HUGE Popeye FANatic! I’m picking up all of these and already have the first wave. My favorite is the B&W BBTS Popeye exclusive- it reminds me of Popeye from the old B&W Fleischer cartoons - those and the original Segar comic strip are my favorite versions of the sailor man! While I’m at it - reminding you to take us on a tour of your Pop’s Popeye collection. You two together is always welcome.
The Popeye movie with Robin Williams is very good and surprisingly true to the newspaper comics. I'd definitely recommend you give it a watch if you even like Popeye just a little. It's a shame the budget ran out for the finale, though.
I wonder if this line will continue past wave 2. I'm not a big Popeye fan, but I like the character designs and plan to get all the characters Boss Fight produces. These figures are a nice contrast to other lines I collect.
Good review! I went for the Dasin Model Popeye instead which wasn’t much more expensive. No removable hat on the Dasin version but it does have slightly better articulation, more hands, more headsculpts, a dumbbell and the spinach spray effect you described which sold it for me.
Are you saying you're gonna have an ALF on the shelf? when I was a kid in the 90s, they used to replay Popeye on Cartoon Network all the time. Popeye was never my absolute favorite or anything like that, but I did enjoy the cartoons when I was able to catch them. I'm not exactly sure these figures would be for me, but I do like them. I noticed two cat like creatures with Wimpy when you looked at the packaging, what were those things called again? Wait a minute Popeye had hair? After all these years, I never knew that. I thought he was bald. The reading of the blurb was great btw lol
If they had just done matte paint for the skin tone, these would have knocked it out of the park. I might watch for a sale, but the glossy faces aren’t really speaking to me.
Hey now, the Popeye movie is awesome! Is it kinda messy and weird, yes, but it have tons of off kilter charm and Ronin Williams is perfect. Just got Olive Oil waitin on Popeye before I crack em open
The Robin Williams Popeye movie was so stupid I feel in love with it when I was a kid. Watched it as an adult not to long ago lol wow did it lose its luster. Lol still good childhood memories.
I've went (nearly) all in on these Popeye figures. The only one I've not ordered was the B&W Popeye from BBTS. I've not had wave one ship yet, as I'm hoping to ship wave one and two together, if possible. I do have the 2 pack of Popeye and Bluto, but have not opened them (I'm debating leaving them in the package... but who knows). Go and watch the Robin Williams movie. And nice Jerry Reed shirt.
The hair is actually from the old Popeye E. C. Segar Sunday comic strips. I’m not sure why Fliesher/Famous studios removed this detail and made him bald and I personally think it’s weird that they elevated that detail from Popeye in the cartoon.
dude that Sinbad the Sailor episode is great. i used to love that Robin Williams Popeye movie as a kid, watched it as an adult and could not last through the dang thing. sooooo boring. kind of like the white suit Popeye
The movie was long and boring when I was a child. Only one real fight with Bluto. I revisited as an adult. It’s pretty good. Shelly Duvall was excellent and Robin Williams showed us he was more than Mork.
Probably not a good idea to tell people to put gel silica on top of a baked potato, without some sort of very clear notice or warning that it's just a joke and ⚠️ DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME ⚠️. Looking at a potential lawsuit there... and some poor kid(s) could die or at the minimum become very sick. 🤮

The blurb is phenomenal 😂😂
I actually like these more than I was thinking I would.
popeye first popped up in 1929 on a comic strip and in 1933 the first cartoons came out. you can still watch those old popeye cartoons on pluto tv.
Popeye first appeared in 1929 and Olive even earlier. And the cartoons started in 1933!
Hopefully the next wave will have Wimpy and the Sea Hag!
They are up for preorder!
I didn’t even know this was a thing but I love it, it was a great cartoon back in the day
I love these figures. My favorite part of todays video is you reading the boxes😂😂.
Cool figs and Jerry t shirt!
Kyle when u guys all hang out make sure Leonardo & Popeye hook up the spinach pizza 🍕 & keep ALF's ingredients out.
This first wave was available for $19.99 each on Amazon…gotta get a deal
Very cool, takes me back! :) I love hearing you read Popeye's language! ha ha

Kyle AAV Another Awesome 😎 Video love the Magnetic hats on Popeye and Sweet Pea

I’m into these now. I’ve got Popeye, Olive and Bluto, so far.
Good ole String Bean Boy He could Play Kyle 🪕

I want to see a comparison to the early 2000s popeye figure.
Lol might be one of the greatest blurbs in history.

Popeye came out in 1929
Yes i love popeye he started in 1930s
They look great! I just wish they cost $20.

Mezco did their version of Popeye and it is very unsettling. It's a nice figure but a little scary lol
Go watch the movie! 😂

The Popeye movie is not terrible and worth a watch.
He drinks the spinach through his pipe straw
I don’t recall that
