12th scale Dolls House TV actually functions, keeps Polly Pocket entertained

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 9th 2008 at 2:27PM


Generally speaking, when your good toys go bad, sitting them down within a cramped up doll house is adequate punishment. Unfortunately, said tactic is no longer valid if your kiddo's doll house is equipped with a Dolls House TV. This handcrafted 12th scale television -- which is just barely taller than a AA battery -- is built to feel right at home in Barbie's domicile, and considering that it features composite inputs, you can even watch a DVD or play Guitar Hero while trying not to squint. Granted, we can't see paying £99 ($195) for this thing, but don't believe for a second that some rug rats aren't already screaming for one.

Even the other toys love Wii: gaming on a 1.5-inch dollhouse TV

We didn't even know that functional 1.5-inch TVs existed, but if we had one, you can bet that we'd hook up our Wii to it, pronto. This video on Gamebrink.com shows the Wii totally dwarfing the monitor, (there's a cameo appearance by a pack of Kent cigarettes) but nevertheless, it clearly shows a functional console doing all of the normal Wii-type activities. We can't imagine that playing a Wii on a screen tinier than our cell phone is a good idea, but it's bound to brighten up any dollhouse living room, that's for sure. At least this way, the minuscule screen will be a smaller target for those flying Wiimotes we've been hearing about.
