Move over, Edward and Bella Barbie: Here Comes 'Twilight' JacobBy Allyssa LeeHot on the heels of the Edward and Bella dolls comes the third part of the 'Twilight' love triangle: the Jacob Black Barbie. And judging by this image, the toymakers clearly zeroed in on the werewolf's selling points--Taylor Lautner's finely-chiseled 'New Moon' abs and unthreateningly hot face.
Other than that, the shape-shifter is clad in just cut-off jean shorts and some sneakers, sans socks. Guess a full outfit would probably be restricting to a werewolf (clothes so get in the way of a transformation--not to mention that hard-earned 8-pack).Comment: For a discussion of Jacob's shirtlessness, see

Can't Ed Norton at least lend them some of those greatly expanding purple Hulk pants?
I teach a class on Twilight and writing (based on Stephen King's assertion that "you can learn a lot from bad writing") and we just been discussing the portrayal of the Quileutes (plus the mocked-up lore created by SM) in class. I have to tell you I've found little critique on Quiluetes besides you and I really appreciate your voice. Thank you!
That is to say, "little critique on the portrayal of the Quileutes by Stephenie Meyer"
Sorry!
