Polly Pocket Core Compact: Glitter Axolotl

The Glitter Axolotl is a Polly Pocket Core Compact, the format where a small case opens out into a play scene and closes again for travel.

Polly Pocket has been running since the late eighties, and the compacts are the part of the brand people remember, largely because they fit in a coat pocket and survive being carried everywhere. The current Core Compact range keeps that idea and builds each one around a shape, in this case an axolotl, the pink Mexican salamander that has become a fixture of children's toy design over the last few years.

It suits collectors of the compacts and children who like small worlds they can take with them.
