It's a simple gimmick, but the way the tank actually flips over is dynamic and you can feel the fun of Marx's ideas. The small size of the detailed print of popeye and tank printed on the entire surface is so complete that you wouldn't expect it to be a flat-centered tinplate. "Don't miss the brave popeye depicted in the box picture."
Popeye Tank is a popular series (Koshizaki) that sells silver and blue tanks, as well as green tanks sold during the Marx period, non-character soldiers with the same mechanism, and tanks printed with characters such as Superman, Flintstone, and Casper.
