Jacob Black Barbie Doll - Mattel
They pointed out a mistake in the design of Jacob's tattoo on the doll: it's upside-down.
The Quileute wolf tattoo worn by the actors in the film faced one way, and the doll's tattoo was 180 degrees off.
So, Mattel is correcting the problem on Jacob Black Barbie dolls and has issued an official statement about how patrons can get a doll with a right-side-up tattoo.
Twilight fans! As you may have heard, Mattel's heartthrob Jacob doll's iconic tribal tattoo is upside down on a portion of the total dolls produced. Mattel apologizes for the mistake in production and is working to rectify the situation. If you purchased a Jacob doll with an upside down tattoo and wish to replace your doll with an accurately represented tattoo, please call Mattel customer service at 1-800-524-8697 for more information or 1-800-491-7514 if you purchased your doll directly from Barbie Collector.
Of course, if you're one of those who got your hands on an upside-down tattoo-ed Jacob Black doll, you might want to at least consider keeping it as is . . . after all, it may very well be a collector's item at some point down the road. Just food for thought.
