The Evolution of Twilight Merchandise


With the premiere of the Twilight movie, Eclipse fans will find new ways to demonstrate their Twilight fandom.Many fans will do so buying Twilight merchandise and party favors for personal gifts and to give out at parties.These are the perfect gifts to give any Twilight fan whether they are close friends, relatives, or just people you hang out with who you invite to your release party.The point is to give something near and dear to any die hard Twilight fan's heart and make it something interesting and unique.Twilight merchandise is expanding more and more with each Twilight movie that comes to theaters especially with the summer releases which are becoming regular blockbusters.When it all started it started simply with Twilight themed candy, notebooks, and stationary things that almost every other movie franchise has done.Now major department stores like Nordestroms and Rue 21 are catching Twilight fever selling clothing lines inspired by the series as well as even Bella inspired sheets and bed sets.The bed sets are going well beyond traditional licensed bed gear.The average bed set released for merchandising for a movie with the Twilight logo and images is out there, buy the sheets I'm talking about are actually true replicas of the bed set modeled after the Bella's purple one in the Twilight books.Merchandising now a days is a lot more subtle and definitely more detailed and the fans are starting to take notice.It is now becoming more accurate and sophisticated.Major store chains are not the only ones getting creative with their Twilight merchandise.Fans are also becoming small entrepreneurs online and in other venues and selling their own unique Twilight creations.This is allowing fans to share in the wonder of the Twilight phenomenon and make money from their own amazing artistic talents concerning the Twilight series and franchise.If you want Twilight gear that is truly extraordinary and one of a kind you should definitely start by checking fan made merchandise.A big part of the merchandising wars are images from the movies.While the books have their iconic covers there is not much to work with.There is also the added problem of no character art in the books such as is the case with the Harry Potter books.What made the Twilight movies so huge is that they are first time fans could see an official visualization of their characters.So the actors are now synonymous with their Twilight characters and merchandise with their pictures is selling like hot cakes.Another major area are party gifts or Twilight party favors.These are not often as involved as normal gifts.They are normally simple items branded with either the Twilight logo or shaped or designed in such a way to invoke key themed and ideas from the Twilight saga.A good example are Lion and Lamb lollipops named after the famous quote from the first Twilight book where Edward compares his relationship with Bella like that of a predator and his prey.Using simple items that have strong ties to the Twilight series are a major item that are becoming much in demand at Twilight themed events.
