"Hunger Games" mania is officially underway, and now that you've seen the premiere pics, you might want to get in on the fun with a little fashion show of your own. Fan gear based on the young adult book series is available at the Cafe Press official "Hunger Games" store Yahoo! Shine reports, like this Katniss & Peeta & T-Shirt for $32.50.

Or, you could get a "Hunger Games" t-shirt for your dog instead, like this Team Peeta Dog T-Shirt, for a mere 18 bucks.

Or perhaps you want to express your "Hunger Games" fan zeal a little more quietly, like on your underwear. This "I Love The Boy With The Bread" classic thong costs $12.50.

And believe it or not, there is a "Hunger Games" Snuggie -- or at least a Snuggie rip-off. This Hunger Games "I Heart Peeta" blanket wrap will set you back $39.50.

There's even a Tribute baby hat ($13) ... but it seems a little morbid for your baby cousin. It does say "kill or be killed" right on the rim, after all.

Still not satisfied? Cafe Press also sells a "Hunger Games" shoulder bag, water bottle, coffee cups and even a Team Gale license plate frame (that one roots for Miley Cyrus's boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth -- or his character if you're being literal). Whew! All this ... stuff and the movie is still more than a week away! Will you wear any of this fan gear? Or are rabid "Hunger Games" fans as lame as rabid "Twilight" fans?

I absolutely love the Hunger Games and for the most part, HG gear is pretty awesome. (I love the flaming mockingjay pin gear from Hot Topic!) However, I do think the Cafe Press gear is incredibly lame. Even though I've been an avid Hunger Games fan from the beginning, I wouldn't buy any of Cafe Press' HG merchandise. I especially think the Tribute baby hat went way too far. Oh and please, no team Peeta/Team Gale. Let's not turn this into Twilight.

Lame

It's a little lame, no matter how much I love the series... The furthest I would go would be a little mockingjay attire... Wish there were plugs with the mockingjay pin /:

Although instead of paying those outrageous prices, I would just buy plain shirts or bags and hand-paint them myself, where they look almost as good and lat twice as long

Because people with no artistic talent and lots of money can have them too. Plus, with copyright infringement on the line, I can't charge people for them. Which kinda sucks.

I know millions of teens are huge fans, and they would like this kind of Hunger Games paraphenalia, but it's a Little Lame, and Horribly Expensive.

I love the Hunger Games, but this gear is lame. I could make it myself for a cheaper price and it would look way better.

I love the hunger games but I don't like the fan gear they have. And the team Peeta or Gale thing sucks. She's NOT in love with both of them. Read the series first will you? -_-'

I love the Hunger Games, but I don't think that they need to jump on every single fad and make merchandise about it. To me, it just seems really stupid to buy clothes advertising a movie. It's cute when little kids wear Toy Story shirts and the like, but I think it's odd when teenagers get into all of these fads.

Lame but only because I have no idea what "Hunger Games" is. So of course I would not want any of their swag.

Okay, so now I found out what the Hunger Games is, and the whole idea leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Just what I don't want to watch. So they can keep their swag too.

Oh well, when I was younger my mom thought some of the stuff I was interested in was pretty crazy, so I guess each generation has their own thing. Mine is not to read about or watch two young people in the wilderness trying to kill each other.

Hope they don't go to the Twilight side and start making Hunger Games chocolate, bookends, perfume, ETC.

I could see HG making mockingjay plush animals, the pins, maybe creature features like the mutts and tracker jacker figurines as collector's items. Just please don't make Katniss/Peets/Gale doll collections like Twilight.

I've never read the books so I can't think of anything else! Did I miss anything?!
