New from BorgCo, made from plastic or papier-mache and ranging from life size down to about 100mm tall, these papal effigies are accurate depictions of the pontiff of your choice.

Just get a couple of the Cardinals lurking in the shadows to pull the strings, and the low-yield pyrotechnic gas generator (basically an airbag cartridge) fires, blowing off the mitre and discharging a welter of streamers, mottoes, and biretta-shaped paper hats.

Mottoes available in Latin, French, Polish, Italian or German (extracts from Mein Kampf) depending on Pope.

Some versions scatter toys and candy designed to attract children*.

*Not suitable for under-18s due to persistant rumours of sexual abuse.

       If it is indeed a "poper" then shouldn't it "pope" the party? I am imagining a plain box that shoots out crowns and staffs for the partygoers to catch.

       Personal hygene products are not normally used as filling; the standard mix consists of dust-sheets, brushes, and containers of lime-based surface coating, all essential items for those intent on covering up and whitewashing …
