They have now taken out a gloomy Bear, and are threatening to make Freddy their next target unless the newest Gruesome is brought home to join their ranks. Brian, I implore you, PLEASE send me this Gruesome to save further toys in my collection from suffering the same fate!!!

I was able to capture these photos of the carnage:

First they surround their victim:

Then WHAM!! Like a pack of wild dogs they pounce!! As you can see the Gloomy Bear did not fair so well:

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!!

WINNER!!!!

I have been here collecting Funko longer than anyone else who is currently a member of this forum. We used to chat on EBAY when there was no forum to discuss Funko. I have more useless and useful Funko information in my head than most people should EVER have!

I also had a Gruesome (Gray Jacket/Orange Hair) as an exclusive at one of my Midwest Wobbler Summits! It was an awesome piece and those who attended had a great time and got an awesome piece of Funko.

I love my Gruesomes and my Sleestaks. In fact, here in Minnesota the Gruesomes rule the Lost City!

Could I beg anymore? I could but my cane will get in the way

WINNER!!!!!

I thought it was some creepy 'Gruesomes of the Corn' mind trick.

I thought it was "Lord of the Flies" Gruesome style! :-&

toytonytexas wrote:Dear Santa Brian,

I would really LOVE a Christmas Gruesome to add to my collection. I have been a Hanna Barbera fan since I was a child and the Wacky Races was one of my favorite shows growing up. In fact, it was Hanna Barbera that brought me to Funko in the early years. I was looking for toys of my favorite characters and I fell in love with the Funko wobblers. I know there are Funatics like KevinBudda, FFJim, Carol, RFD, Honshero, and Jennifer (to name a bunch! ) that have more Gruesomes than I do and should get one, if possible, for their collection.

However, my love of the old shows and the Hanna Barbera characters (that brought me so much joy to me in my early years) in just as strong as anyones! It's the older collectors that actually have memories of these characters... and it is our memories that keep these characters alive and give us the burning desire to collect. I want to personally THANK YOU for giving us all of these awesome vinyl toys and wobblers and for giving us this opportunity to enter such contests. It adds little excitement... to the same old, same old of everyday life!

WINNER!

I'm sure it would add to their holiday cheer.

My holiday spending money is low, with the new baby, and we are currently looking into becoming a "Life Attachment" to a 16 year old foster boy and will more than likely be hosting him for christmas if everything works out. If this happens, we will obviously be helping with santa for him. This gruesome would help put my Secret Santa Gift over the top for this deserving collector.

Thanks for the opportunity, Happy holidays Brian.

WINNER!

I know everyone has their special people that they would do anything for. There is definatley one guy who stands out to me and that is Jim Dustman. I bet if you were to go back this past year many many people have thanked Jim for his kindness. Not only with customs he has done, but with gift cards, tickets, gifts, time, money he helps others out with. I think Jim has a heart of gold and inspires others with his thoughtfulness and generosity. A lot of people say they would give you the shirt off their back, Jim really would. It may be a tank top, but none the less he would give it to you.

COULDN'T AGREE MORE..WINNER FOR DUSTMAN!!!!

I don't really have much to say, except that out of all my Funko collecting, Little Gruesome's are by far my FAVORITE pieces!! Ever since I was a newbie when Jenn gave me my first one. And if I were to get one, well it would make the whole family happy!!! He has 14 brothers here waiting for him
Unfortunately, Brother Carlos is no where to be found
So if for some crazy reason I get one....Well...lets just say I would not be mad if Carlos made his way home! haha
Thank you!

WINNER B!

I happen to love the Gruesome's - and that's partially your fault Brian as you were kind enough to give me the purple metallic faced one at SDCC 2009. Do I deserve them????? I'm not sure, how much do you know? LOL I work with the elderly all day, I deserve a medal!

CATHY...WINNER!!!!
