Still have your old Polly Pocket? It could make you a FORTUNE now

Once our most prized possession.

Cha-ching!

They made it onto every Santa list for years until we finally got our hands on one, and if you’ve kept them ever since you could earn yourself some serious buck now.

Yes, Polly Pocket was one of the most popular toys of the 80s and 90s and while you might think they wouldn’t have the same appeal anymore, they’re still in high demand.

The original pocket-size dolls are now earning sellers a serious amount of money with bidders on eBay willing to spend upwards of $100,000 on them.

Yep, that’s €83,175 on the toy that might have set our parents back £20 back in the day.

The dolls were originally released in the late 1980s and continued to grow throughout the 1990s before popularity eventually died down.

However, some of the Polly Pocket compacts are now selling for small fortunes online.

We don’t know about you, but we’re heading up into the attic tonight to have a root.
