One of the consistent design elements in these Keepsake Collection pieces is this glitter in the plastic of the compact. I don't mind how this effect looks in the Starlight Castle and the Mermaid Dreams play sets, but the compact in the Royal Ball Jewelry Set looks like a rushed development mistake. In the sampling process they should have realized that they needed to be using a more transparent plastic rather than the more opaque pink plastic that they ended up producing this with. Looking at my set it looks splotchy much more than glittery. They seem to have also put glitter in the plastic of the bracelet if you look close and at best it's not noticeable at all and at worst it just looks like imperfections in the plastic. Just had to mention that because it bothers me, but still, I'm happy they made any of these at all so I suppose I can't complain too much. The Mermaid Dreams is definitely the best of this collection so far. Great to hear your thoughts on these.
I watched this again because I was unable to fully pay attention the first time. Anyway I do want to say that I have noticed that the new keepsake collection Polly Pockets do seem to be lower quality than the original 90s sets. The plastic is softer and cheep feeling and sometimes the paint is chipped or smudged. Perhaps the quality control is just not as good as it once was. That being said these are still adorable and totally worth purchasing.
So exciting, I hope they come out with the mermaid compact in the states soon! My favorite piece is actually the bracelet, I love that it's a play-set that you can wear and secure a Polly inside. So cute, I can't wait to open mine!
They are beautiful 😍 i'm hoping a remake of the pollypocket village back then in the 90s , crossing my fingers but these are beautiful I want them all 💗
Hi Holly, I love your videos ❤ I watch them with my husband, because he likes Polly too 🥰 I just wanted to let you know that Mattel released a new keepsake of Polly Pocket, called 'Polly Pocket Dolls and Playset, Collector Heritage Compact, 35th Birthday Partytime Stamper'. It's now available on Amazon (I'm not sponsored by them 😅). I'm looking forward to seeing your review of this new keepsake 😊
I found mine September at the new Walmart in Victoria, BC. They showed as sold out online, but I went in person and there were 5 on the shelf. Still 4 there when I left! :) ~$45 CAD
I'm not sure what the use of the black numbers would be on this set but we have a really similar set of black numbers on the remade vintage My Little Ponies on the bottom of their hooves. They function as clear indicators that they're remakes and not vintage. Really helpful in the second hand market with uneducated sellers.
You found the mermaid one?!?!? Where? I got the Starlight Castle and the Royal Ball jewelry set. I'm thinking about getting second ones of each so that I can keep one in the box and have one to play with. I haven't seen the mermaid one anywhere though.
The Mermaid one is for the moment only avalable in Australia and Canada at local Toystores 🙈 in the US and Europe we have to wait and drink coffee till it comes to us 😅
@@pixywings yeah maybe we get them befor they release a new one in 2023 😂😂 not sure if they do but hopefully the ones in the market are then available in Europe 😂
I don't like the jewelry set colour choices either, not a fan of metallic purple, the plastic quality is pretty poor too. I am waiting on my mermaid dreams but I am fell in love with it already! Thanks for showing us Holly!
Finally got the chance to watch it!! Lovely and in depth as usual! I am so waiting for these to come out in europe too hopefully😭i've seen some mermaids compacts have mermaids with purple tails instead of green, I hope to get the classic green!
Mais ça va sortie en France??? c'est trop dur d'attendre !!! 😛 Nous on à un énorme décalage avec vous, ça peut encore prendre des mois 😪. Bien sûr je vais regarder la vidéo, bisous
I finally gave in and bought the Mermaid Dreams set on eBay. I just can't wait for it to come to the USA anymore so I'm getting it imported from Canada. A lot of people are pricing it way too high on eBay, but I feel like I managed to get a good deal. I can hardly wait for it to arrive.
Tks for share them , I also got the Royal Ball Jewelry Set recently, very exciting!!! Wish one day, I also get the mermaid one !!!! Please comes the day soon.
It is now October and we're STILL waiting in the USA for the Mermaid Dreams 🤣💜. Crossing my fingers for Nov/Dec release, but I'm betting it will be more Jan. Mermaid Dreams is available in Canada at the moment and a "buy" link is on the Mattel website that directs you to Walmart.
I felt the same, but according to the Mattel website it's a never seen before design. I guess that means it was never put into production. Who knows what the truth is? 🤷♀️
Hi, I have a question regarding polly pocket 1992 stampin school. Bought at garage sale. I can't get the polly pockets out of their school desk. Is this normal ?
I love it so much, the colors have been modernized without ruining the palette. The mermaids are gorgeous, I just wish the figures in the first set were just as good.
You go a lot off camera. I guess you are not used to showcase "through" camera. I made a 100 of Polly videos like this and you need to look through your camera while filming. So you really see what you show and what your viewers see. I know you can't see it so well through camera but you get used to it and then your showcase will be the focus point in the middle. Just a tip😉
I don't know why she films top-to-bottom instead of just straight ahead. It would be a lot easier for everyone. She could look through the camera without hunching over, not go off camera, and not have to constantly lift up some of the really big and heavy sets she showcases. Viewers don't get a good view of things a lot of the time, either because it's off camera or she doesn't hold it up to the camera close enough.

These are packaged so beautifully. I kept mine in the packages.

I've got my video filmed and it will be out in the next few days! :)
oh my goodness this is torture 😂😂 I'm just here waiting on the US release. But I'm still going to sit and watch you showcase this 😌💕
I know! A month later and still no word in the US
Royal Ball is an Amazon Exclusive. Mermaid Dreams comes up on Mattel website, but doesn't let you buy it. :(
Thank you your video is more thorough than the other out there and helped me decide whether to buy or not!
Hi from Canada if you buy from Walmart just make sure it is real Polly Pockets sometimes they sell fake ones.❤️❤️❤️

It is now august in the US and live in California. We are still unable to get The Polly Pocket Keepsake Mermaid Dreams Compact. Are you in the US?
Hi, will you be making a comparison video of the mermaid keepsake and the original one ?
omg I need the one with the sirens 😍. waiting for it to come out in Mexico
I definitely need the mermaid one!

I just found the mermaid one at Walmart today and could not leave the store without it lol
Was yours purple tails?
I’m not sure I believe the mermaid one is “from the vault” and not a new design. What do u think?
I felt the same, but according to the Mattel website it's a never seen before design. I guess that means it was never put into production. Who knows what the truth is? 🤷♀️
Is the mermaid set available in Canada? It's so adorable
I see a few comments saying it is available in Canada but I don't see it in any of my local toy stores.
Yes! I believe it is a Walmart exclusive
