The hype may be all about Barbie these days but this equally beloved toy line deserves some time in the spotlight too. Polly Pocket is the name synonymous with the tiny treasure trove of compact sets in the shape of hearts, stars and shells. There’s something delightfully nostalgic about those pint-sized worlds that Polly Pocket and her friends inhabit.While on the topic of friends, take a trip down memory lane with this collector’s Polly Pocket that recreates the famous Central Perk cafe in the sitcom Friends. The compact is even in the shape of a coffee cup.

Another popular miniature line is the Sylvanian Families – famous for the cute animal families sold in sets. The best part about buying a dollhouse is that you can fill it in with furniture. Unfortunately, you have to purchase that separately hence there goes all your adult money…
