When I first heard about the Katniss Everdeen Barbie doll, I had very mixed feelings. The doll is now available for pre-order, and though I’m not sold, I’m relieved she doesn’t look as much like the classic Barbie doll as I feared she would. She’s wearing her arena outfit and comes with bow and arrows.
Designer Bill Greening says:
“I chose to dress her in the outfit she wears during the games, since this is where all the non-stop action takes place and is instantly recognizable by fans,” says Greening of the Katniss Barbie. “Of course, she wears her mockingjay pin proudly on her lapel.”
You’ll be able to get your Katniss doll in August. No word yet whether it comes with fake blood from the other tributes.

This mysterious 1/6 scale Joker Jr. doll will likely have the internet calling for a complete line of baby Batman characters, but they’ll probably have to do some digging first, as there doesn’t seem to be many details about this thing besides a report that it is slated for release in February 2012. Thankfully, there are quite a few photos to go by – which you can check out after the break.

You will want to keep your shifting short and quick just so you can avoid having to touch this grimy Dollhead Knob Shifter. Of course, if you were a heartless bastard you could probably just decapitate one of your kid’s dolls, rub it in the dirt and achieve the same effect. Either way, I’m amazed that someone actually has the nerve to sell this thing.

Here are the product details, according to the trusty internet translator:
These creatures are made of wonderfully soft and warm fur and plastic, modeled and painted by hand, details. Limbs and head are so well balanced that when you hold them in the hands of the feeling of motion and that SOWL live their own lives.
It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but if nothing else, this Sowl creature will relieve your curiosity over the type of unholy spawn that could result from a three-way between an eagle, a sheep and a rat.

Nothing like having a disembodied baby doll’s head as a decoration in your house. Even better is that it is also a votive holder so that creepy doll head can now have glowing eyes.

Kevin Smith pimping for himself with an (in)action figure that does absolutely nothing seems about right. I am sure the fact that there are no movable parts on this doll is just to frustrate those that would love to put him into compromising positions. Minus using some cutting tools it just isn’t going to happen.

Wow…just wow. Maybe he could be Barbie’s crazy stalker with an irritable bowel. You know—hiding in the bushes outside the dream house, pooping his pants. I just don’t know.

Your car should reflect your personality and nothing would give it quite the same feel as a replica of the blow up doll that takes up an inordinate amount of your time and attention. There is no one, besides your mother, girlfriends or any woman at all, who would object to this dashboard accessory as a personal statement. Something to consider for that new teen driver.
