Tonner Dolls to Launch Jasper Doll

Entertainment Weekly was at the annual Toy Fair in New York City and what did they stumble upon? A Jasper doll by Tonner.

“Toys, toys, toys everywhere! This year’s Toy Fair kicked off yesterday, introducing a gaggle of action figures built around new movie franchises, upcoming videogames, and attractive vampire teenagers. Tons of photos from the event have shown up online, but I’d like to direct your attention to freakishly real-looking toys in particular. The “Jasper” figure (see left) from Twilight perfectly captures Jackson Rathbone’s elfen cheekbones — parents of 9-year-old girls, I present you with the only birthday present your daughter will really want this year.”

Tonner currently has several Bella and Edward models, Alice, Victoria, James, Laurent, and Jacob. Check out the collection on the Tonner website.

Twilight Wins MTV’s Love Triangle Poll

MTV’s Hollywood Crush pitted several YA series against each other in the category of Best Love Triangle. Here’s how MTV described Twilight:

“Edward/Bella/Jacob
“The Twilight Saga” by Stephenie Meyer
Perhaps the most famous (infamous?) YA love triangle of all, Jacob never really stood a chance (even with those abs) against Edward’s sparkling (hee hee!) personality. Bella only had eyes for one vampire and made the ultimate sacrifice to be with him forever. But, of course, Stephenie couldn’t leave Jacob all alone for eternity, so he imprinted on Bella’s daughter. Yep, we’re still scratching our heads too.”

Despite tough competition from series by Cassandra Clare, Suzanne Collins, and others Twilight won.
