Pennywise doll for IT

The new Pennywise Doll launched by Mattel is based on the main villain from the film IT. IT is a 2017 movie which was directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman. The film is based on Stephen King's 1986 novel called IT.  IT or Pennywise The Dancing Clown is an evil spirit that awakens every 27 years and haunts kids. 

The doll looks very similar to the character in the movie. The iconic clown face and the orange hair make the doll look very much like the evil character. Furthermore, the doll also features the iconic grey dress that looks very shiny and impressive. 

Grady Twins dolls from The Shining  

The new Grady Twins dolls are based on a Stanley Kubrick film called The Shining. The film is co-written with novelist Diane Johnson and is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name. It stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, Shelley Duvall as Wendy Torrance, Danny Lloyd as Danny Torrance, Scatman Crothers as Dick Hallorann and Barry Nelson as Stuart Ullman. 

The Grady Twins are an iconic duo that is seen often in the film. The dolls also look very similar to the characters and sport the same dress and look. Many Mattel toys are based on iconic characters.
