The Hunger Games Trailer HD 2012

[singveld]

On last night’s Hunger Games Fireside Chat podcast, I discovered something I had missed in all the movie news last week: Lionsgate has released the official Hunger Games merchandise! Confoundingly, it’s being sold through what I thought was the defunct video store chain Hollywood Video, but they went all out on this stuff. It’s everything that a dedicated fan would want: Clothing, accessories, props, and action figures.

We pulled our favorite pieces from the collection; when I say “insane,” I mean it less critically and more “I can’t believe they thought of that!” Because it shouldn’t be a secret that if I had more money, I’d probably buy half the stuff here.

Katniss' Jacket ($120)
OK, this is badass. We've seen Jennifer Lawrence in the movie version of this jacket since the first shot of her as Katniss, and it just feels right. You can't deny that this is the Hunger Games equivalent of Harry Potter robes, and those are still selling! (There's also a cheaper version for $50.)

Fleece Throw ($25)
What's hilarious is that even though this looks like something a kid would buy, judging by the books' dark material, the studio knows it's adults who'll be buying this to put on their couches and beds.

Training Shirt ($50)
The jacket is one thing, but this represents a whole other level of detail. This is a replica of the shirts worn by the tributes in this new photo, and that reason alone makes me want to buy one. Looking like the characters is a smart way to drive sales... and couldn't you imagine wearing this to the gym and pretending like you were trying to impress the Gamemakers?

Action Figures ($18)
A bit pricey for a first-run action figure, but if you want to reenact The Hunger Games in the comfort of your room, then it's worth snatching up the figures of Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. But let's see some more for the main tributes, not to mention Effie and her great outfits!

Peeta Pillowcase ($15)
In the "home decor" category, you have the chance to sleep right next to Josh Hutcherson.

Knitted Phone Cover ($10)
For this, I'd probably recommend you find a higher-quality alternative (not to mention made with love) on Etsy.
