Funko Popeye Talking Bobble Bank battery

Postby kenerickkoo » Mon Jun 22, 2015 11:53 am

Hi Guys,

Can you please help me figure out what battery this wacky wobbler uses? I couldn't find any info in the internet about this wacky wobbler. Hope someone can help me out! Thanks!

My Popeyes (there is also a color one) are still in their boxes (except for the proto). Carol does your Popeye's batteries still have juice?

I've aften wondered about the batteries in the talking wobblers. Most of mine are still in their boxes (I have not checked their batteries ever), and most still have the plastic tabs that prevent battery contact. Has anyone had any problems with batteries corroding or leaking in their wobblers?

No...i should probably remove them because they are getting corroded.

I have never changed the batteries in any of the South Park pieces I have and they are out of their boxes at all times..................now, none of them talk anymore, but they are certainly not corroding.

It's not terrible corrosion, but i can see some slight signs of white residue on the batteries. I've always heard that you should take the batteries out of things you're not going to be using, like radios, xmas ornaments that have batteries, etc.
