The story of Peach Riot
Peach Riot was conceived by the artist Libby Frame: a fictional grunge band made up of three schoolgirls, each with her own distinct personality. The concept is fun, unapologetic and stands out from the rest of the more demure art toys. So, which team are you on? 🥁
Group members
- Gigi: vocals and guitar. The band’s pop star, always in the spotlight.
- Frankie: drums, and leader of the band. She sets the pace, both on stage and off.
- Poppy: bass and keyboards. The funkiest of the three.
Each series features the three girls in a new role, with roughly the same number of figures for each.
Peach Riot series you should know about
Our catalogue features 7 Peach Riot series.
Rise Up
The series featuring the band on stage: Gigi Pop Star, Gigi the Singer, Frankie Sick Beats, Frankie the Boss, Poppy Baddie on Bass, Poppy Electric Funk… The best place to start getting to know them.
Power Chords
The Peach Riot series is the one that features most often on your wishlists. 🔥 The three girls take on almost mythological roles: Gigi the Hunt, Gigi the Underworld, Frankie the Thunder, Frankie the Forger, Frankie the Harvest, Poppy the Sea, Poppy the Beauty… It’s like a punk version of Mount Olympus (well, that’s just how the names read to me – nothing official 😉). Right now, Poppy the Guardian is the figure most frequently added to your wishlists. It’s up to you to check if you’ve got a duplicate. 👀
Punk Fairy
The ‘Nature Fairies’ range: Frankie Sunflower, Gigi Mushroom, Poppy Strawberry, Poppy Acorn, Frankie Lily Pad… When punk meets the enchanted forest.
Rush Hour
The girls go from one odd job to the next: barista, mechanic, lifeguard, delivery driver, receptionist, scientist, diner waitress… The most ‘slice-of-life’ series.
Lil Peach Riot
The mini version, which is even cuter: Loading, Sleepover and Holiday Mixtape, for the festive season.
Where to start your Peach Riot collection
The most logical place to start is Rise Up: there you’ll meet Gigi, Frankie and Poppy in their core roles. After that, the most fun is following ‘your’ favourite character from series to series. And if you like bold themes, Power Chords is the most spectacular. (To make sure you’re buying from the right place, have a look at where to buy blind boxes in France.)
What about your duplicate Peach Riot figures?
With three characters and several figures per series, you’ll soon end up with duplicates. And there’s a good chance someone’s looking for ‘their’ Poppy or ‘their’ Frankie: have a look at your matches – you might be in for a nice surprise. 😉
