Less and less wobblers

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got a spring. Come inside and chat about Funko Wacky Wobblers (bobble heads, for the less sophisticated).

Less and less wobblers

Postby Tschlief » Wed Dec 17, 2014 8:54 am

Is it just me or is the number of new wobblers declining every year I see more and more pops but not a lot of wobblers

If they make them in more limited runs with stickers on the boxes maybe they could draw more attrition. I know people love their stickers. Not too sure if its very cost effective to make wobbler runs of 96 or 144 though.

It will happen to POP one day too, when Funko rolls another line out of something different. Wacky Wobblers or bobble-heads (as they were originally known) have been around since the 1930's................they are not going anywhere.......................... :D

Guardians of the Galaxy, deadpool,spider-man, electro, ant-man, avengers 2 mini wobblers, I say the wobbler lines is doing ok for me lol

Sad that Pixar wobblers might see store shelves though.

Would love to see more marvel comic wobbler and wish chrome chase bases would make a comeback.

Thanks guys! I used to be a hardcore bobblehead collector back about 10 or so years ago, but I got burned out. I couldn't pass on Deadpool though.

I also do kind of want to get Alfred Hitchcock...and I'm still waiting for Raphael too!
