Mattel releases vampire Barbie
As expected, vampires like dream houses too.
Mattel has begun selling Barbie Dolls inspired by the “Twilight” movie franchise.
The Barbie-dized versions of vampire Edward Cullen and mortal girl Bella Swan (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) sell for about $25 each through Walmart, Walmart.com, Barbie Collector Dealers, Barbie Collector Catalog and www.barbiecollector.com, according to Mattel.
No word on whether or not the Edward doll shimmers in the sunlight or has a thing for human blood.
The next Twilight movie, “New Moon,” will be released Nov. 20.
