How Polly Pocket Compacts Work

A Polly Pocket compact is both the outside case and the setting inside. Open the shell to reveal rooms, furniture, vehicles, animals and moving features sized for Polly Pocket micro dolls.

The contents vary from one compact to another. Some have one room and one doll, while larger sets open into several areas and include two dolls, pets and more accessories. The outside shape often gives a clue to the theme inside, but the product description confirms the exact contents.

Animal Family Purse Compacts

The Momma Monkey, Sloth Family and Bunny Fun sets each have a larger animal compact and a smaller baby compact. Both cases open into separate scenes, then connect so the dolls can move between them.

These are the largest Polly Pocket sets in the current ToyTown collection. They include two micro dolls, animal figures, accessories and a strap for carrying the closed compacts together. The monkey set connects with a zipline tram, while the sloth and bunny sets use a bridge between the two cases.

Clip & Comb Compacts

Clip & Comb sets combine a miniature Polly Pocket room with hair accessories that children can use. Open the compact to find a mirror, one micro doll and either a birthday party or sleepover setting.

Both versions include a comb, a clip and a hair extension. The Birthday Compact has party details and a styling area, while the Sleepover Compact includes a bed, television area and sleepover accessories.

Tiny Take Out Reveal

Tiny Take Out is a surprise Polly Pocket assortment. Each container opens to reveal one vehicle inspired by food, one micro doll and three accessories.

There are five possible designs based on pancakes, chips, cherry pie, noodles and cake. The exact design is hidden, so customers receive one surprise from the assortment rather than choosing a particular vehicle.

Polly Pocket Elf Compact

The Polly Pocket Elf Compact is based on the Christmas film Elf. Its case is shaped like a snow globe and opens into Santa’s workshop. It includes micro figures of Buddy, Santa and Papa Elf.

The workshop has doors to open, a toy that pops up, Santa’s sleigh, animal figures and Christmas accessories. This Polly Pocket set is based on a film rather than the standard animal compact designs.

Choosing a Polly Pocket Set

Polly Pocket FAQ

What is Polly Pocket?

Polly Pocket is Mattel’s miniature doll and compact playset range. The original Polly Pocket appeared in 1989, with tiny dolls and small cases that opened into rooms and other settings.

Are modern Polly Pocket toys the same as vintage Polly Pocket?

No. Mattel introduced the modern Polly Pocket range in 2018. It keeps the familiar compact idea, but the current dolls, accessories and play features are different from the original toys. Do not assume that vintage pieces will fit modern sets.

What is a Polly Pocket micro doll?

A micro doll is the small figure used inside current Polly Pocket compacts and playsets. These dolls are much smaller than standard fashion dolls and are sized for the rooms, furniture and vehicles inside Polly Pocket sets.

Can dolls and accessories move between Polly Pocket sets?

Mattel states that current Polly Pocket mini dolls and themed accessories can be mixed between sets. Shaped seats, bridges and moving features may work best with the pieces supplied with that particular compact. Compatibility with vintage Polly Pocket toys should not be assumed.

What is the difference between an animal purse compact and a smaller compact?

An animal family purse compact has two opening cases, two micro dolls, more accessories and a carrying strap. Smaller compacts usually have one case, one micro doll and fewer pieces.

Can I choose which Tiny Take Out design I receive?

No. Tiny Take Out is a surprise assortment. Each pack contains one of five vehicles inspired by food, so the exact design is not selected before opening.

What age are Polly Pocket toys suitable for?

The Polly Pocket toys currently in this collection are marked for children aged four years and over. The dolls and accessories are very small, so check the age information on the product page and packaging before buying.
