The Cigargent Collection - NEW PICS!

[cigargent]

Hi! My name is Keith, and I've been a Funko Funatic since I first laid eyes on their great products back in '99, if not before then!!!

Until recently, the only two Wobblers I owned were Freaky Tiki and Bone Daddy (dull red suit). Usually I just gave Wobblers as gifts. Many a time I went to Newbury Comics just to cruise through and see the new Wacky Wobblers. I always left with a smile!

Last Summer/Fall, I picked up a few Betty Boops (and some non-Funko ones...Heat & Cold Misers, Hef & Mr. Playboy), and then stumbled across this fine establishment in February.

Now, like many of you, my credit cards hurt, my bank account balance is down, and my fun level is up, Up, UP!

As promised (and while my camera is behaving!), I present to you photographs of my collection thus far. I am still waiting on some, either from people here or online sales...so when those things come in, I'll post updates. Funko Fever has left me a wondering where I will put all the wobblers, so for the moment, I present them in situ.

Also of note, I accidently have my Uncle Sam in front on my Sea Monkey. Oops! Also, the Clone Trooper, Darth Vader & Greedo are chrome based, while the hologram Vader is not.

I hope that you enjoy seeing these as much as I have collecting them!!

WOW!! Great collection. Thanks for sharing.

[glowfunkofreak]

Great pictures Bro .. AWESOME collection !!

[cigargent]

Forgot to take a picture of the box art for Hollywood ("Marilyn Monroe") Betty Boop that I got from Ron. Instead of dragging out the camera again, I'll repost the pic I did of the Scooby Doo Witch Doctor proto, which has the box art behind it.
Oh...and didn't photograph it, but also have a white T-shirt with Freddy Funko on a rocket that says "Funko Since 1998 - The Future Of Fun"

[cigargent]

Thanks Charger! Thanks Ron!
I don't know if I would ever be considered for COTM, but I am having a blast just collecting these, hanging out with you guys!! And heck, I wouldn't have had a chance to have your potato salad (Please, Please, Please, send me your recipe, Ron!)

[Otto13]

AWESOME!!!

Now tell me...what a decent cigar? I have been craving one since smoking El presidentes & Monte Carlos in Cabo...

Can you imagine sitting in amongst a collection of Wacky Wobblers smoking a cigar...awwww man, heaven!

I'd like to see the sign underneath the shelves...AWESOME!

...and don't trust Ron...he's a Yankee fan!

[jarkbark]

Beautiful!!! Just beautiful!

[Rat Fink Dennis]

Very Nice!!

[kevinbuddha]

Capt'n Mac

"Awesome, Great, Beautiful"...all sincere words from long time collectors...then the rookie says "very nice".... Kids...


Hey D...just

[cigargent]

Thanks Otto!!! As for Ron, the Yankees are doing about the same as the Sox...none too swift, so it's all good for now. We'll see in the Fall!!

That's my livingroom, and yes, I have enjoyed a cigar there (with the window open and a fan sucking out the smoke). Heaven, especially with a nice beer or scotch. Mmm...Talisker.... anyway, good cigars depend on what your tastes are and how much $$ you want to spend. The best of the bottom/mid-price is Munimaker from JD GRaves. At a buck or less a stick, you won't feel bad having one, and won't feel like you are slumming. For special occasions and for the affluent, there are many great choices...Perdomo, Ghurka & CAO are favorites, though there are so many others.

Ah yes, I live in an interesting house. It once was a Christian Scientist Church built in 1921 (Yup, I have pews!) and the guy who renovated it into a single family home also bought and stripped out the Athol, MA Diner car...the side of which makes up the wall of the bar that the wobblers are sitting on. And yes, that is a Guinness Dartboard at the end.

[mesonoftheral]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection...Words can not describe the magnificence...It is truly wonderful...Thanks again for sharing...As for COTM you and everyone who collects and is a active member of the board are worthy of the honor.

[Capt'n Mac]

[cigargent]

Thank you all for your kind words for my collection. It sounds sappy, but I'm smiling and all happy inside being able to share it with you all!!
Thank you again!!!
Now I'm going to finish The Bourne Ultimatum, my cigar, and a Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron beer. I've have so little time to myself and such a miserable two weeks, that today (after 1pm) has been just what I needed! Well, some of what I needed, anyway.

Ye must post are-b-terigarr...

Keith,

Thanks for the 411...in Mexico I was paying about $15 per...doing two a day...stimulating both the Mexican and Cuban economies...Missus insisted I smoke out by the pool or balcony...then she started smoking...

I'll head to my local shop and purchase a few...thanks again for the suggestions... now as for the scotch...I am more of a gin man...

LOVE the use of the sign!!!!

[cigargent]

Mmm.....Gin is my summer drink. Gin & tonic, light on the tonic (and lighter w/each refill).

[Betty Boop]

Very nice collection!

[ShoMeNodder]

Really nice, Keith ! You should be very proud

[Otto13]

Mmm.....Gin is my summer drink. Gin & tonic, light on the tonic (and lighter w/each refill).

I'm beginning to like this guy!

[Sluggo]

Excellant collection Keith.

[cigargent]

Considering some of the collections you guys and gals have amassed, I'm humbled by your kind words. Thank you.

[yoohooal]

Terrific house & terrific-er collection!

[Squird]

Nice collection, any collection with the Wobblebots is a fine collection.

Also dig the Buddy Christ (he's got my back even as I type) and that Mr. Playboy.

Where did you find Mr. Bunny?

[cigargent]

I bought my Brother the dashboard BC for his car!

Mr. Bunny...I believe that I bought him directly from the Playboy online shop when they had some crazy 20% off. Otherwise I got the Girls Next Door and Hef elsewhere.

Oh, and the autographed picture is of Holly, dressed like her bobblehead and holding it, too.

I've the Club Bunny (the waitresses on the old Playboy club) on order for months, but it never seems to get in stock. <grumble>.

Besides those, one of my non-Funko favorites is the little Grim Reaper from the show Dead Like Me.

[cigargent]

...PLUS, I couldn't pass up Mr. Bunny because he has both a martini and a cigar!!!

[funkystark]

Love you Diner Signs.. nice look!

Also very sweet collection!

[Alleycat]

Thanks for posting the photos of your amazing collection.

I never knew anyone who lived with pews.

[cigargent]

These are nice dark stained hardwood ones, curved, and with custom velvet cushions (wish my Church had those sometimes!). I don't know if I will end up keeping all 6 rows of pews, but even with just 3 of them...and the way the other area is, would make a kick-arse home theatre!! Someday.

In the meantime, there is a new furnace & insulation to save up for(the guy who renovated this place did a great job, but neglected some of the basics...and with oil prices, I had to seal off that area upstairs and keep the rest of the house at 54F all winter, unless I had guests over), but I love this place!!

[xHEMLOCKx]

nice collection. thanks for the pics!!!

[cigargent]

Well, after finally posting picture of my collection, I have finally filled out and emailed my Collector Of The Month application. Here's to hope, but regardless, it is all a boatload of fun!!!

[dustman94]

SWEET COLLECTION.

[westforduk]

Very nice collection cigargent. Keep up the good work!

[wobblemecrazy]

Great collection there you have going!! Nice, well done! Love the diner signs at the top. They compliment well

[mrfunkowacko]

Great collection i dig it. I also like your set up. mmmmmm Holly

[cardgame2]

what a great collection Keith - it is magnificant! I love your living room ! I see you're a fan of the Betty's - she's my favorite & the one that started my "addiction"!

did someone mention gin.........with pink lemonade (vodka is a good substitution)! the best summer drink

[cigargent]

Ah Cathy, a woman after my own heart. Vodka with pink lemonade (or pink grapefruit juice!) is great. Haven't tried either with gin, but may have to give that a go when it warms up outside!

And yes, Betty pushed me into a Funko frenzy, and the rest is history.

[ShoMeNodder]

See you'll be adding a custom crystal punchy to your collection...congrats !

bourne ultimatum was a great movie. and your collection is awesome. thanks for sharing! do you like cohibas?

[cigargent]

You know, Big Mama, I have never had a Cohiba (Cuban or not).

Hmm...come to think of it, the last "Island off of Miami" cigar that I enjoyed was a Montecristo with my Dad when the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series.
