Bella-Barbie looks pretty normal. Edward-Ken would have to be shoved in my closet so I don't get nightmares from it. If I could sleep at all with it in the room.

My mama is a Barbie collector of near-insane proportions. I showed her this and asked her if she was going to get them, and I think she nearly threw her back out from laughing.

WHY ARE ALL THESE EDWARD DOLLS SO FLIPPIN' SCARY?

It's like the world is collectively trying to get the Twihards to just snap out of it, already.

Also, Bella-Barbie looks more like Stephenie Meyer than Kristen Stewart. O_o

The face, dude. Just look at the face. Barbie bodies never resemble anything realistically human.

But that soul-eating smile? Those sly, gloating eyes? Oh, yeah. That's Stephenie.

Jesus. Just when you thought Edward couldn't be MORE FUCKING CREEPY, there Mattel goes! *brrrrr*

No one is asking the important question, DOES EDWARD SPARKLE? Because if he dose, then I am so getting him.

Mind, my cat will probably make him into a chew toy the way she did with my Obama action figure, but it would still be worth it.

My brain, in self-defence, had skimmed right past that line without telling me.

*wibble* Edward is scary and possibly from another planet. A bad planet.

You know how bad this is? I'm not getting one, that's how bad this is.

I think I've become so numb to some flavors of Twilight weirdness that my only reaction to this was "At least it's not a sex doll".

Not out of the box, anyway.

One day there will be a repeat of the "I'm glad I fuck my doll!" wank, only Twilight-themed, and I might cry.

Well, the first doll that was fucked did sparkle. So we were close.

The chick who was glad she fucked her doll, she seemed to sparkle glaze each one of her hideous creations, like this one. And Twilight vampires sparkle, so we were kind of close to a Twilight themed doll fucking wank.

Darn it all! And me without my "Brain has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" icon.

Husband, when I shared this comment with him: "oh god is that a link?"

Me: "No."

Husband, visibly relieved: "Good."

Argh. I want its clothing. I like the top.

Not so much that I'd ever buy it, though. Urgh.

Who better to capture the young star-crossed love of these two characters than Barbie & Ken.

Indeed. Why didn't I see the strong bond between Barbie dolls and Twilight before?

Why is Barbie =/= Bella?


Because Barbie smiles.

Because Barbie has a career (or seven) and went to college.

Because Barbie is not clumsy; Barbie can dance the fucking can-can in stiletto heels, baby.

Because Barbie's waist is too small to accommodate demon-babies; demon-babies can apply elsewhere for gestation.

And last, but not least:

Because Barbie doesn't fucking need Ken. Barbie is a "complete set" with just her pretty wardrobe, thanks.

Don't forget that Barbie broke up with Ken for about two years for some Aussie named Blaine.

Barbie and Ken's love has always been star-crossed - Barbie is a strong, independent career woman, and Ken is gay.

Their love is pure.

Because they have no genitalia.

Their underwear is molded to their perfect plastic bodies.

I'm tempted to buy one for my sister so she can do horrible things to it.

Wait, THIRTY-FIVE BUCKS?! Fuck that noise.

Well, on the plus side, this Edward doll doesn't look constipated, unlike the previous Edward doll that was posted about here.

It's really a glaring oversight on Mattel's part.
