Bob’s Big Boy

[Raypunz]

I got one for $5 the other day at a vintage shop

[TriFeckTa]

nice score! I saw an OG red base one on ebay with its current bid at $300, don't know if it's getting shill bidded.

Yeah I think it’s definitely getting shill bidded to try and profit off of the film as much as possible

[Pryde72]

I own it and I love it

Congrats and Very very cool indeed!

I was looking at one red based one on eBay, and it got to about $150....I want one, but not that badly

[supertoygiant]

Today’s addition to the collection, and my first wobbler: LE 1000 1998 Big Boy!
This is a really awesome piece of funko history, and I’m very happy to own it!

I like this piece! Congrats!

[Goldberger]

So cool!

Where they really LE 1000?! Did not know that.

After seeing this from the movie it makes me want one now.

I'm really p*** Making Fun is inflating the value of the OG Red base! I've been looking for it for forever! I almost had one for $30 last year, but the seller was super annoying. First she only wanted to sell as a lot, then she said she would sell for $30 before backing out. Then, she reposted the lot without it (probably because she sold it to somebody else)!

[grasshoppa_95]

Very nice! I hope to get one of these one day. It will be a nice piece of Funko history to add to the collection

[anime23]

He looks sick. Where did you find him?

Got him off eBay for a great price of $20!

That’s a great price. eBay have been a miss lately for me.

That was a great price

Congratulations on an awesome Big Boy Wobbler!! That is the one that started it all, so most definitely a piece of history there!! Now you should get the other versions too


Here is a reference for some of the other Big Boy Wobblers if you find it useful..


I know, i know....you all must be saying, "why so many Big Boy's!?" Well, Funko actually had 8 “different”Big Boy Wobblers by the time they vaulted him. These included here from my collection actually shows some of the differences, while the others are simply more font size variances or unintended errors, such as the trademark symbol being left off.



As you can see, two different types of boxes from the front view, the "Bobbing Head" box & the "Funko Bobble-Head" box.. Only two with a sticker are the very first Big Boy released by Funko in 1998, which were 1 of 1000 and individually numbered; i have 605 as you can see. The second, has the "Bob's Burbank Anniversary" sticker, this also being 1 of 1000, but not individually numbered.



To really tell the difference you must take them out of the box to inspect their bases, as these are the main differences between the 5 i have.
(LEFT - RIGHT)
The Red Base is the very first Big Boy released by Funko in 1998.
The White Base is the Burbank Anniversary Big Boy, with the base saying, "Bob's Burbank 50th Anniversary"
The white base in the middle with the base saying, "Home of the Double Decker" with the standard print font
Next one also has a white base with "Home of the Double Decker", but this one has the same font as the original and first Big Boy by Funko
Last one also has "Home of the Double Decker" on the base, but is a silver base. This one also is done in more of a matte finish and is not glossy as the previous Big Boys.

What does it all mean....i have no idea With every second and third production wave, slight unintentional variants were created and released leaving funatics in a frenzy to try to catch one of each



Only a few minor noticeable differences on the bottoms of the boxes...the first Big Boy also has it's individual number stickered to the base, while the 4th box is the same on the bottom, but without the numbered sticker.



Very minor differences on the rear of the boxes as well, with all sporting the same "1998 Elias Brothers" printing except the Silver based Big Boy on the RIGHT end, which is listed as "2001 Big Boy Restaurants INT LLC". Other than that, two have a slightly more cramped History paragraph style, while the other three have spacing and a few of the details about Wian being scrambled.

Fun times!!

Thanks so much for that info and pictures! I was wondering what the differences were.

That would buy a lot of big boy burgers!

Yeah, it’s really great and I’m glad I got it before the film released!

Or any kind of burger

I’m pretty sure the hype will die down, though....at least I hope it does

[TJLAUTERBACH]

This would be cool to own. Starting to love wacky wobblers.

Yeah now I'm going to have to hope that I can find one for a reasonable price!

[rontonsoup]

There's one on eBay going for a ridiculously fake price due to shill bidding. It's funny

Yeah, I was watching that for a while, but it was getting stupid high! Patience will hopefully be my friend haha!

I want one but I'll just wait for the new pop to come out

yeah its def shill bidders, i am hoping to snag one for a more reasonable price as well

After watching the movie, I realized there were different variants. I honestly never knew that

i didn't know that either at the time

[OUTSIDER31]

Whats a good price for a big boy

[badger]

Whats a good price for a big boy

All depends on what you’re willing to pay. I got mine for around $15, but I wouldn’t recommend buying now, while the hype for the movie is still around, cause they’re very expensive right now

[rontonsoup]

So, I decided to go to Big Boys for lunch since I haven't been to one since I was a kid, and they sell the bobble heads still for $15. Booyah!!!

But it's not Funko

[rexflexall]

Man this is a very cool wobbler!

[philipali]

I really want to get one of this... any suggestions?

[Dpop_11]

This is my first post!
I decided to choose this adorable boy for my first post. The number 951 of 1000.
Thanks for very informative, I learned there are 8 different Bog Boy Wobbler, so I want other types. But I think current ebay prices are very high.

Fun times!!

Are there any other different boxes besides these ones? The box I have is different. I'm trying to figure out if I have an actual Funko Big Boy or a really clever fake.

Just keep an eye on eBay, cause that’s where I got mine from. Eventually one will go up at the right price and you’ll nab it!

[kastudillo]

Congrats!!! This is a really cool piece being that I'm from California it brings back fond memories!

Well I mean at the moment the price is quite high cause of the hype from the film. I’d suggest waiting a few months and then grabbing one

[wash2366]

Amazing find!

Welcome and nice way to start off your time on the boards!

[lavery01]

I don't own any wacky wobblers, but I wouldn't mind adding one of these to the collection.

[OffTheCHENG]

Bob's Big Boy is probably one of the few wobblerz I'd get.
