Popple Anyone?

[lovesbabysquirmy]

I have a knock-off bunny popple (my mom says he's a real popple, but I can never find him on in any IDs, and he doesn't quite look the same), and hubby has the baseball (real) popple.

Maybe it's a French one - the Euro Popples had animals like "Cousins" as well!  Parrots and bunnies and dogs I think...

Ooooooh!  Some of my favorite childhood toys!  Here is my small Popple collection:

Wow, you have a good selection there!!! I have the girl rocker Popple, the smaller-size yellow one (Potato Chip) and a few of the Pocket Popples, which are really super sweet with their PVC faces and arms.

I used to have one. Wonder what happened to it?

I have Bibsy, bought him at a flea market a long time ago.  I actually like the rerelreased Popples, they're kinda cute.

Kiwi, it could be a real one. I know I've seen a dog one before.

I love Popples!
Here's my plush collection. Not the best pic of them. I looked for Pancake Popple for years and years and I finally found her at a local flea market that hubby talked me into going to I only paid $5 for her- I was so excited.

Here's the ones with poseables arms/legs. I am looking for the others if anyone has any for sale.

I bought some of the new releases from 2001, but I am going to try to sell them.

Almost forgot, I had a small yellow popple in the back window of my car. He was so cute and fuzzy, a puffing popple, potato chip (he was weird but so cute I wanted the world to see him). Then somebody broke into my car stole my seat covers and the Popple.

Nnnnooo!!!  You don't go around stealing people's Popples!  bad, bad thieves!

It is possible ...  I seem to recall that there were indeed also animal variations ...

No, mine doesn't really have that popple look (head is different). This is the closest I've found in Google searches, but still no real ID info.

I have a decent-sized Popples collection that I periodically think I'm going to sell or at least stop buying because I have very little nostalgic connection to them (unlike with MLP), but then I look at them and can't bring myself to sell them or pass them up when I find them second hand Thankfully I don't find them often.

They do seem to be hard to sell, but maybe I just haven't really found collectors. I have two for sale once I get around to it, so we'll see.

For Popples that were played-with, often the fur on the head gets pretty matted and that lowers the collectibility. Alternately, I think that people who collect vintage plush are fewer in number than collectors of other types of toys, simply because plush toys take up so much more space! I have really resisted the urge to get into collecting plush extensively. Of course, if I find something really good at the thrift store, it WILL come home with me

Yeah, that's definitely a problem with one of the ones I don't want anymore. I got him for 50c at a yard sale but it turned out I already had that one, also not in great shape.

I know ghost of the doll has a good guide for the, though they are in need of pictures of a few sets.

I still have my original white Popple. I think her name is Puffball. She's white with a blue tummy.

I really really really want the medium-sized green one with orange hair and I have been scouring thrift stores for decades...  oh the hunt!
