Polly Pockets - help needed!!

[champagne27]

Hi -

My DD wants to buy Polly Pockets with some $ she made selling some of her toys at a yard sale. Totally confused over a toy!!!! Am I right in that there are 3 kinds - the one with rubbery clothes, ones that "click" and magnetic ones??

Which ones are easiest for little hands?

Thanks!

The ones that are rubbery, like these:

My daughter has tons of these and just a few of the other ones, these are the ones she always plays with.

Wow Polly sure has changed since my childhood. It used to be bigger sized "compacts" that opened up so the top side had a scene and the bottom side did as well and Polly kind of clicked into little spots so she'd stand and she was what maybe an inch tall and pure plastic? I liked them as much as the Caboodles toys.

Polly pockets nowdays are plastic dolls about 4" tall that come with little rubber clothes and accessories. There are about a million different playsets.

My DD loves the Disney princess version of polly pockets...not the official PP's, but all of the princesses with outfits, accessories, even their princes if you buy them at the Disney store.

The Disney ones and the PP's are not exactly the same size, but they are pretty close and my DD swaps clothes between them all.

It's not easy to get the rubber clothing on, and some of the princesses have "lost their heads" when my DD was trying to gain leverage getting the rubber clothes off, but all in all she manages them pretty well.

The "click it" Polly's are not fun according to my girls because they can't sit and if they bend them the clothes POP off!!

They would much rather have the ones with the rubbery clothes - once you get the hang of them they aren't to hard to put on.

My daughter loves the Disney Princess Polly's and plays with them non-stop. It drove me nuts at first because every 2 seconds she was asking me to get the little rubber clothes on and that's a big PITA! Now she can do it herself so it's great. Although, in keeping with what another poster wrote, we have had more than 1 princess lose her head! They pop off pretty easily.

My daughter loves them, but the pieces get lost sooooo easy. Some of her accessories are very tiny. I don't understand the appeal of them, but I think the cute commericals drive my daughter to want them so bad.

LOL...I would have killed to have them at my DD's age. I like playing with them now! It's baby dolls I can't get into...

The rubber clothesed ones are the ones my DD plays with --she's 7 and still loves them. I know it sounds weird, but I make her keep them and play with them in the bathroom. we don't have a playroom and she has a lot of pool stuff with them, so she was constantly asking for the sink to be their pool, so they now reside in the bathroom The benefit to this is that she doesn't lose any pieces, because no other toys are in the bathroom to get the little pieces mixed into And it's easy to see if a peice is left out.
