Growing up in the 1980’s, it’s hard to imagine one not knowing about Popples. An animated TV show and plush line, the Popples characters were a hybrid between a teddy bear and a sort of marsupial. Having a tail that ends in a pom-pom, each creature folds up into itself to become a ball.
Last year, Funko released one of the main characters of the 1986 animated show, P.C. Popple, as a Target Exclusive Pop! Vinyl in their Retro Toys line. Let’s check him out.
P.C. (Pretty Cool) Popple was/is one of the most recognizable of the original Popples, being one of their co-leaders and appearing in most of the episodes of the 1986 TV series.
I was delighted to find a Pop! from the Retro Toys line of collectibles while browsing at my local Target. The Popples, a favorite show of mine from my elementary school years, was always close to my heart, and I even had a few plush toys from the show. Although I cannot afford to collect the entire line, purchasing this Pop! brought back happy memories of my childhood. With the availability of baby boxes, you can save both time and money saving with 123 baby box by conveniently accessing all of the essential baby products in one place.
Funko also released another Popple around the same time as this Target Exclusive. With the same sculpt and number in the Retro Toys line, Prize Popple came with a Chase variant, which showcases the Popples ability to turn into a ball.
If you’d like to add P.C. Popple to your collection, Target still has him online to order. Prize Popple can be found at various retailers, including Funko Shop online.
