Springing into view
Popping out means leaving briefly, usually to run a quick errand: I'm just popping out for milk.
The phrase suggests a casual, short absence with the expectation of returning soon.
Something can also pop out by emerging suddenly or unexpectedly: Her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
