Just When You Thought Edward Cullen Couldn't Look Creepier
December 12, 2008 at 3:15 pm
We all love Robert Pattinson, even if he hasn't gotten the hang of the whole speaking-in-full-sentences thing yet (give him time! English is a difficult language for someone from Eng--er, never mind). And while his blazing topaz eyes and creamy pallor have been featured in many of our nocturnal delights, we can't deny that Team Edward's just a little... scary-looking. Sort of like a photoshopped Ted Bundy. Regardless, companies are milking Twilight for all it's worth ($150 million so far) and releasing a line of, yes, you guessed it--Twilight dolls! These babies won't be released until next spring, but can't you picture it? You and your seven-year-old cousin can re-enact Barbie and Ken Go on a Date all over again!
Except this time Ken wears better clothes and has given up on spray tanning. And unlike Barbie, these dolls are actually quite accurate; Edward's hair sticks straight up and Bella channels Kristen Stewart's utter vapidness. In fact, I would venture to say the doll has more charisma, too.
Too bad these won't be out for Christmas -- I'll have to ask for a Bratz doll instead.
