First Look at Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen Barbie Doll By Mattel

Finally a real tough girl Barbie Doll for all the hardcore girlies has arrived. Check out the new photos of the latest Barbie creation from Mattel featuring The Hunger Games lead girl Katniss in her Hunger games outfit. The Hunger Games Katniss Barbie will be available everywhere in August and will be in pre-order status starting today at 12 P.M. ET at BarbieCollector.com and other online retail outlets. Read the comments below from Katniss Barbie and Hunger Games fan designer Bill Greening.

“I chose to dress her in the outfit she wears during the games, since this is where all the non-stop action takes place and is instantly recognizable by fans,” says Greening of the Katniss Barbie. “Of course, she wears her Mockingjay pin proudly on her lapel.”

“Hopefully Hunger Games fans can appreciate the attention to detail,” Greening says.”The doll’s minimalistic style and details — such as her loosely braided hair and makeup-free look — also really embody the heroic character Katniss.”

“I am a huge Hunger Games fan and loved all three books, so it was truly an amazing experience for me to be able to design the Katniss Barbie doll,” Greening says. “I think it really pays tribute to Katniss and The Hunger Games.”
