Remember this cartoon? I have a copy of two episodes on VHS.

I remember the dolls were everywhere too. I found one at the Thrift Store the other day.

Any fun memories with the Popples?:D

    I don't remember the Popples super well, but I had and more than likely still have Popples brand band-aids. I recently watched an episode of the Popples and they more or less were really annoying through the whole thing. They still are cute little buggers though. ;P

      I only remember seeing the live action show once. I have the soccer ball, brother had the basketball, and sister had the rock star popple.

        This was one of the few shows I hated as a kid. My wife loves them however.

          Being reminded of one episode (because the Popples have this ability to bring out stuff from behind their backs like all cartoon cliches) where a fourth wall gag involved part of the cartoon itself suddenly tearing apart from a vacuum, leading to one of the Popples to have to repaint it back up again or whatever, then painting a "Hi" in front of the screen before it disappears. Never much cared fot this show at all but I had one of those plushies.

            i loved those things! we didn't have any of the episodes one tape (which is kind of strange for us) but we had some of the stuffed animals and my friend had Popples bedsheets

                Yes, I had three Popples poseable figures when I was like 7, Putter, Prize and Cribsy. I liked the Popple toys, but I think I only saw a few episodes of the TV show, and while I might have liked it a bit, it was certainly not my favorite. I checked out a few episodes on Youtube again and they are so predictable. The Popples appear in the everyday lives of these two kids, and through being too playful, they make a mess all around them, which they clean up afterwards. Almost like "The Cat in the Hat" being the

                Here is "Pop-paring for bed", the episode I remember best

                And here is "Panic at the Library". Not a drastic difference IMO.

                I do remember Punky and Punkity too. I kind of liked this one scene where they start their music and IIRC Putter starts dancing along. I don't recall in what episode this was.

                I recall these "Sports Popples" toys, kind of a cool gimmick:
