There’s Team Edward and Team Jacob. But in the doll making game…
It’s Team William all the way.
Mattel has released a Barbie and Ken version of William and Kate to commemorate their upcoming one-year wedding anniversary.
As you can see, they have given William a full head of hair — something he doesn’t possess in real life — and strengthened his jawline. And although Kate looks a bit like every Barbie I’ve seen, she’s pretty and her gown is spot-on.
No doll marker would risk offending the royal family.
That clearly wasn’t a concern for the Mattel designer selected to create the dolls that recreate the wedding of Bella and Edward in Twilight Breaking Dawn.
I’m guessing he isn’t a fan of the saga. And Edward in particular.
His doll’s face is flat and fat, and his hair looks like an old lady’s wig. I know the white makeup isn’t flatteringly on anyone in the movies, but it eliminates all detail here.
In the words of my friend Tina…
Barf.
Because I was so close to my brother growing up, Barbies were used only as kidnap victims; but of course, they were always saved by GI Joe (yes, not very liberated back then). Well, that Edward doll would have been in a lot of trouble, because once kidnapped, I’m pretty sure GI Joe would have left him to the tormenters.
Funny post!
Our Barbies went camping with my brothers’ GI Joes…and came back pregnant. (We grew up on the farm; what can I say?) Nice to see other girls mistreated their Barbies as well!
Oh, my, you guys were much more imaginative than us! And apparently your dolls had more fun
