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.

Hmm, that's interesting. Polly Pocket stuff used to be for
children, and Buffy isn't really a children's show. I wonder if
the Millennials, with their extended-childhood thing, are the
target market for this.

But I'm not so easily sold.
For supposing they should,
It would do them no good --
They'd lose it at once to the bold.
