EL SEGUNDO, Calif.,
Feb. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- More
than 30 years since the launch, Mattel announces the relaunch of
Polly Pocket in the original micro-scale and compacts that made her
a 90's phenomenon. The all new product line is accompanied with an
animated series to introduce a new generation to the world of Polly
to amplify her story for modern fans.
With more than 10 million compacts sold throughout the years,
the compact product line nods to the brand's heritage and surprise
factor, but reflects an updated look of the characters and scenes
from the content. The series follows Polly and her friends as they
embrace big adventures in a shrunken size, thanks to Polly's magic
locket.

- Polly Pocket Tiny Pocket Places Assortment
- Polly Pocket World Assortment

"Many of today's parents were the generation that made Polly
Pocket a phenomenon and now they can introduce their children to
Polly's world," said Hailey
Sullivan, VP of Marketing, Girls Toy Box Mattel. "We
know that the 90's is making a resurgence so what better time to
bring back the beloved micro-playsets for the next generation."

Polly inspiring girls to be capable, courageous and tenacious in
their own lives, just like her. Polly Pocket product will hit toy
