Remember Polly? She was this tiny girl who lived in a tiny house that could collapse and fold into a tiny compact. Polly and her tiny friends were your older sister’s best friends, and one time when no one was looking, a very young you picked up Polly and ate her. Your sister was furious, Mom was worried, and Nanny had the pleasant task of encouraging you to poop and then digging Polly out of your oopsie. 

>p>pYup, that Polly. The ’80s and ’90s Polly (the relaunch doesn’t count). Well, she’s received a makeover—sort of. The Toy Zone, the toy review site whose mission is to “help more kids end up with the toys they love,” has taken the throwback plaything and refashioned it as characters and settings from modern TV shows and movies. >pThe site sees its adaptations as akin to those of Lego, which has been doing a splendid job of latching on to popular franchises like Star Wars, Batman, and even Frozen. And so we have six new Polly-fied worlds: Monica’s apartment in Friends, Homer’s house in The Simpsons, the hobbit house in The Lord of the Rings, the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, the Byers’ residence in Stranger Things, and the Tenenbaum’s residence in The Royal Tenenbaums. Take a look:>p >pThe West Village apartment of Monica Gellar in Friends features the iconic orange couch.>h2
