Can Someone Help ID doll stuff?

Is any of this official Barbie or something?

The little baby bears are from Calico Critters!

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!

They beat me too it, but yes Ski Lodge is PP. It's the one I had when I was little.

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!

Oh, how neat!  Thank you so much! Are the Polly Pockets sought after?

[astroasis]

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.
