Polly Pocket (series)

2010 Rebranding[]

Polly Pocket was rebranded by Gelcomm. Their official website states, "When the spunky, adventurers Polly Pocket™ brand was ready for a fresh new look, we literally jumped at the opportunity. Our role was to bring the new Polly to life with a refreshed logo and a core visual asset library of icons, prints and graphics for use across multiple touch points, from digital to licensing."^[1]

2018 Reboot[]

An all new product line was released in summer 2018 which included both micro-sized playsets and 3-inch fashion doll assortments. The 2018 Polly Pocket toy line was first revealed at the New York Toy Fair. The 2018 toy line has a marketing campaign that encourages girls to be "courageous and tenacious in their own lives", like Polly.^[2] There is also an animated series with twenty-six 22-minute episodes and a 44-minute TV special.^[3]

In late 2020, Mattel revamped the micro Polly dolls - instead of soft rubber legs with "Polly Stick Technology", the new micro dolls have 5 points of articulation for posing. They also introduced several new "friend" characters beyond the initial four (Polly, Lila, Shani, and Nicholas).

Sand Secrets (2019-2020)[]

In early 2020, Mattel introduced the Sand Secrets line of mystery boxes. Each mystery box comes with a micro doll, three accessories, and a bag of colorful sand. One of the accessories typically includes a stamp mold for play with the sand. This is the first line of the 2018 Reboot series to include brand new characters other than the four main cast members, such as Gwen and a Mermaid. Unlike the standard micro doll, the hair and legs of these characters are a hard plastic consistent with the micro doll's torso.
