Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting a pint-sized transformation that fans of the classic series never saw coming. Mattel has unveiled an unexpected crossover that shrinks the beloved Scoobies into a whole new collectible format ahead of a September launch.
Mattel’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer Polly Pocket recreates moments from the classic series
Mattel will launch a Polly Pocket Buffy the Vampire Slayer Compact set on Sept. 4. The set costs $33 and turns beloved TV show characters into miniaturized versions. It includes micro figures of Buffy, Willow, and Xander from the core Scoobies group.
The compact features iconic locations from the series across its two halves. Notably, the top half showcases scenes from Sunnydale High, the gang’s home base throughout the show. Meanwhile, the bottom half recreates Restfield Cemetery, which even includes Buffy’s grave from the series.
Additionally, Mattel packs the set with show-inspired accessories for added detail. A mini stake and a Vampyr book accompany the micro figures inside the compact. “Place micro figures of the core Scoobies group, Buffy, Willow, and Xander, into eerie scenes from Sunnydale High, as well as Restfield Cemetery, site of many of Buffy’s most epic showdowns,” the listing reads.
Furthermore, the product description highlights Buffy’s readiness for action in compact form. “Stake in hand and Vampyr book at the ready, Buffy Summers is ready to seize the moment and start slaying!” Mattel adds in its listing.
Beyond the Polly Pocket set, a Monster High Skullector 2-pack featuring Buffy and Angel also arrives. That set costs $98 and dresses both dolls in ’90s-chic faux-leather outfits. It includes a stake, crossbow accessories, a Slayer handbook purse, and a sword necklace.
Separately, Monster High announced the Skullector dolls on Instagram, where the post quickly gained massive traction. The announcement racked up over 123K likes within just a few hours. Both the Monster High and Polly Pocket sets go on sale at the Mattel shop on Sept. 4 at 9 AM PT.
