	In early pitches, Popov Factory was designed as the third story mode theme for LittleBigPlanet 2. Its name refers to the [[Meanies#Development\|~~Popovs~~]], the main antagonistic faction that would later become the [[meanies]]. Popov Factory's theme was derived from early industrial steam-powered technology; consistent with other themes initially planned for LittleBigPlanet 2, Popov Factory followed the design direction of "science through the ages".<ref name="kennyYoung"></ref> Though less so early on, Popov Factory had thematic overlap with [[Victoria's Lab]], which led to many elements from the prior theme being merged.
