Polly Pocket (modern, not vintage)

[Evelien]

Crap... looks like even in Apeldoorn, where they had a lot of PP about 6 months ago, they're not selling a lot of PP anymore. They hardly had any, if they had them at all. I didn't buy any.

I bought a few Pollys on eBay and Marktplaats (Dutch) now, but they all have plastic hair, I want them with fiber hair . I'll have a second look in Deventer's stores on Monday. Might even cave for the blonde grail Polly with the house for €15, lol, because I saw it's still €35 at other stores (gulp)... The woman selling the doll with the house refused to sell me just the little doll

[Evelien]

-Update- Someone else put the house with The Grail Polly on Marktplaats and this one IS willing to sell me just the little blonde doll, so yay!! I won't have to cave tomorrow and buy the whole house, lol

I did buy a set today that includes two fiber hair Pollys Can't wait! The Polly Pocket "Jet Polly" set:



There's LOTS of affordable Polly on amazon.com but they don't ship to the Netherlands *sob*

-edit- Eeee, I want the Polly & Meowmallow set:

Oooo! Those have fabric clothes too! I have never seen those ones before.

[Evelien]

Yeah, some of them do, but not all of them, and the tops all seem to be stuck on their hard plastic bodies.

As I just posted in Let's talk: I went on a big online shopping spree today and bought a whopping total of 22 Polly Pocket dolls from all over the place... lol... I hope to be able to post pictures of them soon. Lol!

By the way, Mattel changes the PP design OFTEN. The latest version has this face, which I dislike to be honest:

I kinda like the newer eyes better. The pupils look to be a darker shade of the iris color instead of black which gives them a bit of an anime look. Also Chrissy is slightly darker but not as dark as Shani so now they have three skintones instead of two.

[Evelien]

Hmm, I don't know. It's not that I think they're butt ugly, but they just don't do it for me like the big eyed Pollys do

Btw, I miscounted, I bought 23, not 22, lol -_-. And I have one at home, so I should have a total of 24 soon. PLUS I'll go out shopping for them in different places again tomorrow. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm an addict; I found out they're slowly disappearing from stores here, so I'd better buy some now while they last. I mean, I still very often dream about toystores full of vintage Pamela Love dolls, lol... yeah, the childhood trauma of realizing those had disappeared from stores, is still fresh XD

[Wardah]

Their eyes are still pretty large compared to the 2007 and earlier ones so I ain't complaining.

I'll raining dolls! Hallelujah! It's raining dolls!

I dislike the new eyes too. They look derp and makes the doll look like a knockoff. :/

[Evelien]

Can you tell me what the word 'derp(y)' means? I've seen it used several times now and I think I get what it means, kinda, but can you describe its meaning..?

I got a pretty good loot today! Will take pictures in a moment!

[kittyasauras]

derp or derpy is an internet slag when eyes (or seemingly now anything) looks dumb, cross-eyed, wall-eyed, or uneven.

I've always wished that the newer Polly Pockets would be bigger! LOL I think that they are really cute, I just don't like that size. I want them to be fashion dolls. haha

I go to thrift stores often, and I usually see some Pollys. Would you like me to buy them when I see them? I would have no idea if you had them already, though. Are you just looking for the ones with fiber hair?
