Poppels for 2015?

[melodys_angel]

Actually, I don't think those are too bad.  Just 'modernized' with todays kids in mind.

I agree though, the plush HAS to be really fuzzy for it to work.

Oh my god I'm so excited

[Prideth]

Are those popples taking selfies with a fuzzy phone?  KIDS THESE DAYS.

Anyway, I may withhold judgement until I see them.  I really liked the 80's popples, and I'd be interested to see what the new ones look like.

The designs are cute- although I really like the originals too.  I loved my Popple.  I think they were pretty gender neutral in the 80s- except for a few of the overly pink ones (like mine actually)

The artwork is kinda cute, but they just don't look like Popples! But if you remember the old TV show, if some Popples got a hold of someone's phone, horrible things are going to happen...

Wait were popples marketed toward girls? Weird, I always thought they were of those sets of toys that all little kids had. Like the "pillow pets". Are pillow pets marketed toward a specific gender and I didn't know it?

I agree with True that alot of toys are all blending together, one toy becomes popular with its 'new' style then everything else jumps on board. I believe thats why the g3.5s look the way they do, they were trying to match littlest petshop, bratz, and all the other big head little body toys that were out around that time. Honestly I get a little angry when I see people who like the big headed littlest petshop toys but hate on g3.5.... they're the same thing....

There 80's ones were neutral and appealing to everyone, they had a geate variery of color convos and lots of boy and girl popples, but with 2007 ones there were only 4 with chibi looking artwork, 3 of them with pink purple pastel color scheme ( the purple being some sort of sparkly princess) being girls and i think there was a boy popple that had horns and was michievous... It looked kind of girl marketed to me :p

Yeah i think is just the way style is defined on each era, at the 80s most cartoons have a similar style, late 80s too with all things hanna barbera, the early 90s had a crazy wombly style specially seen on rugrarts, hey harnold, ah monsters, rocko modern life  and more, early 2000 had bubble head style on one side but the " geometry" of house for imaginart friends, fairy odd parents, mlp also falls in that style... Or thats how it looks to me.
I thought the new trend would be the adventure time style but it doesnt seem the case.

I see a big difference in style.  The petshop toys have more rounded sleek head shapes with bigger eyes that I think work with the big head look better than the lumpy g3.5 heads.  Plus they have much smaller bodies.  The 3.5 ponies look like they can't decide if they want to have big heads or normal heads.  This is just my opinion and reasoning for why I think most LPS animals are cute and the g3.5s are not.  Although the LPS ponies are not my favorite of their creatures either.

At least they don't have weird antannea like things sticking  out of their heads like the 2007 ones did.. But yeah, still like the 80s ones

I hope the plushes are cute.  The drawing is cute, but kind of . . . generic-cute?  Like, I wouldn't actually have recognized those as popples if it weren't in a popple related thread.

I definitely agree. Popples' signature thing is their pouches, but we can't see that! These just look like any other knock-off cutesy thing trying to ride the pony train right now.

[kaoskat]

Too cute! I want the pink and white one!

[DazzleKitty]

The art is colorful and cute. I'm curious to see what the actual product will look like.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

OMG adorable!  I love them!  I was only able to get one Popple in the re-release.  And I only have a few left to complete my standard collection from the 80's.

[Majesty]

I had a white popple in the 80's. I think it had blue and red hair or something like that.  I really wish I kept mine.  I got rid of pretty much all my vintage stuffed animals.  *smacks 80's self*

[Snix]

Meh, i don´t like it too much...like the originals from the 80s...no one.

Sigh...i miss the old Party...
