Hunger Games fans reach 'next level of fandom' with new collectible boxes

Hunger Games fans just got a new way to bring the world of the movie home with them.

As the latest installment in the movie franchise, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, prepares to launch in theaters, Lionsgate and Shop the Scenes unveiled four curated merchandise boxes that include replica items and even authentic props used in the film.

CEO of Shop the Scenes, Jill Martin says these boxes give fans an entirely new way to watch their favorite shows and movies fostering a deeper and more meaningful connection to the storyline and characters.

Martin says the access and collaboration with Lionsgate will give consumers the ability to take home actual movie props used in connection with the movie and collectible merchandise, taking fandom to a whole new level.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, an origin story, is about a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), future president of Panem, as he's tasked with mentoring District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) in the 10th annual Hunger Games.

Inside the Official Merchandise Collection box, ($49.96, Walmart), is an Academy notebook, a Lucy Gray Baird & the Covey band hat, Coriolanus’s dog tags, Lucky Flickerman’s signature card deck, and a set of seven Panem stickers.

The Aviator Nation Merchandise & Memorabilia Collection box ($150, ShoptheScenes.com) contains an Academy tee plus authentic props used in the new movie. There's also a replica of Snow’s handkerchief and Panem money, the authentic and original movie prop used in connection with the movie. The prop comes in an acrylic case and has a certificate of authenticity.

Within the Music Box ($250, Walmart.com) — which is made of wood and plays the Mockingjay whistle when opened — are golden rose petals, keepsake Polaroids of the characters, and an Academy pin movie prop.
