New Twilight Merchandise: Prices and Quality Vary Wildly

I watched Twilight when it came out on DVD, and despite that I’m just not the right target audience for anything related to the movie and the books, I must admit that my sister would gladly marry Edward right now. Personally, I’ll pass, despite how beautiful he may in fact be.
Since Twilight is such a hit, there are toys that must be made under the Awful Movie Tie-In Law of ‘76. You’re sort of constricted to Edward, Bella, or a combination of the two, (sometimes I can’t tell them apart). In terms of a movie toy, they aren’t bad. They do look extremely detailed and match their movie counterpart very well. That being said, they’re still pretty dull. And they don’t have knee joints. (Joints are so crucial to action figures as I describe in this GI Joe action figure review). Edward gets sunglasses, but no knee joints. I’m picky, and if an action figure doesn’t have joints at the shoulder, elbow, knee, groin, and neck at the very least, then I’m ticked.
