So, what's the deal with Admiral Ackbar?

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).

So, what's the deal with Admiral Ackbar?

Postby TheJobaFett » Thu Jun 19, 2014 10:04 am

I have been on this seemingly endless Star Wars wobbler quest for about a year now and although I have found almost every rare/hard to find piece, for some reason, the regular Admiral Ackbar wobbler has never shown up.

Any vets have any insight into why? Were they only in production for a limited time? Was he insanely popular when he came out? Do you all just hate me and refuse to acknowledge I need one :) ?

Honestly, the only right answer that isn't an answer :)

I was on the lookout for an Ackbar wobbler for the longest time with no luck. I couldn't understand how he was so hard to find either. Then I somehow got lucky and ended up finding both the chase and then the regular within about a month of each other. Will keep an eye out for you.

pretty sure they are out of stock despite them neglecting to take the listing off their site. at least it was when I contacted them about it months ago.

Sorry to bring back an old topic. Was curious if anyone knew if this wobbler was produced in smaller numbers than other Star Wars wobblers
