Katniss Spotted for $12!

Today at Walmart I was surprised to see the Katniss dolls on clearance for $12.  Considering she is fully articulated, I justified buying a second one.  I will use her body as a donor and keep her head in it's original condition.  The first one I bought will get her hair taken down.  I don't know if this is a storewide clearance item, but it's worth a look for those still interested in buying her.  


Tomorrow, I start shooting the Disney trip.  I finally have everything I need.  See you soon.

  1. I finally got one from Amazon.com for 12.00 with free shipping during the holidays. The next day they jacked the price up to $20. My sister keeps calling her my doppelgänger. (I actually have a longtime friend that calls me Catniss and he was doing it before the books came along.) The more I look at her...the more creeped out I get. lol I took her hair down, and she is on my "to do" customization list. In other words...she is sitting naked on my shelf staring at me to get to it. Ha! (^_^)

    1. Roville - Thanks. Her skin tone is slightly tan. I will try to compare her to another doll when I go to the workroom and get back to you on that.

  5. I got the Katniss at Target, but you scored a much better deal!
    Walmart is having a clearance sale everyone- but in my walmart- they are putting up tags in front of the dolls- deal of the month/week. I scored Nikki I can be a baby doctor for 6.50 and the barbie/chelsea teacher set for 11.00- they also had the Skipper/Stacey ski-do set for 11.00 as well! holiday barbie was 16.00 but I stopped myself...

  8. She was on sale at my Maryland Walmart too. I didnt buy a second one though. I went in to see if they had the new So In style dolls yet. Since amazon is sold out.

    1. Mustiwait - What? Sold out of the SIS dolls. Wow. Glad I got mine when I did. I figured they would sell out when I saw the small quantity they had on hand. I saw the Kara set in one of my Walmarts two weeks ago. Hope you find it.

  9. She's expensive also in Italy, not only in Spain, 53,90 Euros that are more or less than $ 70,29. Mattel will never have these money from me! I prefer waiting for a Tonner reduced price Catniss, even if I don't have so much space for a 16" doll

  11. Hello from Spain: what luck! This doll is super cheap in your country. In the shops of my city is one of the most expensive. I have none. Keep in touch

    1. Marta - Sorry she hasn't been priced well enough to make it into your collection. Maybe she will find her way to you one day in the future.

  12. Katniss dolls sold for around $40 here also when they first came out but my daughter made me shop around so I got her for a bit less - but not as cheap as you. I haven't looked at prices recently but you've made me think I should look again.
