‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ does not hit theaters until June 30, but you can’t escape the onslaught of merchandising for the film.

My 12-year-old daughter had to be subdued when she spotted Edward Cullen messenger bags and lunch boxes at the ArcLight Cinemas gift shop in Hollywood over the weekend. Looking online, I also found ‘Eclipse’ throw blankets and Edward Cullen pillows. I even found ‘Eclipse’ first-aid bandages.

But my favorite ‘Eclipse’-related items are these life-size cutouts of Jacob, Bella and Edward at Nordstrom’s ‘Eclipse’ store. The foam-core board cutouts are like a teenage version of a nightlight: Adolescents can sleep soundly while being protected by vampires and werewolves. The cutouts are $33 each and come with optional background scenery (not shown here). Lip venom is $16.
