![]() Īs Lucy Locket faded into obscurity, Polly Pocket stepped up her game in the late 1990s and the early 2000s. īesides, Bluebird was a British toy company and it made sense for Lucy to have a British accent during the sales of the sister line. After all, a Polly would fit into Lucy’s pocket at the time of the jumbo-sized spin-off’s sales. It can be theorised that how Lucy was a bigger doll with brushable hair during her sales in the ‘90s was the inspiration for the 3 ¾ inch dolls from Mattel in the 2000s, especially the ones that had brushable hair instead of plastic hair. She even had extra pairs of shoes sculpted with a circular platform for standing up. She had actual doll hair, blue eyes, a tiny nose, much more detailed hands and a pretty smile, as well as a British accent in that advert she appeared in back in 1995. However, Lucy still had some credibility of her own, despite not being as iconic as Polly. Heck, Polly Pocket was even featured in lockets while Lucy never had a chance to fit in one in honour of her surname. Its playsets would be basically described as jumbo-sized versions of some of the compacts, which is not a bad idea, but I believe that it made her name quite misleading. ĭuring the pint-sized playmate’s original run, there was a spin-off line known as “Lucy Locket”. The classic Polly Pocket sets were amazing, oui? Let us continue s’il vous plaît. The concept of a tiny world inside of a small compact is simply charming, delightful and imaginative, despite not being recommended for young ones under the age of three years old. The first era of the Polly Pocket franchise had a much more masculine counterpart targeted at young boys named “Mighty Max” that lasted from 1992 to 1996. The same features applied to an oval-shaped compact that was pale pink. How Polly even went to a small and detailed interpretation of Paris was magnifique ! Even though the vintage dolls that were almost an inch tall were stuck to circular bases, one compact that was set in a stable for horses featured her with moveable legs for securely placing her onto a horse back in 1996. Tina sure was adorable with her blonde hair in pigtails. Having her or a friend of hers, such as Tiny Tina riding on a pen pal on the top of a pencil seemed like a quirky trend at primary school. Let us further elaborate on the creativity and ambitions of what seemed like the golden era of the pint-sized cutie pie that started back in 1989. ![]() So much has changed, huh? Once again, we shall strut through Polly’s history, but somewhat differently this time. After reading the paperback edition of a charming and engaging story about two mice on a rather daring journey in Birmingham titled “The Incredible Journey and Adventures of William and Klara Churchmouse”, I have decided to expand on our previous journey for the pint-sized passions of Polly Kingston Pocket and her Polly pals while plenty of LEGO lovers and Nintendo nerds out there are thrilled about the second series of LEGO sets starring Mariobob Plumberpants being released at the beginning of 2021. Being a 2000s kid who loved playing online games on her website when was still around, I just could not resist expanding on our road trip throughout the different eras of her legacy in a pink limousine. Who would have thought there would be a Polly Pocket Funko Pop! figure available for pre-ordering in late 2020? Look how convincing its design is ! I am quite infatuated with it, despite how I grew with a later generation instead of the arguably most iconic one from 1989 to 1997. It has been over a year since a collaboration with Hot Topic was established, along with a special recreation of a certain birthday party to celebrate Polly Pocket’s 30 th anniversary.
