I sent you a friend request on Gameloft, StarlightGaze! I hope you don't mind

If anyone else could use another friend there, please feel free to add me! I only just joined, under the same name I use here

Well, it kind of depends, I guess. Compacts with the dolls and accessories they came with are the most sought after. Empty compacts are still collectable, of course, but they don't have anywhere near the value of complete sets. The dolls and accessories (especially the accessories, since they're hard for non-collectors to ID as being PP accessories, unlike the dolls, which are pretty well-known) are so tiny, they often were lost. So empty compacts are pretty common.

In other words, I think any PP collector who doesn't have those compacts would WANT them, but they're not really worth a lot, money-wise.

The first one I bought was SS Frankie. I first was drawn in by seeing the B&W Frankie convention doll and thought, "Wow. An entirely grayscale doll. THAT'S neat." but I figured she'd be hella-expensive, so I just didn't give it much thought. Then I saw they had a basic grayscale Frankie on Amazon for $12... and I had to have her. And, of course, since I was getting one... I got SS Draculaura and RM Lagoona, too. My unique grayscale doll had to have friends, after all!

RM Lagoona was the first one I deboxed, though... so in a way, she feels like my first. But technically, SS Frankie was the one that sucked me in

I did some looking around for you and found the Wizard of Oz set those two dolls belong to! It was an entire playset made in 2001 by Turner Entertainment Co. The playset consisted of ALL the parts of Oz: Munchkinland, the yellow brick road, the witch's castle, Emerald City, etc, all in one big unit with opening parts. It came with all of the main characters and three munchkins (10 dolls total).

So basically, it's NOT a Polly Pocket toy, but a Wizard of Oz toy done in the Polly Pocket style (basically, a copy - but with collector value, due to the subject matter). Hope that helps!

The ski lodge and the pink compact are both vintage Polly Pockets! Ski Lodge is from 1993 and the pink compact is a Partytime Surprise from 1989 (when the line started! ) The doll in the top of the compact isn't the one that came with that compact, nor is it one of the dolls from the ski lodge, but the image is too small for me to identify which doll it is.

I don't recognize the Wizard of Oz dolls or the Polly Pocket set on the right, because I only collect the initial compact releases of PP from 1989-1997ish. I haven't followed the line at all after that, so the playset on the right is definitely AFTER 1997 and the Wizard of Oz dolls would be, too, if they're Polly Pocket's at all. (Sorry, I know that's not too helpful!)

The mini Barbie in the third picture looks like a McDonald's Barbie to me... and the other mini Barbie might be one, as well, but I don't know for sure. I'm certain a Barbie collector will know better

But I'm sure on those PP compacts - very nice finds!

Oh, I've been so excited for these and now seeing them put together, they're even better than I'd hoped!!! I love that Mattel is even including plastic hair along with the wig - and both hairstyles look GREAT on the finished dolls! I'd been worried they would look tacky, but I think they actually have more spunk and personality than if Mattel had just put 2 wigs in the sets.

If anyone wants to split the mummy/gorgan set let me know. I am after the mummy girl. I would wanna keep the dress she is wearing but that's it.

I'd actually be interested in this, as I want the Gorgon without really wanting the Mummy. Unfortunately, my finances are pretty bad, so I don't know when I could afford it, even at half.

I'm still new to MH collecting, so this is how I'm collecting for now. I plan to continue collecting that way, but I guess I'll see how it goes!

Although I already have 2 exceptions to the rule...

My current Frankie is the B&W SS one, so I feel like she doesn't count as an actual Frankie. She's more of a variant, so some day I want a Frankie with the proper coloring.

My current Ghoulia is the Roller Maze one - which I never really planned to get, as I go for the most pleasing rendition of the character (to me) and I much prefer her without the green in her hair. However, I happened to find her MIB on eBay for $5 (including shipping), so how could I resist her??

Frankie and Ghoulia aren't on my short list of characters to get for now, since I do have them (and am missing SO many others!), but I do plan on getting more traditional versions of them later!
