Octorok Popper Zelda GameStop Figure

So what’s poppin? It’s the highly elusive Oktorok Popper by @gamestop. I’ve gotten a hold of one and it’s time to check it out. Will it pop into your wishlist or implode into distant memory? Possibly the latter, as this hot little toy has proven difficult to find. Only just appearing in late September and early October, a handful of GameStop’s under 4,500 stores got one. In my area in Central Indiana, only 2 stores got them out of around 10. I sighed in relief when my buddy @thesquarescreen sent me a selfie posing with it, informing me he’d found one for me. It arrived in the mail the following day. To my surprise the thing is much heftier and heavier than I thought. I carefully cut it out of its bubble and admired its vivid red color and smelled its fresh waft as it escaped the packaging. The sculpt of the figure is on point with just its glossy white paint being off here and there. I don’t mind it because this is typical in soft vinyl toys with a gimmick purpose such as a popper. As its name suggests, this Octorok shoots balls by using pressure when it’s body cavity is compressed. It does take a bit of force to shoot out the ball, but it’s ever so satisfying when it does, creating a deep popping sound as it shoots. The figure can potentially provide hours of entertainment with 3 soft tennis-like balls, but it also displays and photographs nicely. Standing at around 4” there’s not a chance it will scale with any link figure. Overall, I have no complaints for this fun toy other than being able to find one, which is not an issue with the toy, but with its distributor. I give it 5 out of 5 stars, you have to get it!
