In 1983 Chris Wiggs created Polly for his daughter Kate with the idea of creating a toy tiny enough to fit into a pocket. Using a powder compact, he created a tiny house for the teensy doll. Wiggs licensed the product through Bluebird Toys of Swindon, England and Polly Pocket first appeared in stores in 1989.

This colorful limo comes loaded with accessories for the included Polly Pocket doll. The limo is no ordinary ride, it sure is different! Place the Polly Pocket doll (sans clothing) into the driver's seat, load up the fashions into their slot, and roll the vehicle along. Voila, the doll emerges from the back of the limo fully dressed! It's a novel idea, and young kids will really enjoy toying around with the Polly Pocket doll and her magnetic accessories.
