I’m not exactly sure why I was surprised by this—but! Mattel is yes, indeedy marketing a “Katniss Everdeen” Barbie, which is available for pre-sale now, and will hit the toy shelves in August. From Popwatch:

Designers at Mattel created Katniss’ look by going straight to the source and examining the actual costume that Jennifer Lawrence wore in The Hunger Games. “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.”

Wellllllllllllll?

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

One reply on “<i>Hunger Games</i> Barbie: CONDEMN OR ALLOW?!?”

  1. a realistic looking doll of a young female, dressed appropriately and proportionally sized, depicted looking mighty capable and heroic, sold by the Barbie people? Outrageous! Redo it, but give her much bigger boobs. This is America!
