your oddest piece of Funko, special Funko history

Postby **Trixt** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 1:55 am

So since Mike was selfish and took his wedding Freddy guess I'll do something else. lol

The white Crystal El Diablo. Funko was trying to make a LE 50 run of Red Crystal El Diablo and Clear Bone Daddy's. Apparently there was a mix up at the factory and somewhere between 6-8 of the wrong color of each got produced before they stopped the machine. I am lucky enough to own one of the clear El Diablos, need to find that red Bone Daddy one day!

If it ain't funko, it ain't fun?!?

Well, a friend of mine sent me a Funko exclusive sticker that wouldn't stick on a Pop she bought. Now it's mine! And it's on my forehead.

Since I really hadn't seen these posted here, I thought it is crucial that these two pieces of Funko history should be included! A true couple of limited gems from the mid-2000's, both exclusive to Nodderworld! Two tremendously special pieces that are two of my most adored acquisitions!!

Didn't realize this thread existed. Wow! Haha.

I have one of the T "Can of Corn" t shirts that Bear showed off in his first pic along with the "Nishkas Shoe flavored treats" shirt in a can.

Those clocks are amazing! My oddest piece would have to be my pair of Funko Flyers that were mentioned earlier in the thread.

He is a Looney Toons obscure character named Gremlin, he one of the few characters that bets Bugs Bunny. This one Ross posted is the hand painted proto to a super rare piece Funko made, it is solid vinyl so it is super heavy and I want to say there were only 8 or 12 made I forget in my old age. I'm a out of box guy and too lazy to look for the box which are all numbered

My memory is foggy but if I am correct that was rejected by Lucas and they went with another design so it might be rarer than you think

So stupid question is this for the oddest or rarest Funko item?

The same thing like when I see a motorcycle in a driveway out here in the sticks that has sign with "Fur Sail" on it!? :roflmao:

I'm sure it's all relative :razz:

Postby **thejosh2010** » Fri May 12, 2017 4:24 pm

First off, a trio of the Uncle Sam Freddy prints..the first two, one autographed by Wild Bill himself (RIP Bill) were special limited edition releases for a special event & the "sticks & stones" print is a 1 of 2 that wasn't approved for production!

Another obscure Funko item that has made it's way into Appalachia, a parking sign of all things!

Postby **Alpha_Goat** » Sat May 13, 2017 3:47 am

Going through some boxes today and dug these out.

Lol Thanks Shawn :-)

When it comes to Funko per square inch...the ratio is high lol

Been doing some more major layout shifts, so hopefully I can get a good display picture up before starting to drive out for FunDay's

Thanks for all the awesome Funko history guys and gals! The oddest piece of Funko memorabilia I own is a small framed picture of The Baron Von Friedrichtstrouser hugging a giant retro Freddy from Fright Night lol

. Not even worth taking a picture of compared to all these amazing oddities!

I am just now discovering this thread and all the amazing pictures and history you guys have posted. There's some really cool stuff here.

Bobblehead - what's the background on the cereal and circus cookie boxes? Those are amazing!!! The box design is stunning, as is the cute/colorful copy. I must know more
