Twilight: New Moon: Today is the start of spooky season. We'll kick it off with vampires...sparkly vampires... The Twilight Saga was huge, right? They nailed it by appealing to the young readers who went gaga over the series and translating them into very successful movies. Bella of course is at the center off all the chaos in the movie as the main character. The first 27 cards in the set are what I would call character card.
The base design is good. It has a haunting feel to it and works for the movie. Here we have Edward, Bella and Aro.
The backs of the non-character cards are simple but I think they look really good while doing a good job of setting up the screen grab from the front of the card.
New Moon took home $711M at the box office in 2009.
The back of the first card I showed off. Another good back in my opinion.
I've read all the books and seen all the movies. They are fine and I found them enjoyable. It is geared towards a younger generation but my daughter was a huge fan so I read the books help me stay up with all the happenings. During the time of the books you might have seen lots of Team Edward or Team Jacob references. Above is Jacob with Bella.
Alice was one of my favorite characters. She could see the future at times and was just good fun character.
Aro is leader of the Volturi who oversees the vampire world. I like his character and his look as well. These cards are fun for what they are and a good way to kick off October.

I think there's an Anna Kendrick card in that set.. :D
ReplyDeleteYes there is. ;)
DeleteI can't remember which packs of Twilight cards I got in a few boxes of repacks, but I was very impressed with them. So much so that if I was still actively collecting I would try to finish the sets I have. This is coming from someone who never watched any of the movies or read the books. I have no inclination to at this point either, but maybe one day I will try to finish building the card sets.
ReplyDeleteThese feel that way for me. I really like the look and wouldn't be opposed to owning the set.
