Some weird and funny little things came out of the 60's. Popsies are one of my favorite bizarro trends from the mid century. Developed in Japan in 1963, these pop-up toys were only made for about a decade and then disappeared. I've learned approximately 175 different styles were made. All are quite odd/funny looking and sarcastic in tone.
Here are 3 I picked up at the estate sale a few weeks back that had the Paul Laszlo tables. I spotted these Popsies in one of the pictures posted online, sitting next to a couple of Matryoshka dolls. At the time I did not know what they were but I knew I wanted them because I like little weird chotchkie things. I got mine for $3 each. I see they can go for $50 up to $150 if still in the box.
