I don't mind Lily Collins at all and I think she's beautiful but Lena Dunham is an untalented hack and a racist. Plus, Polly Pocket just doesn't have the cultural cache that Barbie does, sorry. It was always a 3rd tier doll to play with behind barbie, bratz, american girl, etc.

Not to mention (based on that picture at least) she looks like a PTA mom who wants to speak to a manager.

Yeah what is that pic?! That is not how Polly Pocket looked like.

I really want to know who thought teeny tiny ass toys were a good idea for kids lol.

Right?? Like, looking back they were a total choking hazard!!
Although they were the perfect size to go through those marble run things with some water and pretend they were going down a monstrous water slide

they were the bees knees until they made Polly look...like a doll.

A European lol. We had a shit ton tiny toys like in the überraschungseier. I see the choke hazard concern but that's why you don't give them to small children.

As someone obsessed with miniature things, me. I was the kid they designed them for.

lol you're not alone because I recently sold all of my old Polly Pockets and they got a ton of interest and sold for good money so they definitely still have the nostalgia factor for people.

*me sobbing, thinking of my beloved polly pockets hidden away in a storage bin in my dusty basement*

Heck even MyScene (rip) was better. The online games slapped.

ontd's tradition of reframing people they dislike as untalented strikes again
