Katniss Barbie Doll

One of the questions that our readers have been asking us most lately is about how to get the Katniss Barbie Doll. The bad news is that it is not available until September 1. The good news is that you can pre-order it now from Amazon and lock in your price. In fact, if you order it through Amazon, you will also get free Super Saver shipping.

The Barbie doll is dressed in an outfit worn by Katniss Everdeen as played by Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games movie. The Katniss doll wears a hooded jacket, top, and military-style pants inspired by the costume Katniss wore in the film. Included are bow, arrows, and quiver. Completing her look is the iconic mockingjay pin.

Whether you are a Hunger Games fan or a doll collector, the Katniss Barbie will make a great addition to your collection!

People are already looking for Hunger Games costumes, and although there are not any official ones yet, we have found some ways to create them. The easiest way to style your hair like Katniss is to wear it in a long braid to the side. However, most of us are not lucky enough to have that kind of long hair! If you want to get the Katniss look of the long side braid with bangs that come down into your eyes, we recommend this wig from BuyCostumes.com:

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Wig

We know that technically it is supposed to look like Lara Croft, but you can’t argue that it wouldn’t look like Katniss as well if you messed it up a little bit and threw a bow and arrow over your back. And for $20, it’s a great addition to your costume. Check out the image below from the movie and tell us what you think:

Whether you are putting together a Katniss costume or just trying to get her style, you will love this pair of boots like those that Katniss wore in the movie. The Melissa Tall Lace boots that Katniss wore before entering the arena were produced by the Frye, Co. and retail for around $400. Yikes! The feature lacing up the front but also a zip-up entry. You can get them various places online including Amazon.

If $400 is a little too much for you, we did find some other boots that are pretty similar that would work as well. Here are a few of our favorites:

We just got word that tickets for the midnight showing of the Hunger Games next Thursday at our local theatre are SOLD OUT! If you are hoping to get midnight showing tickets (or even tickets for opening weekend), you definitely need to be buying them now.

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about buying Hunger Games Movie Tickets online, so we put together a quick list of frequently asked questions. These are the best answers that we could find!

• When do Hunger Games tickets go on sale online? Tickets are on sale now at most theatres for showings on Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
• Do I need to buy tickets in advance? If you are planning seeing Hunger Games in the first 24 hours that it opens, you will want to get tickets in advance. Depending upon how many theatres are in your area, they might sell out (some already have).
• Where are the best places to buy the tickets online? Fandango and MovieTickets.com have their sites ready to go. You can search by zip code and will be able to start buying tickets there as soon as they go on sale for your theatre. Keep in mind that not all theatres participate in online ticketing. If you do not see your theatre listed there as of Wednesday, try searching for your specific theatre website directly on Google.
• Will IMAX tickets be on sale online? If your theatre is selling regular tickets online, they should also be selling the IMAX tickets.

Ticket sales are through the roof and going even higher as people are hearing that showings are selling out!

Hunger Games School Supplies

Among all of the other official Hunger Games merchandise are some great items that can be used as school supplies. Among these are Hunger Games pencils, Hunger Games pencil cases (2 different that feature the Mockingjay), bookmarks, stationary, and folders. The great thing about these items is that they are reasonably priced–everything is under $10.

The bad news is that many of these items are already starting to sell out. Once they have sold out and the movie is no longer in the theaters, we will likely not see any more merchandise until Catching Fire comes out in 2013.
