Barbie digs Vampires!
Always thought there was something creepy about Barbie? Well, turns out she may have been long plotting to sink her teeth into your neck.
A few months ago Mattel announced they'd be making a range of Barbie dolls based on the Twilight franchise... and today they've released their first pic of all their hard work. Yes, it's Bella "Barbie" Swan and Edward "Ken" Cullen!
I have to admit I was expecting more vampire-y-ness. It just looks like a c.1978 Barbie and Ken in their hiking outfits... or is that just me?
In any case if you are still all "what the...?" about the situation, Mattel have gone on to do what they do best and over-explain the marrying of the two brands. “Barbie has always been at the forefront of pop culture,” said Lauren Dougherty, a Mattel spokeswoman. “This is a partnership that shows that Barbie is in love with Twilight. It’s fun. It’s fan life. We’ve done Star Trek Barbie. These projects are about unique, high-detail, authentic collectibles.”
O....K....
That's all well and good but let's call a spade a spade: it's also about money.
