I bought NECA's 2009 "Edward & Bella" 2-pack only because this Edward is different (enough) from the single-pack 2008 version. The body is the same, but he has a new head with molded shades, and, on closer inspection, his hands are different. Not sure why this was done, since there are no accessories for him to hold. It's possible, however, that the change enables this Edward to hold Bella's hand. (How sweet!)
The detailing on Bella is extraordinary. She's wearing a ring on her right forefinger, and if you check out her shoes, they're brown and black with white shoelaces. Bella's face and hair are amazing likenesses of Kristen Stewart; however, even though she's wearing a jacket, I think NECA could have pronounced her bust line a little more. Overall, this is a splendid Bella figurine.
The 2-pack also comes with the same Cullen crest as the Edward 1-pack. Finally, NECA got the spelling right on Edward's original surname, "Masen."
The New Moon 1-pack of Edward is quite dashing. The head is all-new, but the hair is solid brown, minus the frosted highlights of the Twilight versions. The purple dress shirt goes nicely with the grayish-black sport coat and slacks, but you've gotta check out the shoes: The brown/almost orange coloring is such a stark contrast to the suit that … well … it works. Grandly, even! This is one handsome figurine and a must-own for all Edward fans. Great job, NECA!
