I think I had almost everyone that was ever made!! I could fill a room with all my popples!! I LOVED them!! But sadly, I think my mother sold them all at a yard sale shortly after I moved out!!! I wish I still had them! I've tried to look for them, but they are so hard to come by!!

I loved Popples too! I actually was able to get my hands on one not too long ago. My other half got it for me for Christmas. I had wanted one for such a long time... I used to have one back when I was a child in Saskatchewan but sadly, I had to leave it behind when I moved away from there. We kind of had to leave a lot of stuff behind. I'll say this, that's one thing I wish I would have grabbed it before we left.
I had wished I could get a replacement Popple for the longest time but I had no real idea on where to look until I was on eBay with my other half and we found one that was owned by a gentleman in Winnipeg. We contacted him about purchasing it and he was very nice to us. We ended up buying it and it showed up about three days later. I didn't actually see it for about a month until I opened the present up at Christmas. I was so happy to have finally gotten my hands on one.
It's a really nice one too. I think this guy had two or three more and one was yellow and pink...I was going to get it but I figured one was enough for now. The one I have now looks a bit like the one I used to have in Saskatchewan while I was growing up. It kind of makes me feel like I was reclaiming a part of my childhood that had been lost.
I would like to get a few more Popples but there's a lot of things from my childhood I never got to have and I'd kind of like to make up for that now. I never had an Easy Bake oven and I've always wanted one of those. I remember another toy from my childhood which was a small stuffed cat who gave birth to s few little kittens. It was kind of like Pound Puppies but cats instead.
So, in conclusion, I hope I've given you at least one idea of a place to go to find a Popple so you can start a collection of your own. I know I was happy as heck when I finally got mine. I just hope it's as easy for me to find those other childhood toys I'm looking for as it was to get the Popple.
Thanks for allowing me this opportunity to share! xx

I remember Popples. I only had one as a child. I have a whole bunch now that I went crazy and bought on ebay. I'm only missing the green one and the orange one.

I DO! I DO! I have very very fond memories of Popples. They were one of my daughters favorites. She and I would watch the cartoons together, and she had them all. She doesn't have hers anymore either, sadly. Thank you for a really beautiful memory.
