Fisher-Price has launched a special edition Little People Collector set that draws inspiration from the beloved The Devil Wears Prada film.
The Fisher-Price® Little People Collector™ The Devil Wears Prada includes four figures standing over 2.5 inches tall. These figures represent key characters from the film, including Andrea, Andy Sachs, Miranda Priestly, Nigel, and Emily. Each figure is styled with details inspired by the 2006 film and packaged in a decorative window box designed to resemble the office of Runway magazine, with hidden details for fans to discover.
The Fisher-Price® Little People Collector™ The Devil Wears Prada set is strategically timed to coincide with the release of the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere.
