I have to wonder if maybe molding her with her arms DOWN might have been a little more. Her arms don't move at all either, she's basically a static tiny figure stuck forever in a T pose. Her hair is tied back into two molded pigtails and she has giant printed on glasses, cute. I think she's dressed like a scout of some sort, she has a sash of badges. I dunno, not quite solidly applied, a bit unclear. I looked at a lot in the store and there was some variation in the quality of the print, none are very clear and all of them look a little. Her details are all stamped decals and have a little fuzziness and pixilated-ness to them but given she's tiny I can forgive that. Her pot o' stew or whatever she was trying to cook sadly cannot fit over the fire so alas, she's gonna have to eat it cold. The playset itself is nicely moded with lots of bright colours, some of which are utterly unrealistic. I mean only her BOOTS needed to have this sticky rubber shit so why make her so noodly? I still don't see why making her able to stand on one teeeeeensy bit of the playset was in any way useful or meant she needed to have rubber legs. ![]() She doens't stick to glass ot the fridge or metal or plastic or anything, just the marshmellow sticker floor. I mean I tried to see if she'd stick to any smooth surface but nope. She DOES stick to the marshmellow floor very well, but it's literally the only bit she sticks to. That means the little logs around the fire? utterly useless. ![]() See, first of all, Shani has NO waist joint, so she can't sit down. Of course, here's the point where I start to discuss the problems with this little playset. Looks like they're doing these lockets (there's around 8 of them I think) and these: Shopkins just never appealed and much as the Shoppies remind me of Cherry Merry Muffin, the first doll line I ever collected (I was like 4 ahaha) I can't justify the £15 price tag nor find one I LOVE enough.īut this thing, this thing LOOKS like Polly Pocket! It doesn't look like Shopkins at all. I don't collect Shopkins, I try not to collect blind bags because they clutter the place up terribly. So it's like they just keep shrinking em down till eventually we got. Shopkins are blind bag toys and spun off already a doll line called Shoppies who remind me of Cherry Merry Muffin (it's the living kitchen appliances and blocky heads okay?) which in turn got another spinoff Shopkins little places. This is a Shopkins lil' Secrets, a spinoff of their very successful anthropormorphic food line (those are words I never thought i'd type). No, it's not Polly Pocket, it's Moose Toys yet again pilfering my childhood for toy ideas! So while I lamented Amazon's "available in stock in 2-3 months" nonsense and huffed about not wanting to pay postage and order online, Husband appeared from the supermarket with this: I'm totally blonde dolled out and kinda a bit biased against them. <_< I like dolls with glasses okay?Īlso blonde dolls bore me. I didn't want Polly, I wanted her friend Shani because she has glasses omg. i hate it) and the big department store ONLY had a huge pile of ONE budget set, ALL Polly. ![]() Entertainer at the time hadn't restocked, or decided to HIDE them (their new store SUUUUCKS, the layout is chaotic and it's impossible to find anything without asking. Now, I searched the damn stores for new Polly for a good week or two. Polly Pocket spent decades in the hands of Mattel being made less and less pocket sized and more and more "just another small doll"īut she's BACK! 2018 and tiny Polly with a bloody playset that folds up is BACK! Then again I was a pretty lazy kid and did like no chores so my parents were basically just giving me money for existing, which was kinda nice of them right? Lemme tell you, $5NZD a week didn't go very far in 1995. And to be fair, my pocket money was mostly at that point spent on Littlest Pet Shop (my obsession at the time) and Goosebumps/Fear Street/Point horror books (my OTHER obsession of the era lol) ![]() Oh I thought they were wonderful, but like Sylvanian Families, far far too pricey. It was small and didn't have much to it, it was nothing on those big elaborate sets I saw in catalogues or that some of my friends had.
