Aug 18, 2025 · 90s · 90s nostalgia · brick toys · collectible · game console · gameboy · nintendo

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the toy world lately, you might have seen buzz about a major brand planning to release their own handheld console brick set later this year. But why wait months when nostalgia is calling right now?

Popal is celebrating gaming history with not one, but two brick toy sets you can build and display today:

Popal Gaming Console Brick Figure

Popal Gameboy Toy

Both are built for fans who love retro gaming gifts, 90s nostalgia toys, and display-worthy collectibles that instantly transport you back to simpler times.

Why Retro Gaming Toys Are Back in Style

There’s something about the click-clack of buttons and the pixel glow of handheld screens that today’s ultra-polished consoles just can’t replicate. It’s clear that gaming nostalgia is bigger than ever. Popal captures that magic with high-quality builds, fan-first designs, and collector-friendly prices — making these sets a no-brainer for both seasoned brick builders and casual fans.

Step into gaming’s golden era with this cherry red console brick figurine. Measuring 9.9 cm tall with a compact 231-piece build, it captures that iconic flip-top vibe that feels like a mashup between 70s console aesthetics and 90s portable design.

Why fans love it:

  1. Authentic flip-top mechanism for display and play.
  2. Vivid retro red finish that pops on any shelf.
  3. Compact and collectible — looks great alongside other retro toys.

At just $19.99 (with free international shipping for a limited time), it’s a perfect entry piece for anyone building out their retro toy collection.
