Twilight Barbies


Starting today, you can buy the Twilight fanatic in your house an Edward Cullen or Bella Swan Barbie doll. The dolls are modeled after Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart -- the actors who play the on-screen lovers -- and cost $25 each.

The release of the dolls coincides with the release of the movie New Moon on Nov. 20.

Walmart and Barbiecollector.com are selling the dolls...

No surprise there.
