STRANGER THINGS CAPSULE

Product Information

All the actors are so damn good. They definitely manage to make those characters really come alive for me. For me, that whole group of nerdy friends is so relatable and their stories are incredibly compelling. And I’m so grateful for having been introduced to Winona Ryder — now I can understand why my parents were such fans of her work. But Eleven… wow. The incredible complexity of Eleven is fascinating for me. There are just so many layers to her: the rebel who is so tough and yet so fragile, the girl with unknown origins who is beyond loyal to her friends. Millie Bobby Brown plays her character with absolute perfection. I’ve loved following along, being one of the millions of witnesses watching El grow emotionally, over the past couple years. For fans of the supernatural series that shook up the world of streaming, there’s nothing better than holding a little bit of Hawkins right in their hands, and the best Stranger Things toys deliver the goods — straight from the Upside Down. Just make sure that the figurines remain rightside up when displaying them, though. FAQ Q: How many seasons does Stranger Things have? Each mini action figure has movable hands and feet so you can pose them on a display shelf or with your LEGO sets. The 12 Lite Brite templates in this set come with all your favorite Stranger Things themes including a Demogorgon, a waffle with butter and syrup, the Stranger Things logo, the Hellfire Club logo, and a Christmas light message stating, “Run!” There are iconic images from seasons 1-4 that fans of the show are certain to recognize.

And this season, it’s not just Hawkins, Indiana. You’re also set dressing in California. What are some of the key differences in your approach? Detailed to the point of being surreal, this 7-inch Demogorgon is both a blast to play with and decorate with. Some have claimed to even use it as a cake topper for Stranger Things-themed cakes, which is certainly a creative option. Regardless, however you choose to use the Demogorgon figurine, it is an impressively designed figurine that deserves respect for its attention to detail and mild scariness.

FAQ

No matter what you're looking for in Stranger Things toys and collectibles, we've got the list you'll love with all of your favorites from America's spooky hometown, Hawkins Indiana. Then there’s the matter of the Upside Down. While one might assume it’s largely created with the help of visual effects and CGI, the malevolent alternate dimension is actually applied practically to existing set designs, using raw building materials, including foam, plastic and even a healthy amount of pussy willow fluff. The result is an impossibly evil organism that looks like your worst nightmare — but also mind-bendingly mirrors the characters’ reality.

It was fun. As a production designer, you always hope for a set that is a character in its own right or that goes through some evolution in the course of a season or gets featured in the way the Byers’ house was featured. It's always a lot of work, especially in Season 1 and 2. Both times we were doing these elaborate lights and drawings, [we had to ask ourselves,] “How do we make this space that we're going to spend a lot of time in go through this visually interesting evolution that also is moving the story along?” It's a total pain in the ass in terms of scheduling, because we didn't duplicate that set. We're always working with that same space. It was a real ordeal choreographing with all the departments that are necessary to make those big changeovers, do big lighting changes, change walls out and just physically destroy things. It's a challenge. It's a logistical headache and a continuity nightmare, but ultimately really satisfying because everybody thinks about that set when they think about Stranger Things. Each 13-inch toy has a super-soft plushy exterior and a PP cotton filler for soft, squishy comfort. It’s designed to sit upright, making it perfect for your display shelf, desktop, or car dash — that’s if you don’t plan on sleeping with this plush toy. It features silk thread with fine stitching, so each Demogorgon has faithfully reproduced details and strong seams to resist tearing. It’s also machine washable! Just dry it on the line or in the sun. The puzzle depicts all your favorite characters, along with a Demogorgon and a coded Christmas light message. The Stranger Things Netflix logo is on the bottom of the puzzle picture. When completely assembled, you’ll want to frame and hang the 21 by 15-inch collage of iconic Stranger Things characters and moments. From the beginning, I knew that blending our heritage, French stylings and artisanal skills with Stranger Things’ distinctive look was going to work. I told my team that we were going to create the ideal inventory for a special luxury boutique that could have been set inside the Starcourt Mall. We played with ideas that we’ve shown on our fashion-week runways, as well as favorite looks from the series’ different characters. And, of course, we relied on that expert styling, tailoring and embellishment that one expects from Balmain. Funko Pops are one of the most popular collectible toys and Stranger Things is one of the most popular TV series of the decade. That’s why one of the best Stranger Things toys available today combines both fan favorites into one adorable toy. Funko Pop Stranger Things Eleven with Eggos is everything we love about Eleven in everything we love about Funko Pops. Plus, it comes in a gift-ready box with original artwork and a display window for those who like to keep their collectibles in mint condition.Let’s start with everyone’s favorite alternate dimension, the Upside Down, which is obviously alive and well in Season 4. It may be on a parallel plane, but it also mirrors the characters’ real world. Do you build every set twice — one regular, one dark and demented — or do you create one set and make it all look horrible?
