Wobbler Wednesday Thread!- FREESTYLE

[Scotty]

Hey Wobbler fans. This week I'm going with my favorite Diablo. This guy had some great variants, but the blue suit Diablo really spoke to me. Although, so did the pink glow Diablo. I had the 7" and 20".







As those who have done it, major downsizing is tricky. It's been several years now, and I'm kind of thinking I should have found a place for one more display case. With all this year's Wobbler Wednesday posts of pieces I "used to have," I'm definitely missing a bunch of pieces. Oh well, vinyl under the bridge.

Wobble on!

Kyko, I agree, the crystals were awesome. For some reason, I never tracked down one of those. I had a clear crystal Bone Daddy. If I had a red crystal Diablo, I would have kept it.

Here's my latest wobbler purchase, a Clone Trooper Wobbler Prototype from Star Wars.

[Scotty]

.
That is some awesome classic Star Wars. Very cool proto.

Been away for a bit. Real life can be so annoying. Though, looks like just about everyone was missing

I don't have a lot of protos, but following your lead, here's one of my favorites...Danger Will Robinson!

Merry Wacky Wobbler Wednesday everybody.

Here's one of my newest Wacky Wobblers:




Twinkie the Kid Wacky Wobbler Color Prototype:




Never thought I'd own this. One of the best pieces in my collection by far.

[Scotty]

That is a great proto. Congrats!

I really love that sign

Hmm, now I want a Twinky and a cup cake.

Anyone a Star Trek fan? I've been one since 1968. I've watched every Star Trek episode and movie ever made. Haven't loved all the series or all the movies, but overall, my life is better with Star Trek in it. Strange New Worlds is meeting with mixed reviews, but I LOVE IT. Can't wait for Season 4 to pop next month. Sad they're only doing 5 seasons. I thought Star Fleet Academy was a let down, but I wasn't the target audience--but still watched it

So, here's to all the Trekkers or Trekkies or whatever you like to be called...

[SpaceDude]

Great share Scotty!! Those metallic Big Bang Theory ones are sweet!!

Getting back to things I no longer have, but wish I did...

When I downsized in 2019, I had to make a lot of hard choices, especially with my Freddy's. And for the most part, I have very few regrets.

Here's a regret.



I'm not a Star Wars fan. I also like the older Freddy's (pre-2008). So, getting rid of Clone Trooper Freddy made sense at the time. But the uniqueness of having the regular, chase, and proto is what makes me regret that decision; the completist in me loves sets . They were a 2010 release; LE 144 and LE 12; I don't know how many protos there were. At least I know, wherever they are, the owner is happy.

Wobble on folks!

[COLLECTEMONIUM]

This was a great assortment of Freddy wobblers Scotty. would love to have that proto and that boo berry. Great post

Thanks. I still have the black and white Freddy and Alien Freddy. I let Boo Berry Freddy go, though. It just didn't speak to me; nor did Count Fredula, he's gone too. I did keep FrankenFreddy--he was the best of the trio imo.

[SpaceDude]

Some great Freddy's Scotty, you held on to some great one's. I am still on the hunt for the black and white Freddy. I totally get where you are coming from though, there is always that piece we wish we would of kept. I have a similar situation with a certain piece. Hope all is well my friend!
-Wobble On!

[COLLECTEMONIUM]

Scotty congratulations on your funatic hall of fame induction! overdue, well deserved. happy for you my friend

[SpaceDude]

Yes! Congrats to you Scotty! Well deserved my friend!!!

[Scotty]

Thank you both. I was caught completely by surprise. It put a big smile on my face.

Well, it's almost Wednesday, so here we go...

One of my favorite TV memories when I was a kid was coming home from school and turning on Batman. I watched it pretty much without fail every day--same bat-time, same bat-channel. I still watch an episode every now and again (which is easy for me to do since I have the full series on DVD). I guess that's why these Wobblers got their own cubby.



I wished more than anything that they would have made a Riddler--my favorite villain in the series. I actually met Frank Gorshin at my 25th anniversary party at Tavern on the Green (NYC) over 20 years ago. He knew my mother-in-law and stopped by for a drink. VERY cool evening. I wish we had cell phones back then so I could have had a picture.

[SpaceDude]

Great share Scotty, that is so cool you have that special memory and still appreciate watching the show every now and then still! Love the cubby, they look so good with the autograph! Batman has always been a favorite of mine as well! I will share my Wobbler Wednesday post a bit early as well! For this week I want to share a Freddy Funko set that I am so happy to have! The green shirt and black shirt is limited to 48 while the common white shirt Freddy is limited to a number around the 200’s. These were inspired by Wild Bill! Funko used the body from the Wild Bill Wobbler but just threw a Freddy head on these and painted them different! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week! Don’t forget to smile my friends!
-Wobble On!

[Scotty]

I really like that set too Tate. Freddy sets are my favorite sets

I was on the board yesterday, but forgot to post. No surprise there.

I was checking out my collection--as i often do since it's in my den and I see it most every day--and really appreciated the nuance of Mike Becker; well, really the nuance of some of the Wobblers that Mike made. The pair that caught my eye on this particular musing were the two Bazooka Joes. A classic ad icon, for sure. In the mid-60s I was a HUGE Bazooka bubble gum fan. A piece of gum cost 1 cent and every piece came with a Bazooka Joe comic. Most fun a kid could have for a penny.

I checked online and could only find one version of the Bazooka logo, and it always started with a red "B". Even in the comic, when Joe was shown in full length, his t-shirt had a red "B". I loved how Mike made two versions, one starting with a red "B" (LE 4,000) and one starting with a blue "B" (LE 2,000). And he made sure the box matched the Wobbler, as well. [I'm not sure it was actually Mike who came up with the idea; could have been Wilky or Rob Schwartz, but it was Mike's baby.] Not an exciting metallic or neon colorway, just a simple reversal of the letter colors. It's one of my favorite variations. I guess I'm just easy to please.

It is a subtle difference. Lots of people missed it until it was pointed out to them.

[SpaceDude]

Great share Scotty!! Love the small difference between the two! I have to track down the other version now!

AND WE'RE BACK!

Well, not sure you were all locked out as long as I was, but it's been weeks for me. And the gang (below) is glad to see ya.



So, even though it's Saturday, let's pretend it's Wednesday. I thought I'd go back to the pieces I no longer have and regret it.

When I was in my first year (or two) of collecting, I was out of control. And anything that came in a set triggered a completist-fanaticism-gene I wasn't aware I had. One such obsession was Betty Boop. I was influenced by a Funatic who went by cigargent. He had a great appreciation for Betty Boop and I fell in love with the little lady. Betty Boop was a little bit before my time, but the variety of Wobblers was awesome. I never got them all--I had about 30 Boops (there were about 40 of them in total). Sadly, I can't find a single photo that shows all of my Boops together. I'm not really sad these are gone because I was more enamoured with it being a set rather than being a Betty Boop fan, but they were great Wobblers. They also took up a lot of room and when I downsized, space for 30 pieces was precious. So, here are a few photos of the infamous Betty Boop.









And that's not to say they're all gone. I still have the 20-inch set. I just couldn't let those go. For size reference, they're standing in front of my desk. I also kept 3 Wobblers, the Betty Boop Singer set (gold regular, B&W chase, and pink from SDCC 2010).





Well, that's it for this week. Hope you're all doing well. Wobble on!
