  • The doll that literally fits in your pocket. How did this toy go from being in a makeup compact, to being a normal doll, to reverting back to its original form? How many versions of Polly Pocket are there?

    Polly was one of the gems of my childhood! I'm a 2000s baby, so I grew up with the generation of Polly being average-sized, not compact, so when I found out how tiny they're supposed to be, I was shooketh. I think I still have the dolls with the magnetized clothing!

    As a kid I was so into the concept of the 2010 cartoon versions of the characters having their hair color magically change whenever it got wet or when it was cold. Water usually gave them a bright color while cold was pastels. I was so jealous

    I grew up with Polly Pocket being bigger, with the rubber clothes. I had loved the small car that could turn into a limo with a jacuzzi in the back. I had only found out about Polly Pocket's orignal look after I had grown up and reached high school. I honestly would have loved the original compact version. The new ones don't seem small enough.

    I never really had much exposure to Poly Pocket as a kid, but I did have Toys from it's boy directed counterpart, Mighty Max. Pretty sure I still have a couple playsets from that somewhere, including one which was like a skull that opened up into an evil castle.

    In Denmark it wasn't until Polly entered her large plastic toy with rubber clothes era in the early 2000's that she arrived and was commercially available. Some small older sets could be bought, but they were from specialty stores. As a result, Polly primarely exists in Danish minds a non-pocket-sized toy. Unless you bothered studyingher history and suddnely her name made sense again.
    She stopped being a big seller when she hit her magnet clothes era (not the magnet furniture and walls era, still went strong during that)
    Me and my sister were crasy about her, and we still have our toys. Only ever lost like 3 rubber clothes items (1 bathing suit torn, 2 shoes squeezed so much together they fused), but I did loose the glitter and glitter glue from her house set and the clay/playfough from the mall set. But then again, stuff like that just dissappears even if you care a lot about them.
    Because my sister and I lived in a house where it was okay for both boys and girls to play with both all toys and not strictly theone matching your gender I got a good feel for the toys and had a ton of fun as a small boy. I was immensly glad that my mom let me play with girly toys simply just cus I got to explore what I liked playing with (My favoritetoy was LEGO and still is. I own a lot of mixed gendered LEGO sets)

    My only contact with Polly Pocket as a child was the 2010 website- I was obsessed with the games in there, specially one where you could decorate a building/terrace(?)
    And also a cousin had a few playsets, and I thought the little drinks they came with for the dolls that could stick on surfaces were really cool xd

    Polly Pocket was my childhood man. I started out with the bigger ones that had rubber or magnet clothes, but I also had the tiny ones. My mom still had a bunch of those old pocket sized ones they were so cool. Also Jesus those ads really hit home, I have so many fond memories of them and related to Polly Pocket in general. I didn’t know they had a show tho xD
    Also, holy shit I’m early! 😂

    Huge Polly pocket fan! Like I have 120 vintage Polly’s, books, jewelry, shirts, bags and more. I like the vintage ones because they are just so cute and the detail was amazing! They took time and care to each compact! I’m happy to say I’m glad we are getting new Polly pockets like the keepsake collection and the friends themed one.

    I'm so old I had the Polly Pocket board game. You and three other Pollys drove around in little cars going to each other's birthday parties and giving presents and collecting balloons. I'm pretty sure whoever gave out all their presents and collected all the balloons first won.
    My fav. Polly Pocket was the orange hexagon/octogon??? that was an apartment and had a pool. Runner-up was the Swan Lake heart compact with the prince. They re-released it and I got one for me and one for my mom. I still have the original heart compact but sadly my fav. orange one is lost to the ages.

    My family got a whole bunch of the compacts and older sets from a coworker at my mom's work, so we had a bunch when I was little. They got thrown out eventually, but I actively asked for more modern playsets throughout my childhood. I had the chewy plastic clothes, the magnet clothes portable playset, one of the water park vans(?) They were great.

    I got into Polly Pocket around the time the first movie was released, I remember having the roller coaster play set, and how rubbery those dresses were.
    I remembering loving the webisode series, always checking when the next one would come out. I remember after a while they kept making new iterations of them where they kept picking off her friends, until she was left with about four (not including the boy). And then the newest cartoon kept that trend by leaving her with only three.
    I’m glad to see you also thought the cutants were a good idea, I really liked them as a kid and was sad when they just stopped doing them.
    Also, have you considered checking out he website or the games? I remember those being super fun as kid, my greatest achievement was being able to complete the roller coaster game on my second try.

    I was a child in the early 2000’s and we never bought any brand new, but my mom found a huge tub of them either at a yardsale or Goodwill, and we LOVED them!
    I remember they were not the super tiny ones, they were the ones with TONS of rubber clothing. We had so many accessories too. It was a blast to just switch the clothes and make outfits. We had a stage playset to play with. Idk if that was pollypocket or something else.

    Most of the Polly Pockets I had were 2000s era hand-me-downs from my cousin that I only played with at her house. She had the car and the purse-closet sets. I eventually convinced my aunt to buy me the ski resort. It's the best play set I've ever had.

    I used to watch an episode of Polly Pocket in a Barbie movie I believe. It was cute but also wacky I guess. It was the newer one with cgi. Honestly I probably would not get into Polly Pocket due to the fact, the toys themselves are too small. I like the 12 inch dolls more like ever after high, monster high, Barbie, Moxie and Liv dolls.

But Polly was just skating away the entire time while her friends were having terrible times like getting covered in flour.

    I grew up with the first generation of Polly Pocket toys, had no idea there was animated episodes / series of them! My favourite toy was a play set that consisted of a piece of "land" that had a house, a swing and a lake on it, with the doll being magnetised and the playset having a little remote which moved the doll around being able to make her do various stuff like going to bed and alike without ever needing to lift her up with your hands. It was great and as a kid I was convinced it was some sort of magic since it was too advanced mechanics for me to grasp xD

    I was a Late 2000’s, early 2010’s Polly Pocket kid. I absolutely loved the mix and match aspect with them. Since you could shuffle heads and clothes. The shoes were the first to go missing, then, since I was an audhd with severe Pica, I loved to chew on the rubber clothes (great flavor and texture, 100% would recommend [please don’t eat plastic kids]) so they were lost, and finally I lost the bodies, so I just had a bunch of decapitated heads on my toys drawer.

    The best Polly Pocket set EVER is the 1995 huge Cinderella castle Polly Pocket set! It was insane and I played with it constantly! But other than that, I was born in '93 so I had a lot of the small compact sets. I only had one of the versions that you can dress in the plastic clothes but those were fun! Felt like a different toy entirely though.
    Kind of hoping maybe they'll do a live-action Polly Pocket movie since Barbie seems like it's going to be such a massive success!

    I really miss when Polly Pocket had a mix of being serialized and episodic at the same time with season 1 of the 2018 reboot. It's a shame on how it ended up to be a soft reboot with major changes and how it turned from 22 minute episodes into 11 minute episodes and getting rid of the villains from a cliffhanger ending.

I didn't even have the toys (I don't remember why. I guess I just wasn't into them at the time.), so I was pleasantly surprised of how much I enjoyed the new series. My 5 year old brother is ESPECIALLY fond of the show.

    Wow those original compacts look really cool! The only polly pockets I ever had were the magnetic clothes and I adored them. I had the quick change limo and I think two of the friends that came with a stand and some more clothes. I was pretty surprised the first time I learned about the silicone/rubber clothes. Just from the pictures, the original compacts are the best. Although the magnetic clothes are top notch (aside from the choking hazard and being easy to lose). I remember loving how quick I could change their outfits since that was something that always messed with "stories" whenever I played with my barbies. Plus there were magnetic hair pieces too!

  • @Sorrinslays
    @Sorrinslays ปีที่แล้ว

    To me Polly Pocket was my whole childhood. I and my sister used to have this thing where we would buy very specific toys and only those toys, for her it was My Little Pony and for me it was Polly Pocket.
    As someone who was born mid 2000s I grew up with the average-sized ones and I had so many playsets. I had 3 pools, 5-6 cars (one of them had a mini pool/jacuzzi in the back that could make bubbles if you pressed a button) and 2 houses I think. I had everything that was possible to get in my country, which, to be fair, wasn't a lot since Polly Pocket wasn't that well-known where I'm from.
    You didn't mention it in your video, but the dolls (at least the ones I grew up with) had a removable head. I and my sister used to love that feature a lot. I remember at some point we had dressed all the bodies with different clothing and popped the heads of like maniacs, keeping the 'outfits' in one box and the heads in another so that when we were playing we didn't have to go through the chore of changing the characters clothing, we just had it at the ready by popping the head back in. Another reason this was beneficial was because, after a while, the clothing, which was made from plastic, would tear and rip. I lost a lot of my favourite clothes that way.
    I also had one Polly that had a drawn on swim suit and rings on her upper arm. She was from a specific playset, a pool one. There was a feature in which she is supposed to spin (?) I'm not sure how to describe it. But anyway there were long downhill parallels that you put her upper arms in and she spins as she goes downhill. I'm pretty sure her hair colour changed too, a pink streak appeared I'm pretty sure. I remember it well because, A, it was the first playset I got when I was 6-7 after my first music exams (piano and theory) (I crushed it btw 10/10), and B, during the summer my mum would let me and my sister to go outside our house on the outside table and actually put water in the pool to play, it one of my favourite memories although they didn't happen often.
    The other pool isn't that interesting. It was themed after a tropical island or rainforest I'm pretty sure. There was this fake plastic 'vine' that went all around the pool that you could 'connect' your doll to and it would spin around until it reaches the end. And it also had a mini pool for the pets I'm pretty sure, I got it a year after the first one for the exact same reason. It was really fun to play with.
    For cars, I remember having lots of them. The first one I got was a yellow one with pink details that had a small blue pool/jacuzzi which I mentioned before. The doors opened as well and I'm pretty sure you could move the steering wheel as well. I think all of the cars also had safety belts and that car had pink ones while the seats were blue. I think I got it for my birthday? Either that or it was a pity thing during my sister's birthday because I was a jealous kid that refused to show it even though it was pretty obvious.
    The other car was a purple one with a green half-detachable roof (you could only detach the front but the back stayed in). I got it from my birthday from my godmother.
    The other ones weren't really special and I don't remember them well, probably because I wasn't attached to them like the other ones. I remember having another blue one (?) with purple stars and it was a rockstar kind of thing? I also had a small orange one with only two seats and purple stars and seatbelts. I don't remember the last one.
    For houses, I remember vividly only one because I always used it while my sister and friends used the other one. The one I remember had so many colours. It was pink, it was orange, it was green, it was blue, it was everything. It had two floors. I think you show an add of it actually (timestamp: 02:36). I used to play with it a lot. I don't remember when or why I got it though.
    I wish I could give details on the other house but my memory is really shitty, especially during my childhood ages 0-14, so I can't remember much.
    One thing that irritated me to no end, however, was that there were no guy dolls. I and my sister were forced to have the brunettes with short hair act like guys and all the blond pony-tailed ones as girls. I always wished they made guy dolls. Maybe they did and I never knew about them because I didn't have access to the internet.
    Anyway, all and all, Polly Pocket is my childhood that I will always cherish. I used to get the 'big' presents (playsets) as rewards once a year if I did well in my piano exams, so I will always have a soft spot for the Polly Pocket line. I must say though, I never was a fan of when they decided to give 'plot' to Polly with the whole shrinking down. I mostly didn't like cause it was something new and back then I was in middle school so I hated everything and I felt like they changed Polly too much since I grew up watching Polly as an adventurous sporty girl, not really a nerd.
    I didn't really except to write so much about it, I'm actually surprised I had so much to say, but yeah, guess that's what happens when you hyper-fixate on one doll line all your childhood lol. Anyway, amazing review as always! I'm really happy to see someone talking about my childhood hyper-fixation since it was never really popular from where I'm from. Sending lots of love

    I just remember watching a Polly Pocket movie at my Grandma's once. I don't remember which one, I just remember there was giant beach balls in one scene

    I had so many of the magnet clothing things. Never new they had been recalled! Me and my dad just got super glue and glued them back in when they fell out!

    To be fair, Lila and Shani were in the 2008 iteration as well, they just changed some of the traits. The inventor aspect previously had by Shani is given to Polly, and Shani is made into a sci-fi nerd. The name of the town is also changed from Pollyville to Littleton. Which makes a bit more sense. As of season 3, supernatural creatures are added. Though the Passport Adventures miniseries also had those.

    All I remember about Polly Pocket from my childhood was chewing on the squishy plastic dresses to pretend they were gum. I guess it's a good thing I didn't have any of the magnet outfits lol

    I was into Polly Pocket a lot in my Preschool-Elementary age. I think I got into it during the Ponytail Era (TM). I know I had a few of the playsets like the beach one shown in the video, an airplane, and probably others I don't remember at this point. The dolls were really cool to me and I had a lot of fun dressing them up for various imaginary scenes. If I was still into playing with them when the anime appearance change happened, I wasn't buying the products anymore so I never noticed.

    I really missed the old Polly pocket era it was iconic. I had Polly pocket since I was a child and it was nostalgic.

    one of the best birthday gifts i ever got in my life was for my 8th birthday, the morning before school i got to open one gift and it was the polly pocket limo that had a jacuzzi in the back !! absolutely set my standards for what Luxury was (its having a jacuzzi in the back of your limo). i have such memories of tupperware containers full of those rubber clothes that tore SO easily. your partner is so right the clothes were so fun to chew on, if/when one of my pieces tore i would just end up chewing on it for a while before tossing it. its v funny how many of us had the same experience lol

    i was part of the rubber/magnetic clothes generation! i even had the radio thing you showed in the video, i'm pretty sure i still have it stored somewhere. my family didn't have enough money back then to buy me all those cute little toys, but i remember that one of my mother's friends had like EVERY SET and clothes and accesories and dolls and i was so amazed to see them all and be able to play with them, it's one of my core memories!
