Honestly at old Polly Pocket scale any kind of work is nightmarishly difficult! The entire doll is maybe the size of your thumbnail! That the arm looks very similar to the originals in that scale is itself testament to your ability as a sculptor and painter. E: and if it helps, most Polly pocket customs/restorations I know just use stamps for the faces because they're so terribly small (which is probably what was done in the first place tbh)!
Thank you so much for your message! It makes me feel better to read I'm not the only one ☺️☺️ I will look into stamps, it sounds like a good idea for many toy lines!
oh my goodness. I HAD this Polly Pocket as a kid! I completely forgot about it until you opened the little gate to the barn. It's like you unlocked a secret memory in my brain!
Top tip for painting miniatures. Buy the finest brush size you can, then cut away the bristle to make it finer. My husband paints war gaming minis and this is what he uses for fine details. 😊
omg polly from the 90s is so tiny?? i remember playing with my older sisters rubbery chewy 2000s polly pocket toys as a kid & they were like 4x the size of these lol! shes like the size of a pinky nail haha. u did a great job w this one!!
in the 2000s there were some 'mini' pollies around the size of the 90s ones - i had a set of little cars with tiny pollies in rainbow colors! and i feel like modern-day pollies (i honestly had no idea until recently that they still made polly pockets) are even bigger than the rubbery ones - though i may just be misremembering since it's been almost 20 years.
The tiny ones we had in the 90s were deemed choking hazards, so they changed them to the bigger rubbery ones. In the 90s they came in these little make-up compact size and really did fit in your pocket!
I think you did a great job. I would love to see more Polly Pocket videos in the future. The UV lamp did wonderfully on the plastic, and Polly and the Unicorn came out great. Smart decision using plastic from your container as the mount. Polly’s hand looks like it was never broken.
Definitely check out nail art tools for super small painting or even dotting tools! All the plastic restoration reminds me of the tons of vintage computer restorations I’ve seen, it’s such an amazing difference just from some cream!
I love seeing you branch out and try more things, and watching how you adapt your pony-restoring skills to other projects! most of all I like it when you enjoy a project (and when your cat joins in with the occasional meow -- hello cat!) :] keep doing what makes you happy!
Oh my god!!! This one is soooo cute, I can't 🥺 You did a marvelous job, honey! It looks absolutely AWESOME, and honestly I think it may even be better than an original, cuz it was restored with love and care! Also don't worry, your sculpting is on point. Keep up the incredible work! 🩷
I had exactly this Polly Pocket growing up, so watching one get restored was very fun. And yeah the left arm was much higher than what you repaired it to, it was meant to be able to pet the horse without a lot of angling I think. As for tiny details, I remember when I did some miniatures painting for D&D my friend who had done it for years had modified an old detail brush of hers to have like five bristles for the super tiny detailing like eyes and chains, and it worked really well! We called it the One Brush because it felt like it had just one strand left once you got some paint on it. That and toothpicks were what we used for details, depending on if we needed lines or dots. Hope that helps you with any future Pollys!
I loved playing with my tiny Polly Pocket in the 90s. It was so clacky and it fit perfectly into all the little spots in the mini house. So cute and satisfying 😊
the peroxide was genius really. since it's all one color solid plastic, you can use all kinds of chemicals and it'll be fine. you restored something very iconic
Love seeing this! I still have my entire Polly pocket collection that are like these sets. I have all of the pieces and it’s in surprisingly good condition. I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of them and am glad I kept them! These were my favorite toys growing up. I have two different mansions, two prince/princess sets that light up, a school, a water park, so many little sets, necklace sets, etc.
so teeny tiny!! this was lovely to watch. the polly pockets i had as a kid were the bigger ones with the rubbery clothes. there really is something about these very little dolls that i love though!
I had this set as a kid - I actually remember pestering my parents to buy it. Forgot about the articulation of Polly and how you had to "stick" her feet into those round grooves in the place or forever lose her. Well done, I'd love to see more Polly Pockets restored, however it is making me feel so old now!!
I had completely forgotten about Polly Pocket- my friend owned that one, I remember playing with it as a kid! Almost a bit sad now that I didn't keep any of the old toys- some of those Polly Pocket designs were so adorable!
I loved these when I was little! They were so small and cute, and all the figures fit inside the case. They were THE toy to have have in my friend group.
Oh my god… I had this Polly pocket! I didn’t have any unicorns to play with it, I just liked the sound the little house made when it closed. I’d open and close it over and over again.
Wow thank you for posting this. My cars interior has light blue plastics that are yellowed just like this, and now I know how to make it blue again! Maybe I can hold up a UV nail lamp up to the plastics to mimic the UV chamber
seeing that compact open up and show the little scene inside was so nostalgic for me!! I had a polly pocket toy that opened like that back when I was a kid and i didn’t remember it until now :) wonderful job with this one! this was really fun to see
My thoughts when you were painting the arm: "How is she going to paint something so small?!" Her moving into the face: "If you have any tips for painting small things let me know" I can't believe you were able to paint that face at all. Or anything else on that doll. Super impressive. Windowsills are about as small and detailed as I can paint.
I love this! I saw a tutorial once where the person pulled out 1 or 2 bristles from their paint brush (just to make them longer) then used those long ones to paint TEENY tiny details.
Oh my God, I had this one as a kid, it wasn't until you opened it that it came back to me. I still remember the texture of the little roof inside, and the waterfall/pond.
The size of the Polly figure made me feel really weird - i remember playing with them as a kid and in my memory they were three times the size, aha 😂 Delightful video and voiceover, i love your ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy rewatching the bits you enjoyed :D
Turned out very cute, it is nice to see the yellowing on a polly pocket vanish so well! I grew up with several but no longer remember which ones without seeing them. They were always a little fun to play with but things were sooo easy to drop and lose. When the larger kind came out and had those stretchy clothes I loved 'em and didn't lose things so easily.
This looks great! Since you asked for a tip in painting very small details, I use a magnifying glass with a stand and it really helps (I use one that is meant for soldering). Another thing is resting your hand on a flat surface (like the desk) so that you can control the movement a bit easier and putting the thing you are painting on a stand to keep it still. Another option is using ultrafine pen nibs or a needle to paint instead of a brush (dabbing on little dots of paint). But you did well, the doll is very small!
Polly Pockets are some of my favorite childhood toys, specifically this era with the compact playsets, so seeing you restore one is extra exciting for me! I think you did a very nice job, I will always be astonished seeing how amazingly well the peroxide and UV light removes yellowing from old plastic, the compact looks brand new! The work you did on the figures is great, too, they turned out looking very cute 🥰
I absolutely adore these teeny tiny lil mini toys like these, they are soo cute. I'd love to see more of this kind of restoration, or of any toy, actually! They're fun to watch, no matter what the toy itself is, though I do have a preference for the vintage and older ones
WOWIE ZOWIE! I love it! I do own a few modern Polly Pockets, and I remember hearing about retro ones in recalled toy videos, but they still give me enjoyment to see like the modern ones nonetheless. Great work, as always!
Oh wow, I had this exact same one as a kid 😭. I still think it was one of the best toys ever invented and may have started my obsession with small, tiny, toys.
found this exact set at a carboot when i was 7, and i still have it! complete with the unicorn and polly mercifully. you did a fantastic job making new ones though!
I love this video! I love how you stay YOU! I love how you are willing to try new things and I love your honesty about it!! THANK YOU!!! I sincerely think you did an amazing job!
I barely saw Polly Pocket sets in person in the 90s but I was dimly aware of them through tv adverts. The unicorn is similar in colour scheme to my OC, which is a bonus. :D
Never heard of these things but the concept is something I wish was more common bc a house you can put in your pocket sounds like a kids dream to fight of boredom
I squawked when I got the notification that you did a polly restore! I absolutely love this compact! I had it as a kid and was so much fun to play with :) you did an awesome job giving it new life :)
me muerooo 🥺 desde chiquita estoy obsesionada con estos compactos, para cuando fui nena ya ni estaban en el mercado, una sola vez vi uno viejo de algún familiar y quedé hipnotizada para siempre 😂
I’d love for you to continue to restore any toys or figurines that you personally enjoy!! The way you film/edit, and your commentary always make these videos an absolute joy to watch!
I (or my sister or best friend, I can't remember) had a Polly Pocket TOWN where Polly was magnetic and you could move her around and she even got in her bed with the covers pulled up. It was incredible and I'd love to find that toy again
This video reminded me that my first and favorite Polly broke at her one point of articulation. My kid fix for it was gluing her back together using black puff paint.
GOD I COULD NEVER DO DETAILS THAT TINY 😭 I think you did really really well! It's such a cute compact and even if it's not all original since it's restored/customized now who cares right? The whole point of it is to be enjoyed and played with again and now it's perfectly ready for that! Fantastic work ☺️ Would love to see more!
This entire video was a joy to watch start to finish! So much loving work went into this, and it’s absolutely beautiful! You did an incredible job! 💖💖💖👏👏👏🎉🎊
Adorable video and great result in the end! As for working on tiny things (sculpting, painting etc) I can't do without my magnifying visors. They have interchangeable lenses often so you can adjust them for what you are working on but the focal length is rather short so using them while on camera might be challenging. They are definitely and eye (and mind) saver though! :D Keep up the good work!
This randomly shown up in my yt feed, it was really fun! Would love to see more c: I also never had any of these older polly pockets, i had the pollys with bigger bodies and the gummy plastic clothing (specifically had the orange plane), i dont have the best memories of them unfortunstely due to the big lead paint recall in that generation of polly pockets (my sister and I ended up with basically none left after that recall and anything we found past that period we were terrified to touch) but it was delightful seeing how adorable the originals were.
A Mollymauk figure?? :O Omg, I can't wait to see that! Also, considering the "painting tiny things": I use a needle (like a sewing needle) and, if needed, a standing magnifying glass that you can look through while working with both hands!
I didn't know the discolored case was something we could fix?! This might make collecting PP easier 🙈 i thought you would have to repaint the entire compact hahaha, such a helpful video! & you did great on Polly & the unicorn! ✨✨
great work once again! i love polly pockets, i never had any real ones as a kid (i had some off-brand ones with animals) but the real deal is cool! and yeah, hydrogen peroxide is no joke. it works like magic but it's kind of dangerous - i use it to clean up ponies but i also use the liquid form to clean animal skulls! once i made the mistake of not putting gloves on, got splashed and it burns so bad! and now i have a bleached stain on my black jeans from it because in the panic i wiped my hand on my pants, lol :D
Thank you so much ☺️☺️ Yeah, the peroxide is really dangerous and I don't think I mention that enough in the videos. I once dropped some on my arm and didn't realise, and it burnt so much. It's no joke. I actually never thought about the clothes, tho! Now I know I have to be careful!
Everything looks so great, I think you did an amazing job with this restoration!! :) I use a desktop magnifying lens when I'm painting minis since they're so small and fiddly, I've found it really helps with teeny details and reducing eye strain!
Oh, I used to have this one QvQ this is so well restored! I think the only thing you can do for tiny facial features is a waterslide face! Design yourself, print on waterslide paper and set onto the tiny face 🎉❤
I would love to see more Polly Pocket videos! I totally got what you were saying about using the metallic paint, I've used it to customize dolls and it's soo satisfying.
Scream Queen 👑 I used to collect these growing 💗 up. Something fun is (since I started collecting Funkos (and I like Retro toys) They had a collection of All kinds of Retro Toys. My Polly Pockets not in a compact of course, cause she's about a 5 inch Funko. But I do like that she's that cool size.... Plus I do have a Polly Pocket Clamshell Funko, that has a. Cute 😊 smiley face, and is holding the lil Polly Pocket dolly in his hand 👏 (So that I thought was cute 😻)

I still can't get used to anything 90's being called 'vintage' 💀
Yeah, same here to be honest! But I think it's... 25 years? Or 30 years? So it will only get worse for us lol 😂
Right?!?!
And that now the early 2000s are retro
Same!! Pre-80s is vintage to me and I feel old when my childhood is "vintage" :(
It’s true sadly 😭

I'm not sure if Polly Pocket uses it, but a lot of prints use a type of sponge to apply ink to faces, real interesting stuff.

Those tiny Polly Pockets were my favorites growing up! I was so disappointed when they got bigger
The tiny ones we had in the 90s were deemed choking hazards, so they changed them to the bigger rubbery ones. In the 90s they came in these little make-up compact size and really did fit in your pocket!

Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh I owned this one!
Oh my god!!! This one is soooo cute, I can't 🥺

Oh my gosh, I remember having one of these as a kid! I don't know which one it was, but this is so nostalgic.
I hope it's good nostalgic! ☺️☺️
I use empty water bottles with museum putty on the lid to hold my miniatures while I paint. It really helps! And watered down paint is magic
I had this Polly Pocket when I was growing up! This was so cool to see it being restored! 💕🥰💕
Last year my mom and I deep cleaned some stuff in storage and inside a plastic bin were all my 90s polly pocket compacts. I almost screamed.
The size of the Polly figure made me feel really weird - i remember playing with them as a kid and in my memory they were three times the size, aha 😂 Delightful video and voiceover, i love your ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy rewatching the bits you enjoyed :D

@RetroGeekCrafts No problem! Always happy to send support!
First time watching your video, and you did fantastic! You're so real and authentic with your explanations.
I used to have this one exact Poly Pocket when I was little, I loved it so much and I used to take it around with me everywhere!
I love that the toy isn’t going to be becoming garbage. You also so creative
really good video, i loved it!
Oh wow, I had this exact same one as a kid 😭. I still think it was one of the best toys ever invented and may have started my obsession with small, tiny, toys.

I barely saw Polly Pocket sets in person in the 90s but I was dimly aware of them through tv adverts.
The unicorn is similar in colour scheme to my OC, which is a bonus. :D
Never heard of these things but the concept is something I wish was more common bc a house you can put in your pocket sounds like a kids dream to fight of boredom
I'm having a chill Saturday evening and I LITERALLY was just thinking wow I wish retro geek would post a new video. Yay!
SO CUTE!!! loved the video and the continued horsey theme 🥰
I loved my polly pocket when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure I still have it somewhere in my moms attic. I really want to look for it now
I love vintage Polly Pocket! Looking forward to more in this series!
Thank you ☺️☺️
My childhood! You did a great job for your first one! I’m sure others had said this but I would love to see more Polly Pocket restorations😊
I squawked when I got the notification that you did a polly restore! I absolutely love this compact! I had it as a kid and was so much fun to play with :) you did an awesome job giving it new life :)
Haha thank you so much ☺️☺️
me muerooo 🥺 desde chiquita estoy obsesionada con estos compactos, para cuando fui nena ya ni estaban en el mercado, una sola vez vi uno viejo de algún familiar y quedé hipnotizada para siempre 😂
1995...yep.
I believe this is one of two Polly pockets I had and they meant a lot to me because I wish I could live.
I’d love for you to continue to restore any toys or figurines that you personally enjoy!! The way you film/edit, and your commentary always make these videos an absolute joy to watch!
I (or my sister or best friend, I can't remember) had a Polly Pocket TOWN where Polly was magnetic and you could move her around and she even got in her bed with the covers pulled up. It was incredible and I'd love to find that toy again
Molotow liquid chrome is my favorite thing ever!! 😍
This video reminded me that my first and favorite Polly broke at her one point of articulation. My kid fix for it was gluing her back together using black puff paint.
Vintage yet younger than me.. Anyhow, always enjoyed these compacter versions of Polly Pocket
I used to love playing with Polly Pockets. I didn't know there were any in the 90s. I thought these came out in the early 2000s
the change with the hydrogen peroxide and uv is always so wild to see
Wow you did a great job! I don’t know if I could ever paint something so tiny haha
The breadth of the different toys you customize and restore is awesome!
GOD I COULD NEVER DO DETAILS THAT TINY 😭 I think you did really really well! It's such a cute compact and even if it's not all original since it's restored/customized now who cares right? The whole point of it is to be enjoyed and played with again and now it's perfectly ready for that! Fantastic work ☺️ Would love to see more!
Oh this brought back so many memories! I miss the teeny weeny Polly pockets. You did such a good job, it was very enjoyable to watch 🥰
Yes!!! PLEEEEEASE do more vintage Polly Pockets! 😍😍
I had this one when I was younger! All the memories 🥰🥰🥰
The junk I played with as a kid is vintage now? Gosh, I feel so old!
Love this! Also, when I have to paint very tiny things, I often paint with needles in case that helps you!
I think you did a nice job! I’d love to see you do other toys like this outside of ponies! ❤
AAHH I REMEMBER PLAYING WITH THIS EXACT SET AT MY GRANDMAS HOUSE AS A KID THE NOSTALGIA!
loved Polly pocket growing up and Mighty Max :D
Awesome ☺️😎
Beautiful work!! I really enjoyed this restoration
I am astonished at the compact result.
Thank you :) :)
This entire video was a joy to watch start to finish! So much loving work went into this, and it’s absolutely beautiful! You did an incredible job! 💖💖💖👏👏👏🎉🎊
This was such a good video! I loved how much the lilac came back
I love that you started with this one! It was my only Polly Pocket set, I wish it’s still somewhere in a box at my parent’s house ❤
Thank you ☺️☺️ You had a really nice one!!

it came out so cute!!! can't believe how well you brought that case back to life
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
I never had (or even seen) a Polly Pocket!
It's a cool vid though - I like seeing you work on various types of toys, not only ponies!
Yes please create more content like this I’ve never watched the channel and would love to see more ❤
A Mollymauk figure?? :O Omg, I can't wait to see that!
Also, considering the "painting tiny things": I use a needle (like a sewing needle) and, if needed, a standing magnifying glass that you can look through while working with both hands!

great work once again! i love polly pockets, i never had any real ones as a kid (i had some off-brand ones with animals) but the real deal is cool! and yeah, hydrogen peroxide is no joke. it works like magic but it's kind of dangerous - i use it to clean up ponies but i also use the liquid form to clean animal skulls! once i made the mistake of not putting gloves on, got splashed and it burns so bad! and now i have a bleached stain on my black jeans from it because in the panic i wiped my hand on my pants, lol :D
Thank you so much ☺️☺️ Yeah, the peroxide is really dangerous and I don't think I mention that enough in the videos. I once dropped some on my arm and didn't realise, and it burnt so much. It's no joke. I actually never thought about the clothes, tho! Now I know I have to be careful!
oh, you are a delight! :D thank you for giving life to these lovely things.
as a toy collector i absolutley love your videos!! i cant wait to see more restorations :)
I looooved Polly Pocket as a kid…I don’t remember them being so loose at the part that bends, this one has probably been through a lot 😅
Everything looks so great, I think you did an amazing job with this restoration!! :)
I use a desktop magnifying lens when I'm painting minis since they're so small and fiddly, I've found it really helps with teeny details and reducing eye strain!
I love this a lot!! Please keep exploring other toys, its so nice to watch :')
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
Oh, I used to have this one QvQ this is so well restored! I think the only thing you can do for tiny facial features is a waterslide face! Design yourself, print on waterslide paper and set onto the tiny face 🎉❤
I would love to see more Polly Pocket videos! I totally got what you were saying about using the metallic paint, I've used it to customize dolls and it's soo satisfying.
Scream Queen 👑 I used to collect these growing 💗 up. Something fun is (since I started collecting Funkos (and I like Retro toys) They had a collection of All kinds of Retro Toys. My Polly Pockets not in a compact of course, cause she's about a 5 inch Funko. But I do like that she's that cool size.... Plus I do have a Polly Pocket Clamshell Funko, that has a. Cute 😊 smiley face, and is holding the lil Polly Pocket dolly in his hand 👏 (So that I thought was cute 😻)
Everyday you upload is free serotonin and joy!! I LOVE your videos!
Hahaha loved this!! Thank you so much ☺️☺️
I love Poly Pocket! They are very, very small though. If you liked doing the small details then do make more, you'll get better at it as you go!
They are!! Thank you so much for your encouragement ☺️☺️
