6 Iconic Homes From Movies And TV Shows Made Into Polly Pocket Playhouses By TheToyZone

ADVERTISEMENT

Do you remember Polly Pockets? They were this adorable toy, popular in the ’90s. You would open up a box and a tiny world would wait for you inside. It was created by Chris Wiggs, who created this toy by making a tiny dollhouse in a powder compact for his daughter Kate in 1983.

Since then, Polly Pocket was taken over by Bluebird Toys and then Mattel. It has had many remakes, redesigns, and relaunches, even movies.

The Toy Zone decided to revive Polly Pockets once more. They teamed up with CGI artist Jan Koudela to create Pockets based on Stranger Things, The Lord of the Rings, and 4 more popular TV shows and movies.

What do you think of these toys? Which one would you like to have? Tell us in the comments down below!

The Byers’ residence (Stranger Things)

“The hinges of the Stranger Things Polly Pocket are more than an opening mechanism. They represent a portal between Joyce Byers’ home and the Upside Down that lurks beneath Hawkins, Indiana.

Stranger Things is the perfect 1980s throwback, and it wouldn’t be surprising for an early Polly Pocket commercial to show up on Will and Jonathan’s TV. Will you have sleepless nights knowing there’s a tiny Upside Down in your toy chest?”

Monica’s apartment (Friends)

“Monica Geller has long coveted a dollhouse, but she was imagining something a bit bigger than this. Still, the unofficial Friends Polly Pocket will be a lot easier to keep spotlessly clean than her ‘real’ West Village apartment, or Aunt Sylvia’s vintage doll mansion.

All Monica’s Polly Pocket is missing is a Bachelor Pad Pocket across the hallway. Oh yeah, and a giant dog to pee on the roof. Could Monica’s apartment be any cuter?”

The Simpsons’ residence (The Simpsons)

“The Simpsons series dropped the same year as the first mass-produced Polly Pocket toys, and the two properties are united by a color scheme that screams “1989.” For The Simpsons Polly Pocket, we gave 742 Evergreen Terrace the pocket treatment, and it seems like a match made in heaven.

In fact, aren’t we overdue a Polly Pocketified Simpsons episode? We’ve had 3D Homer, a LEGO episode, and bits and bobs of Claymation. Bring on Powder Compact of Horror XXXII!”

Hobbit house (The Lord of the Rings)

“Everyone wants a Hobbit-hole (at least as a holiday home). If you don’t have the wherewithal to build your own just now, you can enjoy the ultra-cozy appeal of our pocket-sized offering instead.

The compact structure lends itself perfectly to the Hobbit house’s familiar curves and circular doors and windows. You even have a patch of Shire outside to enjoy. But even Bilbo Baggins would struggle not to bang his head entering this tiny piece of LOTR real estate.”

The Overlook Hotel (The Shining)

“Hey, Mattel! How about a Stephen King-inspired line of Polly Pockets? Much like the Tenenbaums’ house below, every room in the Overlook Hotel has a double-meaning. Only here, things get much, much darker.

You’ll need a tiny trike to fully enjoy that endless corridor, and a warm, tiny coat to survive the maze (which appears in Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining, but not the book or mini-series). And if you see the elevator doors begin to open, make sure to snap shut your Polly Pocket quick sharp!”

The Tenenbaums’ residence (The Royal Tenenbaums)

“Wes Anderson’s aesthetic has often been compared to Polly Pocket. Everything just fits so neatly! The Royal Tenenbaums is the movie where Anderson’s signature look really took hold and the Tenenbaums’ home functions as architectural psychoanalysis of the family’s respective hang-ups.

It would be great if someone commissioned Wes Anderson to make a line of Polly Pockets. While waiting for that to happen, we created The Royal Tenenbaums Polly Pocket, giving Anderson’s ultimate dysfunctional family their own pocket mansion. We even included a tent.”

These are so amazing! I have always dreamed of a pocket dollhouse or scenery. I have tried to make them in gum boxes, but it wasn't easy. I love them!
