Regarding this doll, Melissa wrote:Ĭan a Democrat win over rural Ohio? Tim Ryan gives it a shot. Melissa Wardy of the Redefine Girly blog was shopping at Target, and she was shocked by Mattel’s small doll treatment of Merida. The small doll is a 6.5 inches tall, fully plastic doll priced at $5.99. Unfortunately, unlike Mattel’s Katniss doll, Mattel’s versions of Merida leave much to be desired. In the beginning of June, Mattel released another doll based on a strong female character: Merida from Disney/ Pixar’s "Brave." (The film was released June 22.) Merida is an atypical princess: Like Katniss, she is strong-willed, independent, and a skilled archer.
Only her eyes seem made up, but the colors are neutral, suggesting this is actually meant as contouring to make the doll’s eyes appear more three-dimensional.
The Katniss doll is flat-footed (no Barbie-style feet molded for high heels), and she is dressed for battle (not in a gown or dress).Ĭompared with the typical Barbie doll, Mattel’s Katniss wears very little makeup. In May, Mattel released a Katniss Everdeen doll, inspired by the look and style of Jennifer Lawrence in " The Hunger Games."Ĭompared with Mattel’s typical fare, the Katniss doll was refreshingly unsexualized – reflecting the character’s positive portrayal in the film.
