Zippo Lighters

There are two variations of the Popee the Performer Zippo lighters, a Popee and a Kedamono themed lighter. Both come in their own custom tin, which doubles as an ash tray. 
They were available from Curio-Cityhttps://web.archive.org/web/20021226171910/http://www.curio-city.com/kids-station/7009/69050.html as well as JEDIhttps://web.archive.org/web/20021210044612fw_/http://www.jedi-ltd.co.jp/popee.html and Kiddyland.https://web.archive.org/web/20020815095301/http://www.kiddyland.co.jp:80/order/eshop/shop.asp?shop=2&sname=%8eG%89%dd Only 1,000 of each lighter was made, and every lighter has a serial number that is unique, from 1 to 1,000.
The tin for the Kedamono lighter is almost the same as Popee's but instead of reading "Popee the Performer" it reads "Kedamono the Performer" and has a laughing Kedamono standing by the letters of "Popee" that he ripped off to replace with "Kedamono". 
The lighters themselves are decorated with each character, when the case is flipped up, their design changes. Popee's irises disappear into his head and Kedamono's mask changes expression from neutral to scared. 
They are officially branded Zippo lighters and are most likely made from brass—which is standard for Zippo lighters.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zippo#:~:text=Construction,-Zippo%20lighter%20fluid&text=The%20cases%20of%20Zippo%20lighters,the%20case%20is%20slightly%20convex. They were made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, like all Zippo lighters. On the bottom of each lighter, it says "ZIPPO©", "Bradford, PA" and "Made in the U.S.A.", followed by a "02" that likely stands for the year the lighters were manufactured in.
