I'm a guy, so the idea of "Twilight-themed Barbie dolls" has as much appeal as "spam-flavored cigarettes" to a vegetarian non-smoker. But you can't deny the popularity of the moody books and movies based on human leeches and guys who turn into sensitive dogs, so you shouldn't be surprised that the characters are now available in Barbie form.
Too bad they didn't do this with that other fantasy franchise, "Lord of the Rings." I would've loved to see Gollum Ken.
