Happy Hunger Games!
Hunger Games is doing big box office its first day in theaters, and now a Barbie doll is in the works.
Mattel's Barbie Collector is in the process of producing a custom collectible doll inspired by heroine Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence in Lionsgate's big-screen adaptation, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

This isn't the first piece of merchandise being produced for the popular young-adult franchise. Hunger Games-themed nail polish, a workout class and a cookbook are just a few of the related merchandising efforts surrounding the book trilogy and movie.
Barbie Collector produced Twilight-themed dolls inspired by Bella and Edward's wedding that were released in February and sell for about $30.
Hunger Games raked in $19.7 million in receipts for midnight showings alone at the U.S. box office and could earn $150 million in its opening weekend.
What would the headstrong Katniss have to say about this?
