Check The Attic, Your Old Polly Pocket Toys Are Now Worth A Fortune

By Awa | Aug 28, 2023

When Bluebird released their Polly Pocket line of toys, we would've never guessed they would stick around long enough to be worth a fortune today.

The teeny-tiny toys were among some of the hottest children's items in the 80s and 90s, and apparently not much has changed. Every kid owned one of those pastel and jewel-hued sets that housed pocket-sized dolls and accessories that were definite choking hazards, but we didn't care (and apparently neither did our parents).

Anyway, over time we outgrew these fun toys, and while some of our sets ended up in our parent's attics, others became trash. Turns out, some of us shouldn't have gotten rid of our beloved Polly Pocket toys, because not only is it making a comeback as of late, the older toys are considered hot commodity on auction sites!

If you're one of the lucky ones who can still locate your once-loved dolls, sets, and accessories, now's the time bring them out because they fetch you a ton of money. We're talking hundreds of dollars, maybe even thousands.

Let's find out which ones are worth putting up for sale, shall we?

1989-1990 House and Shops Set - $599

1995 Enchanted Storybook Sparkling Mermaid Adventure - $495

Vintage Bluebird Compacts - $615

1996 Sealed Jewel Case - $1,955

Polly Pocket Wedding Set - $3,300

Bluebird sold Polly Pockets to Mattel in 1998, so items made after 1998 may be even more valuable. Original packaging and toys with a hinge also tend to fetch more money, according to On Air With Ryan.

In the U.K., some people have made bids of $100,000 for some of the rarer sets!

If you're worried that people wouldn't buy these miniature toys, you shouldn't be because bidders are actually interested in them regardless of the high prices.

Do you have any of these old Polly Pocket toys? Let us know in the comments!

Gaming in the 80's

By Jordan N 4 months ago

For those that experienced the 80’s, its hard to forget the fond memories of being able to wear bright neon clothes, making mix tapes and working out with Jane Fonda. And for those born after this golden decade, it’s clear to see that the 80’s is still having an impact on future generations, with today’s teens still listening to Bon Jovi whilst fashion stores such as Asos and Topshop are bringing back 80’s fashion style. However, one aspect of the 80’s that was most iconic was the culture of gaming. With the likes of

Die Hard's Reginald VelJohnson Reveals How Al Powell Got Him Cast On Family Matters

By Tanya 4 months ago

Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya 4 months ago

The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They
