Picky Pocket: Not Topic

Hot topic now has an official Mattel Polly Pocket line of merchandise. and it's okay. To look at its very lovely pastels and certainly evocative of vintage Polly Pocket. The collection I think the lavender book and the pink purse are the best things and the worst things are the clothes because hot topic clothes are nowadays made very poorly married cheaply and also not with a full figure in mind. it's fine. If you're okay supporting hot topic who are infamous rip-off artist and a terrible company then how about the Polly Pocket collection by all means. I mean I have purchased clearance items from there myself. Sometimes the price is so low that that cheap shirt is worth it parentheses Lisa Frank SpongeBob shirt parentheses

but for the most part I stay away from hot topic because it's not good anymore and it should be better. And when we spend money where money isn't deserved or telling that thing that we don't really like that we liked it because all they know is that they're getting money.

but I love Polly Pocket and I have personally thought of so many ways to have a Polly Pocket fashion line that there's no way this collection could impress me in the slightest. So it doesn't. And my ideas are awesome but I don't want them to be stolen in case I actually become a famous fashion designer and I can get Mattel license Polly Pocket fashion collab out there myself yo. Sorry not sorry. People still ideas that's the internet..

but if you're like me and you love Polly Pocket and you don't want to buy this Polly Pocket merchandise then there's plenty of things on the internet already that you could purchase to show your Polly Pocket love. And in some cases they're actually much better I think then what hot topic is offering

first of all hear the Polly pockets that I loved and had as a child. I was always too afraid to lose my Polly pieces so I did you play with them outside of the house very much perhaps defeating the purpose of a portable dollhouse. But my Polly's had adventures with my mighty Max and I had a really good time being able to take my toys into any room or any trusted friends house or grandma's house and continue my adventures.

and the following is a list of items that I found on the internet that are really cool Polly Pocket stuff so if you love vintage Polly Pocket, support other vintage Polly pocket fans and not terrible corporate hot topic

so many people I know are jumping all over this hot topic collab and I'm just so disappointed. And then the previous collab that we got Polly Pocket was fantastic in design and aesthetic but is lime crime which is a makeup company that I do not want to support and many others are on board with me there too. so hopefully what this does looking on the bright side finding the silver lining you know me when you live in the clouds that's how you got to be I hope that all of this attention and this hot topic endeavor being profitable goes towards there being a space in reality for an awesome Polly Pocket fashion line and accessories. to be perfectly honest the Polly Pocket playsets now or incredibly weak. And if you want a Polly Pocket experience these days from current toy I cannot recommend highly enough that you get Shopkins little secrets playsets instead. They're designed like padlocked play sets and I love that aspect of them not anybody can just pop open your playset. Plus I just love padlocks and that's something that I draw all the time anyway. I think the only gripe I have with that design is that there isn't any like key element to it and even though you have the combination I just think it would be really cool if they had a little window on the front of it for you to display a little mini Shopkins figure on the outside of the playset but that's  just an idea that I had personally because I've played with Polly pockets and imagined them so many ways for so many years.

unfortunately I gave up on it because I got sick but I think that there have been similar things where a Polly Pocket playset is modified so that it's morgoth. What my idea and my plan was was to fashion an existing Polly Pocket house style that we're not flatter really made for putting in your pocket remember. To be nightmare before Christmas playset because there were so many Disney Polly pockets and yet there was never a nightmare before Christmas playset. And I feel like that's just such a sad loss because nightmare before Christmas is such a small world nightmare Town. It could have been done in four small sets. Or just one really good set like The wizard of Oz got. but unfortunately I got sick and I let go of all of the Polly pockets that I had collected and accumulated over the years as well as mine from childhood which right now boggles my mind but I was sick in the mind and the body so that's the reason for that.

I don't have any Polly pockets now and I don't have any Shopkins polly pocket wannabe now. And that's kind of sad. I would like to repurpose a vintage Polly Pocket compact but it would have to be like so destroyed inside for me to feel good about ripping it up and using it for something else. Or am I just get a bug up my butt and do it. I obliterated a backpack club playset because I just got impatient with it on a bad mental health day. I've been trying to just strip out the playset element of it and replace it with a plush lining and just life was not good. I have a nice one I think, but the one i was tearing apart was already in really bad shape.

What compacts did you have & which were your favorite?

My favorite was the circle apartment and Tina was my fave polly character. But the forest jewel was a close second because the mushroom and squirrel were just precious!
