Polly Pocket dolls are well-known for their often tiny nature and endless fun possibilities within their compact sets. Polly Pocket now offers sets with larger dolls but they are still most known for the smaller dolls that can be easily transported. These dolls have been around for a long while, spanning back more than three decades. If you know someone that is a Polly Pocket fan, here are some similar toy options for them.
Polly Pocket is a brand of dolls that offers many different sizes but is most famous for its compact sets and micro dolls. These dolls are smaller than 2 inches in height and can fit in provided miniature compact sets which offer a range of creative possibilities.
The brand originally began as a gift from a father to his daughter. After a few years, the concept grew into an actual toy brand. According to Love To Know, Polly Pocket was first sold by a toy company that was later purchased by Mattel. The fate of Polly Pocket at one point became uncertain as Mattel tried to stray from the original Polly Pocket concept and tried to make the dolls larger. Now, Polly Pockets are sold in both small and large doll options and still offer a wide range of compact toy sets.
The reason Polly Pockets are so popular is that they can be taken anywhere by a child due to their size. These dolls come in what are called "tiny compact sets," and the idea of the name and original sets were both inspired by the size and shape of makeup compacts.
