Remember the spinach-loving sailor from your childhood? Popeye is back — not in a cartoon this time, but as a magnificent building set! The Pantasy 86402 Popeye Treasure Hunt Steamship brings classic nostalgia and steampunk creativity together in one stunning collectible model.
⚙️ A Steamship Full of Character
The ship’s design perfectly captures the quirky charm of Popeye’s universe — from the short, full hull and sturdy chimney to the spinach-powered propeller at the stern. At the bow, a huge pipe assembled from wheels and tubes immediately draws the eye, adding that signature cartoonish energy. Every inch of the model feels alive with movement and personality.
The set includes beautifully detailed minifigures, including Popeye and Olive Oyl (custom-molded), bringing life to this steampunk adventure vessel.
🛠️ Ingenious Mechanical Details
Turn the knobs,
and you’ll see the steam pipes and propellers rotate in sync — a clever linked-motion design that’s rarely seen in brick models. The crane arm can rotate 180°, and the mini lifeboat can be raised or lowered with smooth precision.
Open the hull, and you’ll discover two hidden interior scenes:
-
A gym and storage area, complete with Popeye’s workout bench and tools.
-
A spinach production line, where cans spin when you rotate the side gears — a fun nod to Popeye’s unstoppable strength.
🔩 Exquisite Craftsmanship
Almost all printed parts (only three stickers in total!) and a wealth of metallic components give the model a premium feel. The chimney’s gear chains, pressure valves, and boiler controls all feature intricate printed details. There’s even a small clock on the wall and a “Strong” print showing Popeye and Olive together — a heartfelt touch that ties the theme beautifully.
The boiler room includes an opening furnace door, shovels, pipes, pressure gauges, and ladders — every component thoughtfully placed. You’ll even find a spinach can thruster at the back, designed like a mini rocket engine!
📖 A Build to Remember
The building experience is as delightful as the finished model. Pantasy includes two well-designed instruction books, filled with illustrated tips that make the process enjoyable for builders of all levels. The large hull pieces ensure a solid base, while the upper structures add rich layers of color and complexity.
The set measures an impressive 56.8 × 20.8 × 48.6 cm (22.4 × 8.2 × 19.1 in) — a true display centerpiece that commands attention in any collection.
🌊 A Tribute to Adventure
As Pantasy puts it: “If everything went smoothly, it wouldn’t be called a treasure hunt.”
This set embodies that spirit — unexpected details, moving parts, and nostalgic storytelling all wrapped into one.
For fans of Popeye, vintage cartoons, and steampunk aesthetics, the Popeye Treasure Hunt Steamship is easily one of the top collectible brick sets of the year.
