The Katniss Barbie doll is the perfect gift for a fan of the Hunger Games.

With Catching Fire out in theaters next month, this doll will definitely be a hit, as the look is inspired by Katniss' outfit in the film. The trailer shows Jennifer Lawrence wearing this black body suit when she's training for the 75th Games and when she first enters the arena, making it fitting for the [iconic doll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/younghee-doll). To stick with her strength the Barbie comes with a bow and arrows. Further, her hair is braided just as it was in Hunger Games and Catching Fire.

While the Katniss Barbie doll is perfect for young girls and fans of the films and books, it's also a great collectible for [avid Barbie collectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-roll-reveal).
