"Popples can be turned
inside out to make children laugh! These soft loveable
creatures can be changed from fluffy balls to furry
friends...and back again! They're soft, silly and they
love to be popped in and out of their pouches!"
Popples started life
characters in a Saturday morning cartoon that aired
in the USA in 1986. The characters were created by Those
Characters From Cleveland (TCFC), a subsidiary company
of American Greetings, and the plush toys were manufactured
by Mattel from 1986-88. Popples became so popular that
hoards of accessories were also produced.
Popples, like several other toys from
the 1980's, have been re-issued. They were firstly re-released
in 2001 by Toymax, then again in 2007 by Playmates Toys
and yet again by Furyu in 2009.
