KMart Has New Stuff! Trumps Toys R Us

I was pleasantly surprised to find at the Market East Kmart these dolls:

Moxie Boyz, Jaxson and Owen

But my favorite was the Mattel [Barbie] Twilight Victoria:

I love her face screening and her gorgeous hair. Guess Jacob won't be my only Twilight doll.

Funny ADULT Article About Twilight Edward

I found this article comparing the Mattel Twilight Edward doll to other glittery male fashion dolls. There are photos of past he-babes like Hasbro's Rio, Mattel's 80s Kens, and T.HQ's Vanilla Ice doll.

Here is another funny doll celebrities article. NOTE: the second article also has ADULT humor.

Found at Clifton Heights Kmart - Mattel Twilight, Odd Doll

Earlier today, I entered the Clifton Heights Kmart on Baltimore Pike for the first time. They had Twilight Barbie and Ken available. I also saw an odd doll, a porcelain child doll who looked as if she could almost fit Barbie-scale.

Here are the photos:

Twilight (Yawn) Barbie as Bella




Twilight Ken as Edward



He has an interesting face. Looks as if his nose were smashed and his head elongated. Striking rather than handsome.


Porcelain Drummer Doll



Kmart shoppers, you might want to find this porcelain doll with a gold drum set. She was in the Clearance section for $7.00.

More Links About Mattel Twilight Edward - Darn

I did say that I did NOT like the Twilight movie, didn't I?

I couldn't make up my mind whether I wanted to pop Bella or Edward first. Long, boring pauses with "deep soul-gazing" looks made me long for a fast forward button. The Edward deep-sniffing Bella bit struck me as funny, crazy, and impertinent. Was this a commercial stressing the importance of soap, water, DEODORANT, and the frequent application of the three? Mercifully, I don't recall the dialogue - but I recall shaking my head. A lot. When the "bad vampires" went after Bella, I hoped that they would get her. I howled in disappointment when they didn't.

I did NOT like the movie Twilight.

So now, I am getting my comeuppance for plotting on dolls based on a movie I did NOT like ...

On Toys R Us.ca, Edward is described as having golden eyes and "shimmering" skin. I "translated" that description to "hazel eyes and really pale skin." I'll pretend he has a skin disease. Then I read an article in Orato, an online magazine: Robert Pattinson Gets Own Barbie Doll in which the Edward doll is described as having "semi-transparent skin" and "red-rimmed eyes." So much for my assertion to another collector, that the Twilight doll would look "normal" because "He's by Mattel. They'll want to re-use the head." Ha!

It's like the movie bit [me] back through the Mattel dolls. Sigh.

Mattel to Produce 12" Twilight Jacob in February 2010

I learned this exciting news at Denise Van Patten's Doll Collecting Blog, that

1. the Twilight Edward and Bella dolls will be released this November

and

2. that Mattel will release a Twilight Jacob in February 2010.

Here is the link: Denise's Blog

I think that Jacob is the Native American young man. It will be interesting to see Mattel do a new ethnic figure ... wonder if he will use an existing head mold or a completely new one.

Twilight Ken and Barbie on ToysRUs Canada

Thanks to Nicole/Ebony of Brooklyn Stars Forever blog for this update about the upcoming Twilight Ken and Barbie.

Notice how Ken came first in my title and in this post - he looks like the one to get. The Bella-Barbie though ... depends on my funds at the time I see them and if the outfit really appeals to me.
