I actually would have thought you would have been too young to know. When we were on the floor two of us were freaking out with excitement and the others just looked at us. I guess we showed our age.

Pretty sad when 30 is considered young but I'll take it!


Trust me when I say it's sad that 30 is considered young to me! Enjoy it while you can. on the plus side I like to think I look 30 :roflmao:

My favorite place was Chucky Cheese though and my brother wanted Showbiz. We use to fight over which one, I think they merged into one just to drive us crazy.

Showbiz was the place back in the day. If you didn’t have a Showbiz birthday party you were blacklisted from future Showbiz birthday parties and everyone had a Showbiz birthday party.

I have never been to Showbiz Pizza ever in my life. Well, because I live in Canada. But, I heard there's a lot of fans of the animatronic band.

Yeah. Chuck E. Cheese was before Showbiz's time. So, they should do Chuck E. Cheese first.

If Funko makes both Chuck E Cheese & Showbiz Pop!s. They might go with Chuck E Cheese first, since it's older.

It’s actually the other way around. Looking at it history wise, showbiz pizza place was created in 1980, only to go through a wide conversion to what is now known as “Chuck E. Cheese” by 1992. Not only that, but we should get both Chuck E. Cheese and showbiz pizza place pops haha. I’d love to get both groups!

Agree. Funko could make both at the same time.

Yes every kid was afraid of these characters and the creepy animatronics. Hell, Five Nights at Freddys is based on this place and nobody can convince me otherwise.

That said, I'd totally buy these up if they were made.

I don't remember if it was Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz but it was one of those that I would go to as a kid. It may have been one that turned into another. It was dark, dark, like an arcade should be. There was a huge room where the tables and the eating happened. Around the room were all the animitronics, on stage in the front and in the walls along the side. Much cooler than that thing they call Chuck E Cheese today.

Both restaurants had animatronics.

If it weren't for the kids having a lot of fun Chuck E Cheese was the nastiest pizza. Frozen pizza was better. I would probably buy one for my daughter as we spent a lot of time there :freddy1: :freddy1:

Would be cool to see as common releases of Funko Shop exclusives. Common release would be better. Same thing if they make Chuck E. Cheese's Pop!s.
