Edward is a solid white plastic Ken type doll with sticky, spiky brown red hair and glitter spray over his head and chest. Edward and Bella arrive in two separate thin plastic boxes with Olympic National Park rain forest cardboard style backgrounds. Each doll also comes complete with a doll stand and unnumbered certificate from Mattel about the doll embedded into the packaging. If you don't want to play with them be aware that the packaging is a fragile thin plastic and may arrive cracked or broken as one of my Edward dolls packages did from a target location. Since I was planning to open a set any way I was fine with it as the second set of dolls arrived in peanuts from the another retailer. Edward and Bella are Pink label Barbie products so they are for collectors and kids but the packaging isn't durable enough to last for too many years of moving around from place to place unless you get a durable case to keep them in for the long term.

Edwards head can be squished, its a very soft plastic not hard. His hair is typical Ken and Barbie quality and is cut like Edwards in the Twilight films but a little long behind the neck. His shirt is striped not solid blue and is sewn together at a button point on the front so it stays in a specific form but the thread can be carefully cut for a child's everyday play. His hands and body are a harder white plastic typical of Mattel Barbie dolls. Overall the doll is a typical Ken and Barbie style Mattel doll made to look like similar to Edward Cullen to be enjoyed by anyone.

When I tried to order Edward and Bella Barbie from Amazon placing my order on October 6th I was forced to cancel my order a few days ago after getting yet another notice from Amazon that the release date would be into December for these dolls. The date went from approximately Nov. 7 to December sometime. I decided it was insane and rude of Amazon to keep blowing my order off like that and went to two other well known sites to find my 'target' dolls and find out how fast I could get them at the same 25.00 price. I received the 'BARBIE Twilight Edward COLLECTOR' doll by Mattel in 2-3 days from Barbie. My 'target' order came on November 4th, my Mattel order on Thursday, November 5th verses 2 months of waiting on an order from Amazon. I think this is a really sad thing because I have counted on Amazon to be at the forefront for items in the past including Twilight Saga items and they really dropped the ball on a popular item this time. If you don't mind an unknown date of delivery then by all means please give Amazon the business otherwise to get it by the New Moon release or even as a Christmas gift on time go direct to the Barbie Edward Twilight Doll manufacturer (collector site shop hint hint) this week and you'll have it at the same low price plus sadly shipping of course.

If you are looking for a better collectors style doll item or a more quality Edward as a true collectors item at a collectors price I'd go with a 17 inch tall Tonner Edward and Bella available direct from Amazon or Tonner. There are 2 versions of Tonner Bella and Edward, Amazon has an exclusive set too. If however you just want a fun souvenir for yourself or young kids at a cheap price Barbie Twilight Edward is your doll.

I purchased both the Edward and Bella Barbie dolls because I am a lover of the twilight saga books by Stephenie Meyer. The Edward Barbie has very stiff, strange-looking hair, but it's kind of what I expected. He does sparkle, but doesn't resemble Robert Pattinson/Edward beyond that. It's still a great collectable item for any twilight fan.

Well moulded pearlescent skin even. Very good likeness. Pale but not goth or clown white. Pretty details on clothes, not shoddy at all. Interesting packaging even. Great cost effective deal for your Twilight fan. Made by our fave Mattel so Ken better watch his back!

Barbie Edward sparkles, but his hair is awful and he doesn't look like Edward. I suppose they used an old Ken and put sparkles and Edward's clothes on him.

I got this for my self on sale. It is a very nice collectable and if you turn the doll you can see that his face shimers with sparkles. I will probably get bella but when it is on sale.

The Edward doll is very nice looking but it is hilarious that he is sparkly. I think he looks more like how I imagined Edward in the book than Robert Pattinson, in my opinion. I was fortunate to get one with good hair as some I've seen have really bad hair. I mean that some have hair that is standing up straight or lying funny. I know his hair is supposed to be a little unruly but I'd like my doll to look nice. I'm a Barbie Collector and Twilight fan so this was a great purchase. I take it very seriously. Back to the doll. His clothes are nice and I think he's perfect for an older girl but little girls can be rough on dolls and I personally wouldn't want to spent $25 on a doll for a kid to destroy.

The Bella Swan "Barbie" is much as I expected. She even has a face resembling most Barbies so no effort was made to have her resembles Kristen Stewart. One nice feature is her bendable knees, something the originals Barbies didn't have. The Edward Cullen doll bares no resemblance to Robert Pattinson, and has a typical "Kenish" face, although they did make an effort with the hair. But why did the male doll not receive bendable knees as well? It makes it impossible for him to be posed in anything but a standing or legs straight out sitting position. Considering the advance with the female figure, surely it was possible to do the same with the male? The clothes are very well-made, especially Edward's jacket. They are a notch above most doll clothes.

Doll was in great shape in original [acking. my daught er absolutely loved it. it will remain in its origanl box she says. thanks

When I first got the doll the first thing I did was lmbo (laugh my butt off) at his hair! They could have did better with that. However, he sparkles, which I LOVE, and they did a good job with the facial sculpting too. I agree with the other reviews, the packaging probably won't last too long if you move it from place to place. I'm a collector of these dolls, so they are staying in the box. If not packaged right the boxes can easily break. Since i'm not paying 200.00 for a Tonner Doll, this is the way to go.

Edward was on sale and my niece asked for a Ken doll for Christmas so I bought this one. She liked his real hair and immediately ripped off all his clothes and noted "Look mommy, he has muscles" she was impressed with his abs :)
