Good luck! Those came with a 5pack (chewie not included), 2 packs, and individual "blind boxes"

Will add those! Thanks.

Glad to hear that.
SuMo wrote:YES! I just saw a picture of this wacky wobbler Boba Fett proto, and absolutely love it. I think the stance and the cape adds to a cool pose.
Indeed, just like the regular Boba Fett wobbler.

Thanks! Good luck with the hunt.

I hope so but seems unlikely; something tells me these are not selling all too well. Also idk if we'll get more SW surprises considering we just had SWCO, D23 is around the corner (Dorbz line) and Force Friday is in 2months (POPs, POP Deluxe, Mystery Minis, etc.). I think the full wave 1 Star Wars might be all we'll see for SDCC (minus Conan jedi + Freddy SW version, of course).

Does anyone know if the Darth Vader Wacky Wobbler had a chrome base chase in the blue box?

Thanks! I'll check them out. I think the wobblers are kind of cool looking and always looking to add more (at a deal).

The wacky wobbler is a custom in my collection
The new wobbler was an exclusive to SWC 2016 in Orlando and I don’t remember if they ever released it anywhere else in the US as a shared exclusive but I think no
May the Funko Be With You

Thanks for doing this! I saw Jason Swoboda's collection on the Funatic of the Week posting a couple weeks back and could not figure out what the giant Boba Fett proto was. This post solved that mystery.

Yeah looks like he has a nice collection of Proto Bobas, including the giant 12” Coin Bobble Bank Boba. Believe it or not, Funko made even bigger Bobas - they have a few 24” Shogun variants.

Re: Wacky Wobbler Star Wars History
I didn’t really care for them when they first came out but now looking at the pictures I kinda dig the monster mash-ups! I only have the Darth Vader one. The Jawa, Maul, and tusken looked cool!
