Artist Noel Cruz has given a dramatic makeover to a store-bought Barbie doll made to look like the heroine of the Hunger Games series as portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence.
Cruz, who has built a lucrative career out of repainting dolls and actions figures of movie characters and celebrities, was able to transform the bland plastic Katniss Barbie into a life-like creature bearing an eerie resemblance to the Academy-Award winning actress.
Cruz has put the Katniss doll up for auction of eBay, where it sold for $2,500 Tuesday night.
His repainted dolls usually fetch anywhere between $500 and $3,500. In 2008, a private bidder shelled out more than $3,120 for Cruz’s astonishingly realistic Angelina Jolie doll.
