I'm glad they did another re-release and I hope they do more. Mine is supposed to arrive this weekend! Very interesting about the integration with new Polly sets.
Another difference I noticed was that they made the unicorn out of the same rubbery plastic as the carriage. The original horse was made from a plastic like Polly. I miss the suit of armor door, but I do like that the door opens all the way in the new one because there’s no suit of armor getting in the way.
I was a huge Polly Pocket fan when I was little. I had a couple of sets including this one. I think all my toys were sold when I moved countries and I was so sad that my family never kept the castle 😢 I want to buy a vintage castle so I can keep it on display.
i like that they're doing this but I prefer the vintage one, colour-wise and detail-wise. but I will get this because I never had the vintage one as a kid, so I am going to appreciate this new one in all it's purple glory.
Hi Kerchie, I am a new fan of your videos. I have recently found your channel and I absolutely love your Polly Pocket reviews. Thank you so much for the very helpful information! Please do release more videos of new Polly Pockets toys if you could. They would help me tremendously in my buy decisions…in any case, thank you so much again. 🙏🙏🙏You are truly fantastic! 🤗❤️
I love this remake. So cute and no too different from the original. I have and love both versions! I do wish that the new one either didn't have a timer for the lights, or that it at least lasted a little longer. Uh oh looks like you got a slightly defective one. The Heart on the right side of the door is rubbed off a little.
Just got mine. Great remake over all. Like you, I like to keep the box and let me tell you... It took grrr, 45 minutes of trying to figure out how to carefully remove the compact. Even though I've seen complete mint Starlight Castles for as low as $65. I don't like playing with the real vintage ones consistently. I think the quality differences are minor. Anyway, the original were actually played with by children so they had to be sturdy. These Keepsake repros are obviously made for adult collectors who are more careful, some never even removing from the box! Some more comments: Unlike some, I found the compact overall well made. I did find it hard to open the unicorn door so I don't click it all the way shut. I did use clear varnish on the dolls and logo so the paint won't rub off easily with play. Another interesting factoid.... While they made the prince (Casper) politically correct dark skin and I understand the thinking behind that, I noticed that in the instructions, they showed the original "white" prince version. Maybe a last minute change to make the toy more universal? Just a curious fact. It also seems that they started the repros 30 years after the first year 1989 +30= 2019. Every year they make a new Keepsake compact corresponding to +30 years or so after the original release? So maybe the next one will be a remake of the best selling compact of 1993-4? The change in battery door with screw, and the auto shut off feature is because of new regulations on kids toys so they are safer, and batteries last longer, won't corrode as fast etc.
I really really hope Poket Poket does more Keepersake models. I love them as I was a kid but I just had one. My childrem loved this and I wanted to buy them one but then I saw the new models and I dont like them. But this Keepsake collection is really cute and without thinking I bought it.
would you say this one is good quality like the old ones or a cheaper plastic? i feel like the old ones are very sturdy other than the stickers and sensitivity to the sun
honestly though I started asking for ebay cards for my birthday since polly pockets are so expensive, the pairis set was my dream and i literally still had to pay 70 dollars out of pocket when i had a 50 dollar gift card, they are so expensive and going up everyday! i literally treat my collection like its gold since my polly pocket watch is worth 300 dollars, its insane
It has gotten so much more expensive in the last year too! My dad collects trains and he said trains have gotten more expensive too. It's because more people have taken up collecting since the pando so demand is much higher now.
I was waiting for this review. I love the new Prince, but the new Polly looks horrible and she has no neck 😁. I haven't bought the new one (I hope I won't regret it), I just don't like the new colors inside and the cheap look :( I would have liked the stairs to go down like on the ballet theater set on the reboot.
I have the whole of the pink battlement on the left side missing the deeper pink detailing. So not a scuff. I'd return it but I'm worried I'll just end up with a different issue. 😅 Everything else is lovely but I have to say I too prefer the vintage (not one I have).
After watching your video, I headed straight to eBay and bought myself the vintage one! I had to pay like $70 tho… but I thought it was a good deal since it had the entire figures! Couldn’t resist 😣
Hi there! How do you find out when these keepsake ones are being released? I would LOVE to get this for my little girl but they are sold out everywhere! How can I be on top of it if they release more?
Hello!! mine arrived yesterday but guess what? princess polly has three eyes! T_T i feel a little bit dissapointed because like you said they should put more careful in details on this reboot sets but still i will keep it...
I just got the Keepsake castle & don't have the original one to compare it too (yet 🤭). The Keepsake compact feels very 'loose', the compact falls shut if i tilt it the tiniest bit forward. Is this normal? The vintage compacts I have neverrrr close if I tilt them
I was hoping the new one would be exactly the same as the vintage.Disappointed.I can tell that the new one lacks in quality and I wonder why.Anyway,I will always love the vintage compacts.
@@Kerchie thank you so much for replying. I live in Portugal and I've looked up Amazon Spain inumerous times and I haven't found it yet. Could it be an exclusive USA release?
I totally prefer the vintage one. Old Polly pockets are the best 🥰
Always ❤️
@@Kerchie cute
I love vintage version so much more. Everything from the colors to the details is better.
Of course vintage will always have my heart.
I'm glad they did another re-release and I hope they do more. Mine is supposed to arrive this weekend! Very interesting about the integration with new Polly sets.
I was surprised they fit in the new Polly sets. I saw a hole and thought...PEGS!
@@Kerchie I’d love to see you to a little repainting for the recreation of the Starlight Castle. :)
This is what we've wanted! 💗 i love that's its a bit different from the original and the box is perfect for display.
Love the different vision but I do wish it was more sturdy like the vintage one, and wish the lights stayed on.
So sweet ❤
haven’t finished watching the whole thing and loving it already! and ur nails perfectly match the colors of the compact 😍💕
Haha they do!
Another difference I noticed was that they made the unicorn out of the same rubbery plastic as the carriage. The original horse was made from a plastic like Polly. I miss the suit of armor door, but I do like that the door opens all the way in the new one because there’s no suit of armor getting in the way.
The plastic definitely feels cheaper. But I love these keepsake sets.
This must be your best one yet its because your unboxing it omg your getting better and better wooooooho for kerchie😊😊😊
I hope they keep making remakes like this, please!! ❤
Jewel Magic Ball next please! 🙏
I hope they keep coming out with more Keepsake ones! Even if it means I’ll be broke.
Same!
I had the original one! Oh I loved it so much!!!
I have the vintage one, loved it as a kid and still love it now 💕
Same 😃
Thank you so much for this great video I’ve just ordered my starlight castle on Amazon ^^. I’m so happy that they’re making a vintage re-edition ☺️
Yes yes yes! Hope they make more.
I was a huge Polly Pocket fan when I was little. I had a couple of sets including this one. I think all my toys were sold when I moved countries and I was so sad that my family never kept the castle 😢 I want to buy a vintage castle so I can keep it on display.
Wish I kept mine too 😢
Amazinggg 😍 What paint did you use to repaint your polly?
Acrylic 😊
i like that they're doing this but I prefer the vintage one, colour-wise and detail-wise. but I will get this because I never had the vintage one as a kid, so I am going to appreciate this new one in all it's purple glory.
Same! This one is still worth it just for the nostalgia.
I love both of them 😍😍😍, and i really enjoy the comparasion You did in this video, 👏👏👏😁
Glad you loved it!

Thank you! I'll release more as time allows. 🥰
@@Kerchie Thank you so much...you are fantastic inside and out and it's a joy to see you on screen! ❤🤗
Loving your videos! I'm getting confused with these 30th? Is there a list of all keepsake/30th? 💜🌈
I think there's only 4 so far. This, Mermaid Dreams, Partytime Surprise, Royal Ball Jewelry Set.
The starlight castle is so cute kerchie, have a lovely Polly day. Xoxo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘❤️ princess
❤️❤️❤️
mine arrived yesterday! is beautiful! I loved it
I love this remake. So cute and no too different from the original. I have and love both versions! I do wish that the new one either didn't have a timer for the lights, or that it at least lasted a little longer.
Uh oh looks like you got a slightly defective one. The Heart on the right side of the door is rubbed off a little.
Yup there are some scratches here and there on mine :(
@@Kerchie That really sucks. Makes me want to look more closely at mine to make sure it doesn't have any damage.
This is the one I had. We couldn't afford anymore. I had forgotten about the little door.
This is really nice. But i prefer the vintage one. :) thx.
Of course, me too 😊
Hello Kerchie ☺️ I love ❤️ your videos , of course I love 💕 Polly Pocket! Thank you 🙏
Just got mine. Great remake over all.

The change in battery door with screw, and the auto shut off feature is because of new regulations on kids toys so they are safer, and batteries last longer, won't corrode as fast etc.
I really really hope Poket Poket does more Keepersake models. I love them as I was a kid but I just had one. My childrem loved this and I wanted to buy them one but then I saw the new models and I dont like them. But this Keepsake collection is really cute and without thinking I bought it.
YAS GIRLLLLLL thanks for the comparison! Cant wait for mine to be delivered hehe
Woot!
I love those there both cute 😍
would you say this one is good quality like the old ones or a cheaper plastic? i feel like the old ones are very sturdy other than the stickers and sensitivity to the sun
The old ones are way better quality. The new ones feel a bit cheap.

It has gotten so much more expensive in the last year too! My dad collects trains and he said trains have gotten more expensive too. It's because more people have taken up collecting since the pando so demand is much higher now.
oohh the pink outer cover of your original one looks like a light pink rather than the hot pink i usually see, is it another variation?
It's probably just the lighting, but it's the hot pink.
I was waiting for this review. I love the new Prince, but the new Polly looks horrible and she has no neck 😁.
I haven't bought the new one (I hope I won't regret it), I just don't like the new colors inside and the cheap look :(
I would have liked the stairs to go down like on the ballet theater set on the reboot.
NO NECK! That's what it is. I was lost for words and you explained it. 🤣
@@Kerchie 😆
I’m 32 and I told my mom to get this for me for Christmas 😂
Haha my mother in law is always getting my husband and I toys. 🤣
You are back 😍❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I have the whole of the pink battlement on the left side missing the deeper pink detailing. So not a scuff. I'd return it but I'm worried I'll just end up with a different issue. 😅 Everything else is lovely but I have to say I too prefer the vintage (not one I have).
It's easy to repaint and yeah you risk getting a worse set 😬
After watching your video, I headed straight to eBay and bought myself the vintage one! I had to pay like $70 tho… but I thought it was a good deal since it had the entire figures! Couldn’t resist 😣
Yes! Grats!
I knew you would buy and review this recreation, Kerchie! 💜🏰✨
Was waiting impatiently for it to arrive 🤣
Thanks for this video. 😱
Which modern Polly Pocket do you like best?
I like the reboot of the vintage ones. I guess those count as modern? With the other new ones, hard to pick a fave. I guess Unicorn Pinata!
@@Kerchie I like more hidden hideouts collection. I think these are more like the vintages. 😘
Thanks for this video. 😱
Thanks for watching!
Hi there! How do you find out when these keepsake ones are being released? I would LOVE to get this for my little girl but they are sold out everywhere! How can I be on top of it if they release more?
People DM them to me. I'm actually terrible at keeping up to date with toys. Other people find out before me and just let me know. 😅
Hello!! mine arrived yesterday but guess what? princess polly has three eyes! T_T i feel a little bit dissapointed because like you said they should put more careful in details on this reboot sets but still i will keep it...
Haha I'm sorry but I'm laughing 🤣 yeah I'm not too impressed with the faces on these. ☹️
also that one uncolored heart on the right side of the castle bothers me…
Same ☹️
🥰 adorable
Omg I want it!!!
Omg hi btw I just got the unicorn piñata!
Yay!
I just got the Keepsake castle & don't have the original one to compare it too (yet 🤭). The Keepsake compact feels very 'loose', the compact falls shut if i tilt it the tiniest bit forward. Is this normal? The vintage compacts I have neverrrr close if I tilt them
The Keepsake ones can be kinda finicky. One of the Keepsake ones I got didn't even come with a silver logo! Just depends on luck ☹️
today i bought this set it was very cute but the unicorn door was a little hard to open
Some compartments on Polly sets can be hard to open 😔
How do I receive updates on new releases on the keepsake collection? I keep missing them 😭
People just tell me 😭
Do you already know about the new keepsake? one will be a bracelet and the other will be one of the mermaids 😍😍😍😍😍
How much was for both? 🤗
I don't remember but I think it'll be around $100+ USD because the other one is vintage.
Where is the battery compartment on the vintage one?
It's by the bench :)
I was hoping the new one would be exactly the same as the vintage.Disappointed.I can tell that the new one lacks in quality and I wonder why.Anyway,I will always love the vintage compacts.
Agreed 😔 the new one is good for those who want it for the nostalgia and for collectors like myself.
Old ones ar always better
💖
Merci ma douce, comme dans les commentaires en dessous, je préfère la vintage!!! d'ailleurs je ne vais pas acheter la version 2021. >_< .
Woahhhh cool❤️❤️❤️🍬♥︎✨💖🌈
How many are there now?
5 I think!
When was this released?
A month ago was the pre-order
Yup! 😊
@@Kerchie thank you so much for replying. I live in Portugal and I've looked up Amazon Spain inumerous times and I haven't found it yet. Could it be an exclusive USA release?
Do you have any Mighty Max?
Not yet, maybe someday.
@@Kerchie hope so!
I don't know why they don't just copy the originals especially since it's a keepsake. The original is far superior.
Different factories, most likely. They likely also want to spend less on manufacturing. :(
