Barbie has been so many different things over the years, is it any surprise that she also plays in the futuristic, deadly Hunger Games? Mattel, Inc. has released a hugely popular Hunger Games Katniss doll, based on the popular Katniss Everdeen character from the Hunger Games. Technically, Mattel doesn't designate the doll as a Barbie (too controversial?). In any event, the doll has a suggested retail of $29.95, and is sold out on the Barbie Collector site until mid-September. For $29.95, the doll is very nicely dressed and wears a hooded jacket, top, and military-style pants , and comes with a bow, arrows, quiver and mockingjay pin.
