Little People return to the NFL in the form of New Orleans Saints and more . . .

My, how Little People have grown!

Since their early 2023 Super Bowl LVII toy tribute, Fisher-Price®’s Little People have overtaken the entire NFL. In fact, Little People American pro football infiltration has spread — contagion-style — to other divisions of proud parent company Mattel. There has yet to be a Little People x Barbie® x NFL collab, but hope is on the horizon!

A Little People explosion of NFL teams and custom packaging launches on August 21.

Today, Mattel air horns the arrival of Fisher-Price’s NFL Little People Collector™ sets via MattelCreations.com. Available for order of all 32 NFL teams (and for the first time), the exclusive sets contain three uniformed players and one hilarious fan in Little People likenesses. Packaging is collectable, too, because it features customized team catch phrases and color palettes. Best of all, each tiny team devotee has clever, team-specific face paint. The New Orleans Saints stan is a standout with his fleur-de-lis brows and nose. As they say in NOLA . . . Who dat?! (It could be one of this author’s authentic Crescent City cousins, that’s who!)
