Ken and Barbie vampires for Christmas
This winter, Christmas may not be quite as traditional for some due to the fact that their number one Christmas toy may be a bit spookier in nature.
In fact, for those who love the Twilight saga, at the top of your Christmas toy list may be a set of Mattel Barbie dolls that are downright blood curdling, given the fact they are replicas of the two teenage vampires featured in the Twilight saga.
Mattel will soon be introducing two new Barbie and Ken dolls that will be fashioned after the stars of Twilight, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and named appropriately after the characters they embody on the screen of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
Mattel has been designing Barbie dolls after trends and silver screen heroes and heroines since 1959, so they obviously knew what they were doing when they announced that the two latest dolls will be available just before the latest in the saga “New Moon” is set to open in theatres on November 20th.
Also convenient is the fact that this is about the time that the official shopping countdown to Christmas begins, which pretty much guarantees the two dolls will make it to the top of many Christmas wish lists for young children and their parents who have the task of making the wish lists come to life.
