The thing about this popular toy from Mattel is that for the last 35 years, Polly PocketTM has always been, well, pocket-sized. But not this time! It’s like someone got a hold of Marvel’s Ant-Man technology to make a supersized version and Polly’s iconic home straight out of a ‘90s dream is open for an adventure of life-sized proportions, only on Airbnb in the US.
Take a look at what cosplayer and content creator Taya Miller says about it!
Located in the quaint town of Littleton, Massachusetts, Polly’s 42-foot-tall compact takes “tiny but mighty” to a new level. Guests can request to book one of three one-night stays occurring September 12 to 14 for four guests each, at $89us per person—a nod to Polly’s debut on the scene in 1989. As they step into Polly’s world, guests can:
- Explore every nook and cranny of the iconic compact, where a few hidden surprises await
- Get ready at Polly’s vanity, stuffed with nostalgic hair and nail accessories of her favourite colours. Did someone call for press on nails?
- Check out the retro fridge and craft the snack-filled picnic every ‘90s kid wanted
- Try on the doll life for size in Polly’s closet, where her most iconic throwback looks hang waiting to be worn in joyful hues and glossy silhouettes in the beloved signature gummy texture
- Kick back in the living room with some popcorn, a movie and plenty of pillows
- Doze off on Polly’s pullout couch or cozy up in her life-sized Action Park Tent just 10 feet away from the compact after filling up on slumber party fun
- Make custom, Polly-approved charm bracelets to match with your BFF

But keep in mind that you are responsible for your own travel to and from Littleton, Massachusetts, which might be a tad expensive if you are leaving from here in Australia. But hey.. what price can you put on nostalgia and fandom?
