 Display box for Cutie-Fruity Popples. (When did Popples grow antenna?) |
 UK catalog for Basic & Charm Popples. |
| Cutie-Fruity Popples | ||||
| These are the first wave of new Popples put out by Toymax in 2001. Each on is a clip-on and is about 4″ tall. They are based on absolutely nothing though they look a little like the old Popples.
Each Popple has a stem or flower on its head, leaf ears, a colored belly, a small embroidered fruit on left-side of its chest, and its name embroidered on the outside of its pouch. Their pouches are very hard to flip out. They are available at K-B Toys near the cash register in the candy section for $3.99 each. They are also available at some Hot Topic stores.

| Snoozy-Time Popple | ||||
| The Snoozy Time Popple has multiple star-shaped lights on his body that light up when you press his hand.

| Popples Bank | ||||
| The new Popples Bank is 9″ tall and also has its name embroidered on its left foot. There is a place to put money in on the back of the head and a zipper on the bottom to get the money out. I found only one in existence so far and strangely enough, it has the same name as one of the Basic Popples but looks nothing like it.

| Electronic Popple (unreleased) | ||||
| This Popple’s photo was circulated in 2001 and advertised to be sold during Christmas 2001 but it was never released that we know of.

I like these, actually. They’re less chunky than the Mattel originals.
That said, I also cannot say when popples grew antennae, or for what purpose they did. ^^
