And you're right, when I was little I had the old Polly and the amount of clothes I had for these dolls surpassed any other brand.

Also not sure how they did that, but since it was probably done by a machine, I imagine it would be easy for any little kink in the system to cause a hitch and make it skip a row. And since it's really subtle looking, I think it'd be easy for quality control to overlook it. :P<br /><br />Hope your new doll arrives Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839805418529871239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-22948554473013812242015-05-06T17:25:29.326-04:002015-05-06T17:25:29.326-04:00Unless it was an imitation brand, those are probab...Unless it was an imitation brand, those are probably Polly Pockets too.
