BOP BAG
- Manufactured By:  Imperial Toys (Product NO. 7269)
- Manufactured In:  Taiwan
- Copyright Date: 1986
- Complete Set:  6
- Details:  One of the toughest items to come by is the Bop Bag. These 48" inflatable vinyl bags were released in 1986 as part of Imperial Toys massive GPK-themed toyline. The bags inflated to show one of 6 different 1st or 2nd series characters 'coming out' of a grey trash can. The bottom of the bag is weighted so it would bounce back when you punch it. The box features the complete set on the front, and the character inside the box on the back. As I stated before, these are some of the hardest items to locate - and are rarely seen in this condition. I am proud to have the Adam Bomb Bop Bag as part of my collection.

- I also have in my collection an extremely rare magazine advertisement for the Imperial Toy Bop Bags. It appeared in 'Toy Trade' magazine's 'Highlights' edition back in February of 1987. The advertisement features two children in front of the entire lineup of Imperial Toy Bop Bags. Also on the ad is the logo for numerous products featured on the bags (Battle Beasts, etc). Garbage Pail Kids apparently weren't enough of a draw to have their logo featured, however if you look closely over the boys right shoulder, you will see the Bony Joanie Bop Bag! This is an extremely rare piece of GPK Memorabilia and I'm proud to have it in my collection.
