taylor Lautner, including the short dark hair, the six pack abs and the distinctive looking face. In respect to the clothing, the doll is regaled in cut off jeans and a pair of sneakers as you maybe recognize in the movie. The doll also has a tell tale tattoo on the shoulder similar to the character in the movie.
For avid fans of the Twilight movies, and Jacob in particular, this is a must have toy or collectible. Many people like to collect Barbie dolls. They hold their value like a good collectible item should do and fans like to surround themselves with items that remind them of their passion. With this in mind I believe the Jacob barbie doll will be immensely popular.
