Hands Up who played Pop Up Pirate as a child?

 


 
It was a game where you would have to try and stab a pirate who was hiding in a barrel with swords. I’m not sure what sort of message that was giving children at the time, maybe that’s why there is so much knife crime now. Often the game would make you jump out of your skin because you would be unaware when it would pop up and scare you.

 


 
Did you know it’s the 35th anniversary of Pop Up Pirate?. Well, you do now. Takara Tomy is displaying at Tokyo To Show 2010 a unique Pop-up the Pirate covered by crystal.

 
Also present were the year 2000 limited edition of Pop-up the Samurai and a Tweaked Pop-up the Pirate. 
Finally Takara Tomy is now introducing a new version of its “Adult” version of Pop-up the Pirate name Love Hige. Already introduced earlier this year in Japan this version of Pop-up the pirate will oblige you to do/ask what it is written on your plastic knife… Each participant will have a number of knife and each knife have something written on it, and if you happen to loose at this game you will then be oblige to either do something to someone else or tell the thru about yourself or your love life. Interesting!
