I noticed just before this video went live. 😂🥰 I hope you all are doing well today! Enjoy taking a look at the last of the four new Polly Pocket compacts! Let me know what you think of it. =) 💕💕

This set looks so cute, I really like the balloon arch, the pink balloon and the dogs 🥰

[@RachelRetro]

Love that arch! 🥰💕

Cute!

[@danielnascimento6300]

On a positive note - thank you so much for your videos. They’re so well done and provide a lovely positive vibe in an otherwise complicated world. Keep up the great work.

[@RachelRetro]

Aww, Daniel, thank you for this comment! 💕 It made me so happy. 🥰 I really enjoy making videos and I’m so glad you enjoy watching. Thank you for being here! 💗💗

[@RachelRetro]

Ha, you’re spot on. 😊 I live in Kentucky!

@@RachelRetro ahhh cool! I’m Canadian but lived in the UK for 11 years. Went to the states but not Kentucky!

[@RachelRetro]

Never been to the UK, and only once to Canada that I remember when I was about 14. Didn’t get to do much while there though. It just a quick afternoon trip since we were already in Michigan. 💕

[@staceybernier9484]

Soooo…I don’t like any of the new Polly pockets! But I NEED this one! So cute!

[@RachelRetro]

Mattel sometimes gives us some worthy sets! 😍 This one still isn’t back on Amazon yet, but surely it won’t be too long! 💕

[@AugustBug56]

🎉 yessss I do love a doggy birthday party 🎉 I legit went to one some years ago and we had the time of our lives 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐶🎉 I shall recreate that memory over and over with this new set 🎉 So glad you shared it with us today ♥️🐶🎉

[@RachelRetro]

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a dog birthday party! You lucky thing! 💗 You know I’ll be on the lookout so I can let you know as soon as this set is back in stock! We can’t rest till you have it in your collection! 😂💕💕

[@danielnascimento6300]

Ya this is the best of the bunch

[@SaadhyaReddyVootkuri]

I HAVE THIS SET BUT DID NOT OPEN IT YET, I EVAN GOT IT TODAY🐶🐶🐶🐶

[@pranavsathish6972]

This set looks great and I really like the dog feeder and the dogs

[@CaptileTactileLuke]

They actually put dogs in the set!!! Hopefully Mattel continues this with other animal themed/related sets as well :D

[@RachelRetro]

Right?! You’d think they would always include movable animals in animal themed compacts, but sadly that wasn’t always the case haha. I’m very glad you can actually play with all of the dogs in this set. 🥰💕

[@hlsmith0814]

Any idea what the magnet on the spinny part is for? We didn’t find anything that stuck to it

[@elizabethdehaye639]

So, do you have a favorite (or even a top 10 list) of the modern Polly Pocket sets, say from the last 2 years?

[@RachelRetro]

I doubt I could pick just one favorite! But I’m sure I could compile a top 10, just not in any particular order. =) I will give it a bit of thought and get back to you! 💕

[@RachelRetro]

Ok, I’m back! =) This took a bit of thinking and it was harder than I thought it would be to pick 10, haha. I assume we aren’t considering Keepsake Collection sets as “modern” sets. If we were, Mermaid Dreams would definitely be number one for me! But if we are only counting the new design as modern, this is probably how my list would go. Again, in no particular order, and there are a couple on the list that are from 2019, so technically 3 years ago. AND I included multiple sets as one a couple times, because they’re all the same type of compact. Hopefully that’s not cheating. 😂 1. Jungle Safari/Juice Box - this one is from 2019 and I don’t care for rubber leg Polly, but I love the design of the compact and I think the inside is really fun and cute. 2. Watermelon Pool Party 3. Tiny Polly Pocket sets with picture frames/ Beekeeper and Pet Center. I just think those sets are so simple and cute. 4. Cuddly Cat Purse 5. Art Studio 6. Saturn Space Explorer - another from 2019 and rubber Polly, but I LOVE the tiny space ship inside for the alien and I just think it’s a really fun theme. 7. Zen Cat Restaurant 8. Race & Rock Arcade - even though it is the absolute worst for storing the pieces inside, I love the theme and colors. 9. Flip & Find sets - I don’t have all of them and I guess if I really had to choose my favorite of them, I’d pick the cat. If I had the arctic fox one, it would probably be my favorite. =) 10. Otter Aquarium Hopefully this wasn’t too long and bored you, haha. =) Thanks for your question! It definitely got me thinking! 💕💗💕

[@elizabethdehaye639]

Awesome! I just "discovered" Polly Pocket and wanted to get a few sets for my 7 year old for Christmas (who am I kidding, they're really for me but her name will be on the gift tags 😉). I'm overwhelmed by the choices but this helps narrow things down to some that are on sale or that I already liked myself. Thanks!

[@RachelRetro]

I’m sure she would love just about any of them! 💕 My daughters (10 and 7) helped me compile the list of favorites, so many of them on there are kid-approved. =) If you’re just starting out building your…I mean, your daughter’s 😉…collection, then I’d say definitely go for the least expensive sets first! Unless there are sets you know you and your daughter would love, then obviously get those as well. Older modern sets will have fewer pieces and not as much detail. It’s kind of a trade off, as I prefer fewer pieces, since all the pieces that come with sets now are honestly a bit overwhelming and a headache to keep track of. Sets like Cuddly Corgi, Hedgehog Cafe, On The Farm Piggy, and Jumpin’ Style Pony are nice because they come with minimal pieces and have Polly dolls with fully plastic bodies, but there is no way for the dolls to stand in the sets. These sets came out kind of in the middle of the transition between rubber leg Polly that stood by sticking to stickers and the plastic Polly we have now that stand on pegs. For some reason, they didn’t put any pegs in these sets, so you just have to balance Polly and hope she doesn’t fall over haha. And lots of the animal figures in these sets are stuck in place and you can’t play with them, so that can be frustrating. What fun you both will have, discovering all of these sets and building a collection together! 💕💕💕

[@elizabethdehaye639]

Thanks for the suggestions! Do the newer jointed characters fit into the various "seats" of the older modern sets that were meant for the rubbery dolls?

[@ivywindsong]

How cute! Did you show that to me?

[@RachelRetro]

I didn’t! I’ll have to remember to show you. I suppose I probably have a lot of new ones you haven’t seen.

[@ivywindsong]

@@RachelRetro I don't remember the unicorn either. But I was embarrassed to ask about it just in case I'd seen them both and am just too forgetful to know.:) But since I haven't seen the dog one, maybe I'm safe in saying I don't remember the unicorn one. I do have a faint memory of seeing a picture of the unicorn one, but I'm not sure it's a true memory. Unicorns are everywhere.:)

[@RachelRetro]

Hahaha and there are a lot of unicorn Polly Pocket sets, so I’m sure you’ve seen some of them, just not necessarily the most recent. I haven’t shown you any of the newest sets yet, I don’t think.

[@ivywindsong]

@@RachelRetro Okay good. I'm not as crazy as I thought I might be.:)

[@munchocrisps]

Does Target or Walmart have these?

[@RachelRetro]

Target doesn’t. If you search for this set on Walmart’s website, they have it, but it’s like $29. 😕

[@munchocrisps]

@@RachelRetro Ahh 🥲

[@vintagegaudi]

OMG this one is so cute 😱 I like they did new accessoires and pieces🥰 sadly none of them are avalable in Switzerland or online for us🙈 as usuaI think they come next year. Always one year behind 🙈

[@RachelRetro]

They need to just hurry up and get there already for you! 😭💗 Waiting for new sets is so hard!

[@vintagegaudi]

@@RachelRetro yeah you say it🙈 its anoying to see others have new stuff and here you have to wait and no one knows when or if its avalable 🙈 and Amazon does rarely shop to switzerland nor do we have a Mattelstore or something so it is alwaya waiting and waiting and hoping 😂🙈🙈 but cool to see the new Sets on your chanel 🥰 and your videos help me in selecting the ones I nees and the ones I can skip ☺️

[@RachelRetro]

I can imagine it would hard watching others get sets first and having to wait so long. =( But I am really glad that my videos help you with deciding which sets to get! It makes me happy to know that my videos are useful! 🥰💕

[@stevennicolebernal379]

Honestly speaking, I really don't like the idea of that Flip down thing. It doesn't make sense to me personally. I'd rather make it like the old Polly Pocket theme, like a normal 2nd and 3rd floor, that you can use as a living room, kitchen, bedr2, etc. But I do get that for this set, it was supposed to be an outdoor theme. But with the other 3 sets of lineup, most of them doesn't make sense. But for the record, the cupcake one really stand out to me. The fact that they have a male character was kinda fresh to me. Since Nicolas rarely shows up on Modern Polly pocket playset.

[@RachelRetro]

I totally agree! The flip down doors really bother me. When they’re down, they get in the way of the bottom part. I like them for storage of the millions of pieces they give you 😩 but otherwise, I wish they’d stop doing it. And if they’d bring the accessories back down to two or three, we wouldn’t need a special storage place for them! 😄 I’m definitely with you on wishing it would go back to the old style. I’d be more than happy with just a “generic” house design and not have sets based around themes. 💕 And I was very happy to see a male character as well! They don’t include him nearly enough. 💗

[@stevennicolebernal379]

@@RachelRetro Yes, the old Polly Pocket was so much better. I'm actually into that Polly Era in 2000s, she's already big, but the details of the compact was so much better. I'm specifically talking about the one you posted on your channel, I watch that more often while I'm cooking for Dinner. That one that Polly got 3 dogs, and 3 penguins. That is the most amazing Polly Pocket I wish I could have. But at the moment, I'm really into Hello Kitty Playsets. I only have Taco one missing, it's not available here in the Philippines.

[@RachelRetro]

Oh I love early 2000s Polly too! 💕 I’m so happy to know you do as well! 🥰 Most people love the 80s and 90s Polly, with good reason because they’re beautiful and perfect. That’s what I grew up with, so it’s of course very special to me. But I love all the different generations of Polly! And that igloo set (at least that’s the one I think you’re talking about) is just so pretty! 😍😍 Those 2000s sets are of course quite different from the earlier Polly, but that’s what makes them so special.. they’re unique! I wish you could find it since you love it so much too! 💗 And nooo, you can’t get the Hello Kitty Taco?? I’m sorry. =( I know how frustrating it is to want certain sets but them not be available to you. And you watch my videos while cooking dinner? That is so sweet! 💕💕 Most of the time when I’m watching videos, I’m cooking or cleaning or painting my nails or something. Knowing my videos are a part of just a normal, every day activity for you makes me so happy. 🥰💗💕

[@danielnascimento6300]

Why are they all animal related? Ughhhh I like it as a dog owner but they need more creativity. Sorry to be neggo! Probably will get this though 😂

[@RachelRetro]

Haha! It’s still hard to resist, huh? 😂 I don’t mind animal themes, but they’ve definitely done a lot of them. What kind of themes would you like to see? Look up the Mama and Joey Kangaroo purse! Still animals, but also nursery. 😍 I can not wait till it comes out!! 🥰💕

[@danielnascimento6300]

@@RachelRetro ooo that sounds good! Also mythical themes like fairies or maybe a ancient Egyptian-theme? Or like a virtual reality themed one. Or country themes? A boat/cruise theme. A train theme. So many!

[@RachelRetro]

I really like your ideas! If only we were the ones in charge of designs. 😩 I’d like to see a set even without a theme..just a cozy little home, like vintage sets used to do. 🥰

[@laurac.4861]

Hi! Ah 💩 poop, interesting. I love the balloon dog, were did you de saw the other one, this is the first time for me. I also love the guide dog 🦮 . That what we need, miss more variation. I'm glad the grill didn't came with it 🤣

[@danielnascimento6300]

That grill needs to go away forever

[@RachelRetro]

No grill! For once! 😂 I’d have to go through my sets and figure out where I’ve seen the other balloon animal, but I know there is a blue one. Even my daughters remember it, so I know I’m not crazy. 😂 If I figure it out, I’ll come back to these comments and let you know haha! 💕

[@RachelRetro]

Well, I have now looked through every set I could possibly imagine the blue balloon dog being in, and I can’t find it anywhere. But I still have a very vivid memory of it, sooo…safe to say I’m now a bit concerned about my mental wellbeing, haha. 😭

[@RachelRetro]

Oh my goodness, I finally figured it out. 😂 It wasn’t Polly Pocket at all… it was Lego Friends Cube. 🤣 It’s from the set called Emma’s Dalmatian. Well, at least I’m not totally crazy, so that’s good! 😂

[@laurac.4861]

@@RachelRetro hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to look for it ☺️. I look also in the Polly pockets videos am images but didn't find it. I look for image of the Lego one, it is identical, it's interesting because I feel like Pollys are turning into Legos
