A new figurine for Poppy Playtime has revealed a rather terrifying truth about the protagonist - the player character doesn't actually have any facial features. The Poppy Playtime-branded merchandise is slowly piling up, with new collectible items more regularly coming to the forefront. Since the first game's release in October 2021, several pieces of Huggy Wuggy merchandise has gone on sale, including a plush toy, posters, and t-shirts. The newest monster, Mommy Long Legs, has received her own plush toy, as well.
MOB Games' Poppy Playtime tasks players with exploring Poppy Playtime Co., an abandoned toy factory filled to the brim with a special brand of horrors. These scares rear their heads thanks to creepy toys come to life. The aforementioned Huggy Wuggy served as the big bad of the original game, its blue fur and wild teeth proving to be the stuff of nightmares. With Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 now available to purchase, fans can now experience a new set of scares, many of which will likely stem from encounters with Mommy Long Legs.
Recently, Youtooz Collectibles unveiled new Poppy Playtime merchandise that will become available to pre-order in a few days on March 10. The collectible items in question include figurines for Poppy, Huggy Wuggy, and the Player, all of which stand just over four-inches tall. Interestingly, one somewhat terrifying detail, in particular, has sparked quite a bit of buzz - the player character has no face. Apart from its yellow test dummy-like body and blue and red heads, the Poppy Playtime Player bears no distinguishable features. This now-confirmed fact disturbs some fans and upsets others, with those in the latter group feeling as though the character design borders on "lazy."
This strange revelation does not seem to have slowed the excitement for Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 or the upcoming figurines, each of which will cost $29.99. Fans who purchase the new merchandise can expect their items to ship from Youtooz Collectibles between August 15 and September 15, according to the product listings.
Though the first part launched roughly seven months ago, Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 hit PC today, May 5. Players who may have missed out on the previous release are in luck, too. In addition to rolling out the latest chapter, MOB Games announced that all Steam players can now access the original Poppy Playtime for free. This low barrier to entry will apparently remain intact forever, based on a Twitter post from the development team.
Pre-orders for the new Poppy Playtime collectibles go live on May 10.
