Here in The Netherlands those fuzzballs with feet where called Wuppies and I remember they where around Carnaval (40 days before Easter, the fasting time of the Catholic Church) and everyone had those critters on their costume or hats!A Dutch singer (Vader Abraham real name: Pierre Kartner) even made a song about them translated *We are The Wuppies* here in The Netherlands, but he had many songs made with the Wuppies in Germany!!!!Here is a link to a German song:Father Abraham had Seven Sons / Seven Wuppies! :-)))https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCUp-sUxIew

I'm actually surprised some folk in the UK don't remember these. My sister had one or two when she was younger and we used to see them at carboot sales. Definitely called Popples here too. I don't remember the animation though. I think I have seen the little ones, and I can totally see them as fluffly Bushwoolies xD.

Pierre is a famous Dutch songwriter also!And we had in those times also Dennie Cristianie (SP?) with the Marsupulamie!!!! A yellowish with black stripes stripfigure with a very long tail!!!But I do not know if this strips where also available in America...*Sigh...bring back so many memories from my childhood...*
'chaotic neutral Care Bears' is probably the best description of Popples I've come across. Accurate.I had Puzzle Popple as a kid and he was great - plush version of a chain mace when you whipped him around by his tail.

I might have seen them second-hand but not known what they were.They made a small comeback around 2003ish, and now they have a mediocre Netflix show, but it's entirely possible the merch didn't make it to your area or it didn't catch your attention.
Quote from: gabumon on December 18, 2018, 08:32:45 PMfun idea!i have a little white popple that size!The white one is Puffball, she hates getting dirty but likes playing practical jokes. I especially love the episodes where they try to make Billy unafraid of the dentist by going along with him to have his teeth cleaned and they trash the dentist office, and the one where Billy doesn't want to take out the trash so they build a GIANT machine in the backyard to transport the trash to the bins...which blows up and creates a giant mess in the backyard. (Okay so all the episodes had the same plot, in which the Popples' human friends have some issue, the Popples try to help and make a giant mess, and then they have to clean it all up by the end before anyone else arrives and spots them.)-walks off muttering- The new Popples don't even have names that start with 'P' I just don't understand it...
