Description: Bubble Blowing Popeye from Linemar Co. of Japan is one of the most sought after bubble blowing toys. He has five actions: As his pipe is raised it lights up red. His mouth opens, lifting the bubble wand out of the solution in his mouth, and Popeye blows air that creates bubbles. His left arm raises so Popeye can get his spinach. It is a wonderful toy and highly sought after by toy collectors.
