Barbie just got a little more dangerous. Mattel, the company that makes the popular fashion doll, is releasing a Barbie based on Katniss Everdeen, the primary character in The Hunger Games. “I chose to dress her in the outfit she wears during the games, [becase] this is where all the non-stop action takes place and is instantly recognizable by fans,” says creator Bill Greening. “Of course, she wears her mockingjay pin proudly on her lapel.” (Entertainment Weekly)
