The anticipation for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things has been heightened by delays due to the actor and writer strikes last year. Production resumed earlier this year, and fans have been treated to teasers and behind-the-scenes glimpses of their favorite characters. Meanwhile, merchandise related to the Netflix series has flooded the market, including Funko Pops, Bath & Body Works products, and action figures.
Now, Mattel is adding to the excitement with a new Stranger Things-themed Polly Pocket set. The Collector Stranger Things Compact set is designed to resemble a Hawkins Middle School A.V. Club walkie-talkie. When opened, it reveals two distinct areas: Hawkins, Indiana, featuring Hawkins Middle School and Castle Byers, and the eerie Upside Down. The set includes six micro figures—Mike, Dustin, Will, Lucas, Eleven, and the Demogorgon—along with accessories like bikes, walkie-talkies, a blond wig, and waffles for Eleven. Priced at $50, this set returns to the classic Polly Pocket format, offering a nostalgic appeal compared to recent, more compact designs.
What’s Next for ‘Stranger Things’?
Details about Stranger Things Season 5 remain under wraps, but the previous season’s finale left Hawkins vulnerable to new threats after the apparent defeat of Vecna. With the rifts between the real world and the Upside Down still open, the final season is expected to see the return of Vecna, seeking revenge on Eleven and her friends.
When Will ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Be Released?
Although a specific release date for the final season has not been announced, it is expected to debut in 2025. In the meantime, fans can pre-order the Polly Pocket Stranger Things set on Mattel Creations’ website, with shipping expected on or before September 27. Catch up on the first four seasons of Stranger Things now available on Netflix.
