- Popples
Popples was a series of fictional characters created by
Those Characters From Cleveland (TCFC), a subsidiary company ofAmerican Greetings , and the plush toys were manufactured byMattel . Produced in the 1980s, these toys resemble brightly coloredteddy bear s orrabbit s (but with long tails with pom-poms on the tip), and have pouches on their backs that can be inverted, so they are "in" the pouches and resemble brightly colored balls.A revival is currently being attempted by
Playmates Toys (who are also the current makers of toys featuring another American Greetings property,Strawberry Shortcake ), however this rendition (which currently only has four characters with names ending in "popp") is significantly different from the original 1980s incarnation (which had various different characters with names beginning with "P").Other merchandise
