Where do you hunt 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).

I got my first wobbler today in the marvel collector corp box. Black panther chase one at that. I think its a sign I should start getting some of these.


Congratulations on the chase!! So lucky :-)


Thanks :freddy2:

I have to go eBay. In Texas the only wobblers I can find are the newer ones at Target.

I like looking at swapmeets and thrift stores. I usually find them for some decent prices.

If you have some particular ones you are looking for I'd recommend making a WTB thread. Lots of the older collectors don't post much, but they still browse the forum. I got several messages the last time I made a thread. Good luck and welcome to the Wobble Side :D

Good idea. I don't know how much is out there. I'll have to Google some lines. Thanks.


I agree good idea learning alot about collecting wobblers will have to post wth on some that I saw

I love my old school wobblers. I have been collecting them for a long time. I also remember a time when they gave me a wobbler for free on preview night and no one was really interested in them. Oh how times have changed.

on the hunt if anybody has any for sale/trade). I've found the two best sources, for me anyway, are eBay (where if you put in different terms/words in your search, you'd be surprised the pieces that pop up....and for cheap!) and right here on the forum. Have had the good fortune of befriending some of the old-timers who are more than willing to trade for some newer items that they may have trouble finding. Good luck!



I'm starting my collection thank you for the good advice

I'm not a wobbler collector, however i can not recall ever seeing a wobbler in a retail store. I see ton of Pops and Dorbz, that I collect, but can't ever recall seeing a wobbler. Now that they are on my mind, I'll likely start seeing them everywhere...

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wobbler in store only on online shops for me.

The few that I found at flea markets are usually not in great shape. Ebay seems to be your best bet.

Agreed. The few that I have found at flea markets tend to be really dirty. Not sure why that is.

I’d imagine the anime wobblers wouldn’t have been as popular back then as opposed to some of the other characters..but I love the idea :idea:
