Somehow I missed this piece of the Twilight insanity--Twilight Barbie Dolls. Thanks to Amazon for sending me a coupon for $5 off the ripped Jacob Barbie (I'll pass), which they describe as being "for the adult collector," or I might have missed this phenomenon altogether. I'm boggled by the whole idea of people collecting Bella Barbie, Edward Barbie, Jasper Barbie, and now ab-packed Jacob Barbie. There's also a Tonner 15" "Turn Me" Bella Swan Doll with her foot in a walking boot.
I want Barbies for my characters, but only with accessories:
-- The DJ Jaco Barbie, with an elven staff and a voice box so she can fling snarky insults at people.
-- The Alexander Warin Barbie, with ripped abs and a full assortment of weaponry, including a grenade that clips to his belt. Doesn't talk, but his facial expressions can change from glowering to really glowering.
-- The Jacob Warin Barbie, with a bum leg covered in scars, a deck of cards, and a real bottle of Three Roses bourbon. Pull his string, and he comes up with an endless barrel of bad nicknames.
-- The Jean Lafitte Barbie, with an assortment of knives and boots, cigars, and a decanter of brandy. Pull his cord, and he'll curse at you in French, Spanish or Italian.
Get to work, Mattel.
So what you really want are snarky drunken, verbally abusive Barbies?
