    Nothing says lovin'...

    like something from the oven. Was doing some random searches on eBay and ran into this little guy. I've no recollection of this version of Poppin' Fresh, but found it irresistible. They made it so he pops out of the can, just like a Pillsbury product should!







    And in action. Sorry, it's video from my phone.

    I come across the vinyl ones all the time. Currently have a few I need to move.

    If you're into advertising toys, I just got a huge lot, mostly stuffed, but a few vinyl.

      Such an iconic character! I used to have him on my key-chain. I remember one of the supermarket chains (Safeway?) had a promotion where you could get a vinyl in store, and we were in a motor-home travelling Canada and checking in different places to find one for me. One supermarket had a bin with all Pillsbury Doughgirls but none of the little fella!

        I had the little vinyl guy when I was little, and I found him at a toy show a few years back. He's so cute!

          I love Advertising Vinyl. I have one of the Trix Rabbit, and one of Sprout from Green Giant.

            I had the 7" vinyl when I was young, and have two now. They are ubiquitous for people our age. I vaguely remember the other characters as well as the finger puppets. They seem to go for a little higher premium than ol' Poppin' Fresh here. The little one in the can is blow-molded plastic and about half the size of the vinyl figure.

            I've got a Sprout, too, but would be interested in what else you have Timelord.

                Big Boy was another favorite. I gave my last one away to my nephew. I think it became a dog toy after that.
