I have a real soft spot for these lures, it's a shame that they are not more widely available in anything other than the bream focussed range around the area where I live. Here's a couple of Pop'N'Dives that I grabbed out of some specials bins near the QLD border.
 
 
 
Here's a BB I scored as well.
Hi I'm Ropes and I'm addicted to fishing lures.

I've got no idea but I buy everyone I find. The Pop'N'Dives are soft lures as well.
 
I wonder if these soft lures deteriorate like the early Ploppys? I remember Peter Newell telling me about the problems they had developing "stable" Ploppys.

Ropes
the Koolabung were "carved from foam"
the ploppy's were "poured from liquid" that had to set.

Found a few more softies myself, the fun bit is that I found them in a bundle of lures I acquired some time ago but had not catalogued yet. I'm a little behind.
Here's a softie fizzer
