Title: Puppy in my pocket?
Post by: Nella on September 15, 2018, 12:03:58 AM
Are there puppy in my pocket collectors over here? I recently found out who they are but have no clue how to ID them (I have a few of them).

The ones from the 90s or the modern ones? I collect 90s Kitty in my Pocket and know a bit about the 90s puppies as well.

The 90s ones are plastic, the modern ones are fuzzy a bit like Sylvanian Families/So Soft ponies.

http://www.90sinmypocket.com/ - this website is good for IDing the 90s ones.
https://justplayproducts.com/brands/puppy-pocket/ - this is the website for the present day ones, although I think they only show puppies that are currently available.

If you have some photos to post, I might know who they are :)

If it's the 90s ones I might be able to help. I used to collect them. (Still sort of do).

Hereby a picture. There is at least one other dog, a doberman (standing), which we couldn't find.

I can see:
Duchess the Rottweiler (back row, second from right)
Bruno the Boxer (in front of the poodles)
Trusty the St. Bernard (just in front of Duchess)
Jessie the Bloodhound (far right next to the ginger cat)
Bella the Collie (laying down; she would have originally come in a set with puppies)
Chi Chi the Pekinese (next to Bella)
Beamish the English Setter (next to Chi Chi)
Pixie the Yorkshire Terrier (in a shoe)
Pepper the Dalmatian (the bigger Dalmatian; like Bella, she would have had puppies originally)
Winston the English Bulldog (front left)

The little Dalmatian with a collar and the dog with the red collar and one grey ear are from a 101 Dalmatians set; not sure if it was an official Disney set or just one of those many knock-off 'Dalmatian Families' sets that used to pop up in the mid 90s.
The three poodles all look familiar, I think I owned ones like them at some time. I think the white one might be an Early Learning Centre animal? If so, she probably has AAA stamped on her somewhere.
The sleeping ginger cat looks like a random china/ceramic cat. The white cat with its mouth open looks familiar, it might be from the In My Pocket Animal Hospital line, I remember some playsets with animals and bottles.
I don't recognise the others, but hopefully that helps.

Oh, one last thing. Puppy in my Pocket is one of those lines where the characters have different names in the UK and the US (why do you do this to us, toy companies??). I use the UK names because I grew up with them and can't remember the US ones :) .

Thank you so much! This really helps. And price-wise? I have a bit too many collections and this is one I wouldn't mind to sell on ;).

I'm not an expert on prices, sorry. They don't tend to sell for big money, I think I've paid about £2 per kitty in the past when I was actively collecting.
