Jacob Black may be a werewolf and not a vampire in the Twilight saga but he has just been immortalised in plastic - by toy giant Mattel.

The new Twilight Barbie doll pays tribute to the beloved character Jacob, played by hunky Taylor Lautner in the hit movies.

The doll features Jacob’s strong jawline as well as his sculpted six pack abs along with well worn denim cutoff shorts, ready for action as he prepares to turn from teenage boy to werewolf.

The doll is set to go on sale in February 2010 for a retail price of $24.95 to coincide with the DVD release of the latest Twilight movie New Moon.
