When Polly Pocket Was Peak 90s Girl Energy

You know in a weird way, Polly Pocket is possibly one of the most feminist toys that we grew up playing with. Sure, it still tried to propagate the propaganda of the patriarchy but with one significant twist, the pocket. Sure it was not an actual pocket that could be used on a daily basis, that would be far too much to ask for, but the fact that even the concept of a pocket was introduced into the female arena at that time is rather impressive.

Not to mention that it was the trademark of every 'IT girl' or socialite at school. Friendships were made over them, battles were fought (with words and some hair pulling) and they have stood the long test of time to return to us today with this list that serves to remind us all that Polly Pocket was peak 90s girl energy, and we were all there for it.

Only the real ones will remember this gem. This not only took a tedious amount of dedication to find and convince your parents to buy, but also a whole lot of care and attention to not accidentally crush and ruin the delicate moving parts of this priceless fashion accessory.

Polly was a genius not only for her multitude of different designs and scenarios, but for her portability. To think that you could walk around town, go to the movies or attend a birthday party with this handbag and still have space for all these polly pocket toys. Absolutely incredible. Hours of fun no matter where you were or what you were doing.
