March 26, 2012 Updated Mar 26, 2012 at 8:47 AM PDT

"Hunger Games" is doing such big business at the box office that now a Barbie doll from the movie is in the works.

Mattel's Barbie Collector is in the process of producing a custom collectible doll inspired by heroine Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence in Lionsgate's big-screen adaptation, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The doll is "created specifically for the adult collector," Mattel tells THR. The Katniss doll will be available for purchase on BarbieCollector.com and other retail channels.

Images of the doll will be released along with the item's availability at a later date.

This isn't the first piece of merchandise being produced for the popular young-adult franchise. "Hunger Games"-themed nail polish, a workout class and a cookbook are just a few of the related merchandising efforts surrounding the book trilogy and movie.
