I wad also gonna comment that! In the 90s Polly Pockets were the tiny ones, but in the 2000s they were larger dolls with rubber clothes, and that's what I had. I even had a little car for mine!
Polly pockets is a brand with two different doll size. There is the classic compacts with the interactive playsets and tiny figurine and those which are just "Polly" (not pockets). Those are dolls and not figurines, they come with removable rubber clothes and accessories and bigger playsets. Both are they're unique style, they still make the compacts versions that you thought you were getting. They're just two different products ;)
These ones are more like the early 2000’s ones that I grew up on. As an autistic child, the rubber clothes were very satisfying to fidget with. I also remember playing games on the website, specifically the dress up game they had. I used to spend hours playing on that site!
I also had these growing up. I have fond memories of going to a friend’s house and playing with them in her little 3ft pool. They were perfectly water safe. 😊
I am showing my age with this, but I remember playing with Polly Pocket when it was the tiny plastic cases, and I had a very large collection of Polly Pocket rubber clothing and doll collection growing up. I had all kinds of players for it, the car, the shopping mall, the pet store...so many!
Same. I collect the Vintage Compacts but they also did Pollyville (the houses and towns) and then the larger rubber Polly etc and then the newer compacts but with the split legs. She's been through so many phases
I remember those 😊, I didn't have them myself as they didn't interest me, however I had friends who had them and loved them, I just thought they were a waste of money 🙈 I mainly played with Lego and I read a lot, I always loved my books, still do love reading and have a library at home so nothing has changed much in over 40 years lol 📚😃 but yes I was that weird kid sat in the corner reading books showing zero interest in toys 🙈🤣 however as a adult I do collect geeky toys from star wars, harry potter etc and of course I collect books, I really don't want to know how much I've spent on collectable books over the years,😳 all I know is my bank account hates me 🙈🤣
These first two Polly’s are more like the mid 2000s version of Polly, which me and my younger sister were obsessed with. The rubber outfits are meant to be just a little big to make it easier to put on & off. Polly has always fought the “this is a choking hazard” battle, so I think them making this doll just that much bigger is there way of trying not to have everything as small. As far as the background “set” a lot of the mid 2000s dolls didn’t come with a set, the ones I think of specifically is the multiple princess lines they had that didn’t have anything. So even though these “bags” are boring it’s at least something, and it gives people the opportunity to customize it! Kid me also wonders if it’s still just as satisfying chewing on the clothes as it was when I was a kid 😂😂 I know like minded individuals are out there 😂😂
Ah I remember those polly pockets! When I was like 5-6 ish (21 years ago) I had a lot of these and yes, their clothes and Accessoires were made of rubber back then! I think they‘re trying to go back to the Retro pollys with the Mystery Boxes! I love that!
The early 2000s dolls were so cute. I had a best friend that would trade with me. We mixed and matched the outfits and accessories. And that was the best part! I had the shell house and she had a square house and we would pretend that they were neighbors. I will say I think the polly pockets were better than then they are now.
10:15 they kind of switched in 2001, from having a pocket-sized environment to a pocket-sized doll. So it's no longer the environment that fits in the pocket, but the doll itself and growing up I used to do that all the time and I would put the doll in my pocket and carry her with me.
Back in my day, I had a huge star shaped Polly Pocket case. It inside was like a little amusement park and it really lit up! It had a ferris wheel and they could stand in an area where they could dance around. There were also a bunch of little seats for them to sit. It was magical and I loved that thing. This is so boring in comparison!!
I HATEEEE the bigger Polly pockets 😩 gimmie the tiny choking hazard with the overwhelmingly detailed case or nothing. But I'm glad these giant Polly's have their own fans haha ❤
I'm sorry you can't beat the 80's/90's Polly Pocket, I had a few different sets including a money box and clock! There was jewelry ones as well (necklaces and rings) so that you could take your fav one with you.The modern one was resized due to health and safety (choking hazard) just goes to show common sense is dying out!
I even had a pair of sneakers that had a tiny clear compartment on the sides with a polly in it. When I grew out of the shoes my mom had to cut it open, so I could keep the polly XD
Even though these are much bigger than the Polly Pockets I had growing up, the nostalgia still hits so hard. As soon as you mentioned the “rubber” style clothing, I felt the nostalgia rushing back.
My daughter has a huge polly pocket collection... she started with the original minis and moved to the 3 in dolls... the clothes are great she can change them herself and as a mom you know how wonderful that is!!!
Ahhh pollys rubber clothes 😂 our chocolate lab we had growing up LOVED to chew on em. We always knew when she had one cause she would roll on em and chase em across the floor like a cat.
When I was younger, these larger Polly pockets were the ones we had. Polly pocket water sets- and Polly pocket suction cup wall sets! They have both versions, which is why the front of the box displays size. They still make the tiny houses with interactive environments. :-)
I used to have Polly pockets just like these just slightly smaller. The rubber is so you can easily take off the clothes without ripping them or breaking the doll, and yes gentle fingers are needed
Polly pockets were like this in the early 2000s and I loved mine! I used to spend hours choosing outfits. I think the whole gimic of the bigger polly pockets was to dress them up, I think the sets you opened are more like a wardrobe ? Instead of an interactive compact like the older ones. I guess if you collect them all you can put all of the outfits in one wardrobe to mix and match
I had the original polly pockets and they were so much better. I wish I still had them. The pocket sized feature was the best part so u could take it out with you
I had Polly Pockets, two of the 90s one where you have a small box in a shape with an environment inside and a 2000s one with a big cruis ship. I loved it so much
Polly pocket was always super tiny originally but in the 2000s they were discontinued for a short time due to choking hazards and were rereleased a few years later as 3 inch dolls. They didn't get tiny again until about 10 years ago
My daughter’s Polly were half that size. They had the rubber clothes. They truly weren’t able to fit in my pocket. Then a smaller version came around and they had magnets on their feet. You would play with them in their little house. The smaller ones you couldn’t change your clothes. They were actually rubber themselves.
I remenber a toy line from poly pocket where they had exchangable rubber clothings, and the dolls were a tad smaller than that one you have, and alot more movable. My sister still has the dolls stashed away in a box like a treasure and sometimes she takes them out so we can reminisce on them XD I also still have the original poly pockets with their small houses. I dont have many, but i still have them, even the oens made with the disney princesses.
The reason shes so big is bc in the series٫ she is a normal human being but that neclace that she came with is acctualy her grandma's locket and when she says a specepic word(s) that I forgot what it was- she turns tiny. so the small ones are her when shes tiny and those types of ones are when shes not using her locket to be human size. Also the characters are all from the series. hope this helps and you see it ❤🧂🦝❤
I had some kind of Polly Pocket house with secret compartments that popped up, that was fun... But more than Polly Pocket, I loved the Pound Puppy playsets! They had miniature dog characters in a mini environment 😍🐶🐶
@@timbobshe I had forgotten it, but this video triggered the memory 🥹 My brother had the Pound Puppy Van! (I had a mini gym / olympics playset: the dogs could ski down a hill or do high-jump ⛷)
So there is a polly pocket show now the necklace makes her into the mini version you know and love lol... those are just the closest they have interactive houses for the big and small dolls too
i had tons as a kid, i loved them, still have a few i think, as childhood keepsakes, my favourite was a ice palace, the dolls would 'skate around' if you toggled a switch.
I had a few polly pocket sets, and one was a jungle zip line themed one, where each character you got could ACTUALLY zip line down the whole thing, there were a bunch of other cool things, but the coolest was that the polly pockets hair changed colour with hot/cold water!
For the calendar, 20th was the pink present box. I loved my Polly Pocket that I had when I was a kid, at 90's. If i remember right, I might have two, or maybe the other one was my little sisters :D
I'm surprised that Polly pocket is going larger size, meanwhile Barbie has miniature figurines now. I have 4 mini Barbies for my own custom projects and those are taller than Polly pocket used to be, but the idea is same. They also have mini boat, car or house to choose from and mini versions of the color reveal and the plushy costume versions that come with tiny tiny animal with it. I got the unicorn, where the head of the costume also comes off! I love miniature stuff.
The only Polly Pocket themed toy I had growing up with was a Polly Pocket Locket necklace that used to belong to my sister & a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy when I was a kid, that’s what I had growing up with 🥰🥰🥰
My daughter was born in 1987, put her at the age when they were really popular, I remember buying the tiny poly pockets for her whenever we went out shopping. Love ❤❤ you and your channel Jackie ❤~Gina
When I grew up we never hat the tiny og lockets it was always the small dolls with rubber clothing. They did have a line with magnetic clothing and a full play set series, my friends and I had different segments of that one and when we met we would always put them together and play on the different parts ( it was star themed so there was a stage, a villa, a salon and such and they had fun moving mechanics)
Im from Brazil and my whole childhood had been with big polly pockets in rubber clothes. In the 2005 the try to make a magnetic version but was a disaster. Just now that they are bringing back the classic version that I discovery why they are call pocket. never knew
Polly Pockets came out when I was a preteen/teen. They were really, really, really small and came in an environment that fit in the palm of your hand. I like the ones from back in the day rather than what they sell now.
Me and my sister were obsessed with polly pockets we had a 50 gallon container full of them and we would cover out entire bedroom floor and create and entire town of our own and everytime we had enough to make the town different every time we played with them.
I absolutely LOVED Polly pockets when I was a smol grain!!!!! I remember I had this like rollercoaster and you could connect your little tiny Polly pockets(they were so tiny honestly surprised they made them because of the choking hazard but back then people didn't care as much lol) to it and they would ride around it and then it also had like other amusement park stuff and I would play with that for HOURS and HOURS. I also had Barbies(my grandpa used to go to the dump and one time found like this prototype tent and I would make them go camping) and then I also LOVED littlest pet shops(I think I still have a ladybug one maybe?) and also those like hamster ones and I had a like track they would race around and I also had a DS game with them!
I had 90s early 2000s polly pockets they are much smaller and i think are what sparked my interest in mini things i was still a kid when they switched to the big pollys like the one in the mystery box they are iconic for their chewy clothes 😂
Oh Jackie, this is exactly what this generations polly pocket is nowdays. The advent calendar is cool. The gems should open that pink box, stick the pokey part into the slot and it should open. Unfortunately, your lack of polly knowledge has made this video incredibly salty. I appreciate your opinion, I am a very big fan. I consult your channel before I buy my kids ANYTHING. But, I think you treated this one a little too harsh. My opinion. Anyway, thanks for being you and opening this! My daughter will love it.
I had some Polly Pockets in the 90s. They were small enough to be necklace pendants, or could fit in pockets. (When we had pockets, *sob*.) The dolls were TINY, and same with their pets. They're bigger these days than they used to be. But I'd love to get the advent calendar. There are so many advent calendars I'd love to get, like Little Pet Shop and Hot Wheels, omg.
I feel like my polly pockets in the 2000s were slightly smaller than this size. My sister and I had a lot of the play sets, some of my favorites were a water park with glittery dolphins, a purple poodle, some cars, and a horse trailer. Some of mine had combable hair and some (probably the ones with pools) had plastic hair. I feel like the faces were a lot different than the ones you opened today. Disney had similar dolls too so I had some princess polly pockets too, kept the disney stuff together in the traveling case so idk if they were the same size I remember thinking it was weird that the McDonalds Polly Pockets had hard plastic snap on clothes, still cute though
I have my Polly collection ! all back from the 1988 ❤❤ it's my baby and is worth so much in my eyes ! my daughter plays with them still and we love them !!!!
I wish I still had my original Polly Pockets from the early 90s… I got the 40th anniversary one from my local Mattel store earlier this year…. I actually want the advent calendar… I have the Monster High and Friends Polly Pockets. I want to find The Addams Family one. I have a couple other little Polly Pockets. And I have the strawberry milk one you opened.
When I was little I used to shove my polly pockets in the bathroom and all of the nooks and crannies. I had the snowy house that had a heater and a snowboard/skiing/sledding part.
These are styled after the early 2000’s Polly pockets. They were the same size with the rubbery cloths. These are very cute and reminiscent of the ones I had as a little grain.
I was a little too young for the classic polly pocket but I did have one! my older cousin had so much and I loved getting to see them all! When I got older I had the late 90's early 2000s ones but quickly swapped over to the lil bratz dolls
Jackie it's so cute watching you discover Polly's clothes are rubber! I've been a long time fan and I had a few coats of Polly's that I liked to chew on back in the day 🤤
Ok look lol...I had the OG Polly Pockets, the ones in the small compacts..all of that. I still have them. But, they were basically just as "interactive" as this, and tbh...this is even more so than those were! You basically got a tiny doll, sometimes a friend or a pet, and then she just could walk around in the compact environment. That's it... But did I love that as a kid...hells yes I did! So yeah, this is for kids..they will enjoy and will enjoy collecting them all!
Bluebird toys were under 1". when Mattel bought the company increased the size to 3". I feel Mattel lost the point of polly pocket and worlds fitting into a child's pocket.
I have the distinct memory of four little glittery jeeps for polly pocket with rolling wheels that I would just TORMENT our kitchen with. I also that I had some glittery Disney princess dresses for them. I only remember that, because the glitter was the only outfits I wouldn't chew on XD
i had some polly pocket toys, the bigger ones, as a kid, even the expandable car thing. I remember watchnig the movie at Christmas along with Transformers Energon episodes. I still have my dolls and loved paying with them. a "friend" (not anymore, classic bff backstab, don't ask) traded me some dolls and one of them kept falling apart in the hip pelvic area no idea why. the clothes were always rubber and can break if you tug on thin straps too much.
What I remember thé most about PollyPocket : are my 2 daughters singing " pololololy Polly we like to have some fun" is was a Little box and polly sang . My daughters sang this on and off for giggles for a few yearsssss ! Glad I have two grandsons now lolll I did enjoy buying all these fun girlie toys . Thé clothes were also made of rubber 20 years ago ;) Bisous ma belle merci pour tes vidéos, ça m'amuse !
My oldest daughter, 38, had all of the original Polly Pockets. After a year or so, they came out with a larger edition called Lucy Locket. I think one of the issues people have with the Polly Pocket smaller size is how tiny and easy to lose all the parts are.... The larger ones remind me of Barbie's younger sister, Skipper, in size. None of the Barbie universe can stand on their own without a stand... They are still cute, and as long as you have an imagination, they are interactive? The advent calendar makes a cute environment that you can move around how you want to. The bigger dolls do come with lots of outfits! 👍 How do the astronaut dress and helmet look together?
I collect the little Pollys! I just ordered the advent calendar yesterday for $16 I've been eyeing it for years. I'm not a fan of the bigger pollys (i think those are pollyville?) But I believe shes got 3 sizes now
OMG I MUST GET THEM THEY ARE BACK AAAH i used to collect those exact type of polly pocket! But they got discounted in my country and never saw them again THEY EXIST AGAIN IM SO HAPPY I need to go get them so i get more clothes to my current ones omg x3 (im 21 and my 12 self is so happy rn)
I think they changed the size of Polly Pocket to be bigger instead of itty bitty so the girls could change the clothes cuz the tiny ones you couldn't change the clothes. I mean making them a bit bigger then they were able to create clothes for them, so now you can dress them how you want
In the 90s I first got a Polly pocket set that was heart shaped and actually fit in a pocket. A year or two later I got a Polly Pocket, but this one was a house and there was no way it was going to fit in any pocket. I liked the pocket one because it was easy to bring to a friend's house whether you were supposed to or not. I'm sure that more than a couple made it to schools that way too. Those dolls couldn't be dressed and were just hard plastic. I even got a pair of sneakers that had little Polly Pockets in these plastic bubbles on the outside of each shoe. I remember not being allowed to cut the dolls out until the shoes were unwearable, it was the longest wait ever in my child mind. I heard a rumor that they started to make the dolls bigger because they were a choking hazard.
I grew up in the 90s and the Polly Pocket toys I had were the miniature, pocket size ones, like in the advent calendar. They were not interactive though. I think I had three. Each one was a different environment, where you would just sit/stand the Polly character in different rooms. The whole point was to play pretend. I had a school (which was my favourite), a circus and a generic house. I did have different ethnicity characters too!
Jackie, in the 90s the did a "Mighty Max" (the boy version of Polly) for TMNT. I had one of those...still do. And for the 2012 series they also made playsets like these. They are called Micro Mutants.
Thank you for all your hard work,Jackie=) And thank you , grains, who commented about Polly Pocket more=) It was so interesting to read=3 Wishing you all a lovely weekend=3
My memory of polly pocket was my childhood best friend being absolutely obsessed with polly pocket and not letting me touch any of her polly pocket toys
Polly Pocket was one of the only toy sets I loved playing with. I had two compacts (got them for my birthday) and I had one pretty large playset. I was so careful with the sets that they lasted for a very long time. I think they are still in my collection of toys (dolls, barbies and other toy sets), but where they are, I have no idea. I also played the online Polly Pocket games.
I immediately clicked when I got the notification!! Gosh I just love your vibe Jackeh❤!! Why did the pants coming off made me laugh so hard tho 😂😂 RiP the og pollies
Omg childhood memories with polly pocket! I used to watch the Polly pocket shows growing up when I was a small grain, 5:18 is Polly from the 2018 cartoon series I believe, not Polly in her miniature size, the choking hazard ones that are childhood memories are the best 😭🫶
I love this product, its so nostalgic for me! I was absolutely a rubber clothes chewer lol! I just wish Jackie would have taken a bit of time prior to the unboxing to see that this is a variety of Polly Pockets. I thought it was a bit unfair to compare it to the original miniatures when it’s clearly not meant to be comparable to those. I totally agree that the environments could be a bit more interactive/ different!
My sisters had a bunch of the rubber doll clothes when I was little! And my favorite thing as a little grain was chewing on those rubber clothes! Such a good texture XD lmao
7:18 so this size of doll for polly pocket started in 2001 to today. And I find that I prefer the 2001 to 2006 style more than the current dolls because they had smaller heads, and were not as top heavy. The rubber clothes are also a thing that they have had around ever since 2001, they did at one point try cloth as well so sometimes you can find cloth, Polly pocket clothes out there, but they kind of threw that idea out and just went back to rubber, I believe because of the cost of making cloth clothes for a small doll
My kids were born in the late 80s early 90s....annnnd....they had Polly Pockets that were tiny...and the bigger ones, too. The clothes appear to be made a bit better now than they were when my kids were stretching them on and off their Pollys. The disco box the arch is the 'entry' to the disco, not a 'photo op' LOL My granddaughter's b'day is the 8th (of July) and on Day 8 you got the candy canes and peppermint (they go on the little pegs on some of the other pieces) Day 13 (for my birthday in April) you got what you said was a cookie...I think you were right about it being a pinata. LOL The gems (like the candy) go on the pegs...and (if I'm not mistaken they are numbered)
The main memory I have of Polly Pocket is when my younger sister stuck a Polly Pocket shoe in her ear and had to go to the emergency room to get it out. She was really little at the time, but it still comes up from time to time.
I remember I had a Polly Pocket race track for my 8th birthday. It was the first birthday after moving to my current house and man that thing was huge! It was a pain to put together according to my dad. I had all of it in a huge tub under my bed but sadly we had to get rid of it as it was breaking. I wish I could play with it again some day.
I'm from 1999 and I grew up with these rubber clothes, there was a time when they made clothes with magnets but, at least in my country, they were banned because children swallowed them
In the 2000s I had a TON of the big polls pockets and the tiny ones as well. I use to chew on the rubber outfits... I remember chewing on a purple? Or pink dress and ended up ripping part of the dress off 😂

Hi, NerdE
In the 2000s I had Polly pockets that bigger size as well. And some people would chew on the rubber clothing 😂
Thank you, was coming to comment this
Loved those as a child
I wad also gonna comment that! In the 90s Polly Pockets were the tiny ones, but in the 2000s they were larger dolls with rubber clothes, and that's what I had. I even had a little car for mine!
i was thinking i'll see this comment
The clothes were very chewable 🤣

I LOVED Polly Pocket as a kid because chewing on the clothing was such a good stim.
I am showing my age with this, but I remember playing with Polly Pocket when it was the tiny plastic cases, and I had a very large collection of Polly Pocket rubber clothing and doll collection growing up.
I had all kinds of players for it, the car, the shopping mall, the pet store...so many!
Me too. I had a tiny plastic case one too.
That sounds awesome you had your own town
Same. I collect the Vintage Compacts but they also did Pollyville (the houses and towns) and then the larger rubber Polly etc and then the newer compacts but with the split legs. She's been through so many phases
Same ! I had the complete set of the 80/90s ones me and my cousin used to trade ones if we had duplicates 😂 loved them ❤
I remember those 😊, I didn't have them myself as they didn't interest me, however I had friends who had them and loved them, I just thought they were a waste of money 🙈 I mainly played with Lego and I read a lot, I always loved my books, still do love reading and have a library at home so nothing has changed much in over 40 years lol 📚😃 but yes I was that weird kid sat in the corner reading books showing zero interest in toys 🙈🤣 however as a adult I do collect geeky toys from star wars, harry potter etc and of course I collect books, I really don't want to know how much I've spent on collectable books over the years,😳 all I know is my bank account hates me 🙈🤣
The early 2000s Polly Pockets had my heart! I’m so glad to see they are still around and that they still have the bigger versions

I used to chew on the shoes. 😅 A specific pair of orange boots come to mind.
My niece loves polly pocket and I had no idea they had an advent calendar! I just bought it off Amazon for $14 USD! 🎉🎉 Thanks Jackie! 💜
Ah I remember those polly pockets! When I was like 5-6 ish (21 years ago) I had a lot of these and yes, their clothes and Accessoires were made of rubber back then! I think they‘re trying to go back to the Retro pollys with the Mystery Boxes! I love that!

@@altoidsours I had that one too!!!! It was my favorite.
Pretty sure I had that one too...but to be fair, I don't think it's as interactive as Jackie wanted lol
"They" decided the original Polly Pockets were a choke hazard. I prefer the originals. The playsets were so cute!!
I HATEEEE the bigger Polly pockets 😩 gimmie the tiny choking hazard with the overwhelmingly detailed case or nothing. But I'm glad these giant Polly's have their own fans haha ❤
I'm sorry you can't beat the 80's/90's Polly Pocket, I had a few different sets including a money box and clock!

Ahhh pollys rubber clothes 😂 our chocolate lab we had growing up LOVED to chew on em. We always knew when she had one cause she would roll on em and chase em across the floor like a cat.
The original polly pocket that had a round bottom to snap into the cases is when they were the best.
I COLLECT POLLY POCKET!!! I’ve been collecting for many years and have a ton of of the vintage ones!! I recently picked up the Addams Family one!!
When I was younger, these larger Polly pockets were the ones we had. Polly pocket water sets- and Polly pocket suction cup wall sets! They have both versions, which is why the front of the box displays size. They still make the tiny houses with interactive environments. :-)
Some of the tiny accessories, like the jewels and candy are suppose to go on the Christmas tree in the advent calendar
I used to have Polly pockets just like these just slightly smaller. The rubber is so you can easily take off the clothes without ripping them or breaking the doll, and yes gentle fingers are needed
The only Polly Pocket I ove are the really tiny ones from the 80s - 90s. When they made the dolls a little taller I was like NOPE.
Agreed haha
Ditto! If it's not a clamshell where you have to be paranoid that you lost the tiny accessories/dolls, it's not a Polly Pocket!
I just bought my daughter the tiny ones for Christmas. They still make them 😊
The really tiny ones were awesome!
Same! As soon as I saw they got bigger I was... eww no
Polly pockets were like this in the early 2000s and I loved mine! I used to spend hours choosing outfits. I think the whole gimic of the bigger polly pockets was to dress them up, I think the sets you opened are more like a wardrobe ? Instead of an interactive compact like the older ones. I guess if you collect them all you can put all of the outfits in one wardrobe to mix and match
I had the original polly pockets and they were so much better. I wish I still had them. The pocket sized feature was the best part so u could take it out with you
"pollution pocket" 😂
I had Polly Pockets, two of the 90s one where you have a small box in a shape with an environment inside and a 2000s one with a big cruis ship. I loved it so much
Polly pocket was always super tiny originally but in the 2000s they were discontinued for a short time due to choking hazards and were rereleased a few years later as 3 inch dolls. They didn't get tiny again until about 10 years ago
My friends an I loved the 3inch dolls. We would bring them to school t recess and play. We would also trade!
My daughter’s Polly were half that size. They had the rubber clothes. They truly weren’t able to fit in my pocket. Then a smaller version came around and they had magnets on their feet. You would play with them in their little house. The smaller ones you couldn’t change your clothes. They were actually rubber themselves.
Thank you for buying it so I don’t have to!
i never had a mini environment style polly pocket as a kid in the 2000s, but they did make mini environment littlest pet shop toys that i loved
I remenber a toy line from poly pocket where they had exchangable rubber clothings, and the dolls were a tad smaller than that one you have, and alot more movable.
My sister still has the dolls stashed away in a box like a treasure and sometimes she takes them out so we can reminisce on them XD
I also still have the original poly pockets with their small houses. I dont have many, but i still have them, even the oens made with the disney princesses.
The reason shes so big is bc in the series٫ she is a normal human being but that neclace that she came with is acctualy her grandma's locket and when she says a specepic word(s) that I forgot what it was- she turns tiny. so the small ones are her when shes tiny and those types of ones are when shes not using her locket to be human size. Also the characters are all from the series. hope this helps and you see it ❤🧂🦝❤
I had some kind of Polly Pocket house with secret compartments that popped up, that was fun... But more than Polly Pocket, I loved the Pound Puppy playsets! They had miniature dog characters in a mini environment 😍🐶🐶
I HAD THE POUND PUPPIES VAN! OMG someone actually knows it! XD
@@timbobshe I had forgotten it, but this video triggered the memory 🥹 My brother had the Pound Puppy Van! (I had a mini gym / olympics playset: the dogs could ski down a hill or do high-jump ⛷)
@ omg no way! hahaha sounds ace! Ah nostalgia :D
So there is a polly pocket show now the necklace makes her into the mini version you know and love lol... those are just the closest they have interactive houses for the big and small dolls too
i had tons as a kid, i loved them, still have a few i think, as childhood keepsakes, my favourite was a ice palace, the dolls would 'skate around' if you toggled a switch.
Love ❤️ how you shout out other creators and show them nothing but positivity ❤ we all should support others like that...
I had a few polly pocket sets, and one was a jungle zip line themed one, where each character you got could ACTUALLY zip line down the whole thing, there were a bunch of other cool things, but the coolest was that the polly pockets hair changed colour with hot/cold water!
For the calendar, 20th was the pink present box. I loved my Polly Pocket that I had when I was a kid, at 90's. If i remember right, I might have two, or maybe the other one was my little sisters :D
I'm surprised that Polly pocket is going larger size, meanwhile Barbie has miniature figurines now. I have 4 mini Barbies for my own custom projects and those are taller than Polly pocket used to be, but the idea is same. They also have mini boat, car or house to choose from and mini versions of the color reveal and the plushy costume versions that come with tiny tiny animal with it. I got the unicorn, where the head of the costume also comes off! I love miniature stuff.
The only Polly Pocket themed toy I had growing up with was a Polly Pocket Locket necklace that used to belong to my sister & a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy when I was a kid, that’s what I had growing up with 🥰🥰🥰
I remember the early 2000’s Polly pocket dolls, the rubber clothes were so fun ngl
My daughter was born in 1987, put her at the age when they were really popular, I remember buying the tiny poly pockets for her whenever we went out shopping. Love ❤❤ you and your channel Jackie

When I grew up we never hat the tiny og lockets it was always the small dolls with rubber clothing. They did have a line with magnetic clothing and a full play set series, my friends and I had different segments of that one and when we met we would always put them together and play on the different parts ( it was star themed so there was a stage, a villa, a salon and such and they had fun moving mechanics)
Im from Brazil and my whole childhood had been with big polly pockets in rubber clothes. In the 2005 the try to make a magnetic version but was a disaster. Just now that they are bringing back the classic version that I discovery why they are call pocket. never knew
Polly Pockets came out when I was a preteen/teen. They were really, really, really small and came in an environment that fit in the palm of your hand. I like the ones from back in the day rather than what they sell now.
Me and my sister were obsessed with polly pockets we had a 50 gallon container full of them and we would cover out entire bedroom floor and create and entire town of our own and everytime we had enough to make the town different every time we played with them.
I absolutely LOVED Polly pockets when I was a smol grain!!!!! I remember I had this like rollercoaster and you could connect your little tiny Polly pockets(they were so tiny honestly surprised they made them because of the choking hazard but back then people didn't care as much lol) to it and they would ride around it and then it also had like other amusement park stuff and I would play with that for HOURS and HOURS. I also had Barbies(my grandpa used to go to the dump and one time found like this prototype tent and I would make them go camping) and then I also LOVED littlest pet shops(I think I still have a ladybug one maybe?) and also those like hamster ones and I had a like track they would race around and I also had a DS game with them!
I had 90s early 2000s polly pockets they are much smaller and i think are what sparked my interest in mini things i was still a kid when they switched to the big pollys like the one in the mystery box they are iconic for their chewy clothes 😂
Oh Jackie, this is exactly what this generations polly pocket is nowdays. The advent calendar is cool. The gems should open that pink box, stick the pokey part into the slot and it should open.
Unfortunately, your lack of polly knowledge has made this video incredibly salty.
I appreciate your opinion, I am a very big fan. I consult your channel before I buy my kids ANYTHING.
But, I think you treated this one a little too harsh. My opinion.
Anyway, thanks for being you and opening this! My daughter will love it.
I had some Polly Pockets in the 90s. They were small enough to be necklace pendants, or could fit in pockets. (When we had pockets, *sob*.) The dolls were TINY, and same with their pets. They're bigger these days than they used to be. But I'd love to get the advent calendar. There are so many advent calendars I'd love to get, like Little Pet Shop and Hot Wheels, omg.
I feel like my polly pockets in the 2000s were slightly smaller than this size. My sister and I had a lot of the play sets, some of my favorites were a water park with glittery dolphins, a purple poodle, some cars, and a horse trailer. Some of mine had combable hair and some (probably the ones with pools) had plastic hair. I feel like the faces were a lot different than the ones you opened today.
Disney had similar dolls too so I had some princess polly pockets too, kept the disney stuff together in the traveling case so idk if they were the same size
I remember thinking it was weird that the McDonalds Polly Pockets had hard plastic snap on clothes, still cute though
I have my Polly collection ! all back from the 1988 ❤❤ it's my baby and is worth so much in my eyes ! my daughter plays with them still and we love them !!!!
I wish I still had my original Polly Pockets from the early 90s… I got the 40th anniversary one from my local Mattel store earlier this year…. I actually want the advent calendar… I have the Monster High and Friends Polly Pockets. I want to find The Addams Family one. I have a couple other little Polly Pockets. And I have the strawberry milk one you opened.
When I was little I used to shove my polly pockets in the bathroom and all of the nooks and crannies. I had the snowy house that had a heater and a snowboard/skiing/sledding part.
I used to collect polly pockets when I was younger had loads of sets and had a polly pocket village 😊
Never had Polly pocket. My sisters and I had Barbie or faux Barbie’s. No dolls ever stood on their own
These are styled after the early 2000’s Polly pockets. They were the same size with the rubbery cloths. These are very cute and reminiscent of the ones I had as a little grain.
I was a little too young for the classic polly pocket but I did have one! my older cousin had so much and I loved getting to see them all! When I got older I had the late 90's early 2000s ones but quickly swapped over to the lil bratz dolls
Jackie it's so cute watching you discover Polly's clothes are rubber! I've been a long time fan and I had a few coats of Polly's that I liked to chew on back in the day 🤤
Ok look lol...I had the OG Polly Pockets, the ones in the small compacts..all of that. I still have them. But, they were basically just as "interactive" as this, and tbh...this is even more so than those were! You basically got a tiny doll, sometimes a friend or a pet, and then she just could walk around in the compact environment. That's it...
But did I love that as a kid...hells yes I did! So yeah, this is for kids..they will enjoy and will enjoy collecting them all!
Bluebird toys were under 1". when Mattel bought the company increased the size to 3". I feel Mattel lost the point of polly pocket and worlds fitting into a child's pocket.
I have the distinct memory of four little glittery jeeps for polly pocket with rolling wheels that I would just TORMENT our kitchen with. I also that I had some glittery Disney princess dresses for them. I only remember that, because the glitter was the only outfits I wouldn't chew on XD
i had some polly pocket toys, the bigger ones, as a kid, even the expandable car thing. I remember watchnig the movie at Christmas along with Transformers Energon episodes. I still have my dolls and loved paying with them. a "friend" (not anymore, classic bff backstab, don't ask) traded me some dolls and one of them kept falling apart in the hip pelvic area no idea why. the clothes were always rubber and can break if you tug on thin straps too much.
When I was little I used to collect these with my tooth fairy money and always asked for them for Christmas and my birthday. And I still have them!!
What I remember thé most about PollyPocket : are my 2 daughters singing " pololololy Polly we like to have some fun" is was a Little box and polly sang . My daughters sang this on and off for giggles for a few yearsssss ! Glad I have two grandsons now lolll
I did enjoy buying all these fun girlie toys . Thé clothes were also made of rubber 20 years ago ;)
Bisous ma belle merci pour tes vidéos, ça m'amuse !
My oldest daughter, 38, had all of the original Polly Pockets. After a year or so, they came out with a larger edition called Lucy Locket. I think one of the issues people have with the Polly Pocket smaller size is how tiny and easy to lose all the parts are.... The larger ones remind me of Barbie's younger sister, Skipper, in size. None of the Barbie universe can stand on their own without a stand... They are still cute, and as long as you have an imagination, they are interactive? The advent calendar makes a cute environment that you can move around how you want to. The bigger dolls do come with lots of outfits! 👍 How do the astronaut dress and helmet look together?
The clothes for that size Polly pockets have always been rubber! But I am sure someone has already mentioned that!
It's a POCKET sized doll!!!
I had some with real hair and some with magnetic clothes I wish I still some of my og's
161 USD is insane. It converts to almost 3000 rand in my country. The toy just looks like a happy meal toy
I collect the little Pollys! I just ordered the advent calendar yesterday for $16 I've been eyeing it for years. I'm not a fan of the bigger pollys (i think those are pollyville?) But I believe shes got 3 sizes now
I would have loved these as a kid (the originals were around back then but I never had any). The big set with the car is cool.
Glad to know they still make the Polly's with the rubber clothes because those were the best tasting snack as a kid!
OMG I MUST GET THEM THEY ARE BACK AAAH i used to collect those exact type of polly pocket! But they got discounted in my country and never saw them again THEY EXIST AGAIN IM SO HAPPY I need to go get them so i get more clothes to my current ones omg x3 (im 21 and my 12 self is so happy rn)
I think they changed the size of Polly Pocket to be bigger instead of itty bitty so the girls could change the clothes cuz the tiny ones you couldn't change the clothes. I mean making them a bit bigger then they were able to create clothes for them, so now you can dress them how you want
In the 90s I first got a Polly pocket set that was heart shaped and actually fit in a pocket. A year or two later I got a Polly Pocket, but this one was a house and there was no way it was going to fit in any pocket. I liked the pocket one because it was easy to bring to a friend's house whether you were supposed to or not. I'm sure that more than a couple made it to schools that way too. Those dolls couldn't be dressed and were just hard plastic. I even got a pair of sneakers that had little Polly Pockets in these plastic bubbles on the outside of each shoe. I remember not being allowed to cut the dolls out until the shoes were unwearable, it was the longest wait ever in my child mind. I heard a rumor that they started to make the dolls bigger because they were a choking hazard.
Polly Pocket now in 2024,has its own tv show,also the necklace Polly Pocket wears gives her the ability to turn big or small. Love your videos!
I grew up in the 90s and the Polly Pocket toys I had were the miniature, pocket size ones, like in the advent calendar. They were not interactive though. I think I had three. Each one was a different environment, where you would just sit/stand the Polly character in different rooms. The whole point was to play pretend. I had a school (which was my favourite), a circus and a generic house. I did have different ethnicity characters too!
You have to buy the vintages one, that's are worth it!! I have a collection of my own, and it makes me so happy to see them in display!
As an eighties born, raised nineties kid , my heart sank and broke seeing this Polly monstrosity 😩😱
Jackie, in the 90s the did a "Mighty Max" (the boy version of Polly) for TMNT. I had one of those...still do. And for the 2012 series they also made playsets like these. They are called Micro Mutants.
Thank you for all your hard work,Jackie=) And thank you , grains, who commented about Polly Pocket more=) It was so interesting to read=3 Wishing you all a lovely weekend=3
My memory of polly pocket was my childhood best friend being absolutely obsessed with polly pocket and not letting me touch any of her polly pocket toys
Thank you for being awesome!!!!
i think the heart ring on the disco one is for the doll with the hoodie, so they can hang on bags and stuff
i wish they'd also bring back mighty max :(
Polly Pocket was one of the only toy sets I loved playing with. I had two compacts (got them for my birthday) and I had one pretty large playset. I was so careful with the sets that they lasted for a very long time. I think they are still in my collection of toys (dolls, barbies and other toy sets), but where they are, I have no idea. I also played the online Polly Pocket games.
I immediately clicked when I got the notification!! Gosh I just love your vibe Jackeh❤!! Why did the pants coming off made me laugh so hard tho 😂😂 RiP the og pollies
Omg childhood memories with polly pocket! I used to watch the Polly pocket shows growing up when I was a small grain, 5:18 is Polly from the 2018 cartoon series I believe, not Polly in her miniature size, the choking hazard ones that are childhood memories are the best 😭🫶
I love this product, its so nostalgic for me! I was absolutely a rubber clothes chewer lol! I just wish Jackie would have taken a bit of time prior to the unboxing to see that this is a variety of Polly Pockets. I thought it was a bit unfair to compare it to the original miniatures when it’s clearly not meant to be comparable to those. I totally agree that the environments could be a bit more interactive/ different!
My sisters had a bunch of the rubber doll clothes when I was little! And my favorite thing as a little grain was chewing on those rubber clothes! Such a good texture XD lmao
It is at these times that I am super grateful to you because you spend your money so I don't have to. THANK YOU! 💕
7:18 so this size of doll for polly pocket started in 2001 to today. And I find that I prefer the 2001 to 2006 style more than the current dolls because they had smaller heads, and were not as top heavy. The rubber clothes are also a thing that they have had around ever since 2001, they did at one point try cloth as well so sometimes you can find cloth, Polly pocket clothes out there, but they kind of threw that idea out and just went back to rubber, I believe because of the cost of making cloth clothes for a small doll
My kids were born in the late 80s early 90s....annnnd....they had Polly Pockets that were tiny...and the bigger ones, too. The clothes appear to be made a bit better now than they were when my kids were stretching them on and off their Pollys.
The disco box the arch is the 'entry' to the disco, not a 'photo op' LOL
My granddaughter's b'day is the 8th (of July) and on Day 8 you got the candy canes and peppermint (they go on the little pegs on some of the other pieces)
Day 13 (for my birthday in April) you got what you said was a cookie...I think you were right about it being a pinata. LOL
The gems (like the candy) go on the pegs...and (if I'm not mistaken they are numbered)
My favourite thing about having polly pocket as a kid was the rubber clothes. They were so good to chew on
Thank You for your honest reviews.
So enjoyable and relaxing video.
The main memory I have of Polly Pocket is when my younger sister stuck a Polly Pocket shoe in her ear and had to go to the emergency room to get it out. She was really little at the time, but it still comes up from time to time.
I remember I had a Polly Pocket race track for my 8th birthday. It was the first birthday after moving to my current house and man that thing was huge! It was a pain to put together according to my dad. I had all of it in a huge tub under my bed but sadly we had to get rid of it as it was breaking. I wish I could play with it again some day.
Day of birth: 13 Item: Cookie (?)
I'm from 1999 and I grew up with these rubber clothes, there was a time when they made clothes with magnets but, at least in my country, they were banned because children swallowed them
In the 2000s I had a TON of the big polls pockets and the tiny ones as well. I use to chew on the rubber outfits... I remember chewing on a purple? Or pink dress and ended up ripping part of the dress off 😂
