It was bound to happen. The obsession with vampire movie Twilight has produced action figure dolls of the main movie characters: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
The dolls are made by Robert Tonner in vinyl/hard plastic with rooted saran hair and hand-painted facial features that resemble the characters in the movie.
The Bella Swan doll comes in at 15" with interchangeable shoes. Edward Cullen comes in at 17". Both dolls come with 14+ points of articulation (neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, hips, knees, and ankles)
The dolls won't be available for sale until Spring 2009.
