Polly Pocket 80th Anniversary Heritage Compact from Mattel

Get ready to celebrate eight decades of play with the Polly Pocket Heritage Compact from Mattel.

Created by Chris Wiggs as a toy for his young daughter in 1983, Polly Pocket is a line of miniaturized dolls and accessories first launched by Bluebird in 1989. Wiggs originally crafted the prototype from a powder compact, creating a tiny home inside it, a simple idea that inspired one of the most recognizable miniature toy lines of the era. Acquired by Mattel in 1998, the toys consisted of plastic cases that opened to form a playset complete with a number of accessories, moving parts, and a selection of micro dolls that were less than an inch tall. Now one of the most sought-after miniature toy brands, Polly Pocket has grown to encompass everything from cartoons to clothing brands. A live-action movie starring Lily Collins is also in the works, looking to follow in the footsteps of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Modelled after the original Partytime Surprise Keepsake released in 1989, the 80th Anniversary Heritage Compact features revamped colours and opens to a house party complete with three dolls and an adorable pet teddy bear. The multi-deck interior is full of classic touches, including a bedroom, bathroom, dining room, and even a dance hall complete with a DJ booth and a revolving floor, the perfect place for Polly and her pals to celebrate in style.

A number of fun play-and-display moments have also been incorporated to further enhance your experience in this swingin’ pad. From opening presents and floating balloons to enjoying a slice of cake with friends, this petite playset offers multiple ways to celebrate 80 years of Mattel magic.

Designed for fans ages four years old and up, the Polly Pocket Heritage Compact is perfect for those who love collectable toys with a nostalgic flair. Priced at $33.00 USD, it’s available now through the Mattel Creations website. So grab your friends and cue the music, because it’s time to party like it’s 1989!
