we've all seen polly pockets, right? In the shops, on the TV they're like almost as big a thing as barbie.

Did you know, however, that the new polly pockets are (in my opinion) absolute RUBBISH campared to the old compacts.

The new pollys are just like mini barbie type dolls with stand up houses and stretchy clothes. The old pollys come in their own little compact house/world that can actually be carried around in a pocket (hence the name).

You can get these off ebay really really cheap (though i wouldnt reccommend them for really little children as they have very small pieces) and I reccommend the mermaid compact in the shape of a book as the best I've found so far. Seriously, your little girl will love it! Alos it has a light and little mermaid pollys that are absolutely gorgeous =)
