Mattel works in collaboration with NBC as Polly Pocket transforms the show into The Office set. It is an adorable playset that alters Dunder Mifflin into a compact structure, down to intricate details, including the 'World's Best Boss' mug owned by Michael Scott. When opening up the set, it unveils small versions of six office locations to allow fans to truly relive these moments.
Inside the set are also small figurines of familiar characters, including Dwight, Pam, Jim, Kevin, Kelly, and Michael.
