I really want to know what the pie tastes like though. The coolest thing I have is my HQ grand opening golden ticket. Not spectacular, but it is signed by Brian, Kevin Smith and all the Comic Book Men.

I know it's nothing compared to all the other wacky stuff in this thread, but I have the original LE 1000 Big Boy wobbler, which is a really cool piece of funko history in my opinion.

So back when Funko started out, even with business going quite well, the company wasn’t the financial juggernaut that it is today with an IPO & the Disneyland-esk headquarters in downtown Everett. Long before the days of receiving Funko-Shop boxes every week with “Funko” printed on the sides, Funko would have to hand-press logo’s on the sides of packages as they shipped them out. This item is one of those hand-press stamps, standing about 5x7 inches. It was used for years and then stored as a relic of Funko’s past, but now, I am proud to say it is a unqiue and fun piece that is in my collection!! Never loved history in school, but Funko history is the best!!! :cheers:

Image

Image

Probably hasn’t been used for more than 10 years, but even gave it a try myself & BAM!!

My husband had a painting commissioned for my wedding gift of "us" himself as classic batman pop and myself as Princess Leia with our wedding rings as belts, it up in the bridal suite waiting for me that day. It is one of my favorite pieces of art. Yes, we had Funko Pops as props, pics of pops on our save the dates, and superheroes and Star Wars themed wedding:) (not sure how to attach/or post pic, new to any sort of forum).

Your never too far from home to find a little bit of Funko history. This crystal Freddy Wobbler was a test piece that was accidentally sent out from the Funko factory over a decade ago. At the time, Funko was messing with the idea of floating stuff inside the polystone Wobblers. With this one and only piece, the factory chose three random items, being Batman, SpongeBob, & Elmo to put inside the polystone to test the floating issues. It definitely fits the oddball category & I can gladly say this bit of history is now in my collection!! :glasses7:

Wow...love this wobbler. My son just got the tom and Jerry wobbler recently and he would absolutely love this freddy. I'm definitely going to have to do some research and see if I can surprise him with this piece. Well, that's assuming its not too expensive...we all know what funko prices can be like on the after-market.

My "odd"piece is literally that, a piece. At Fundays 2015, the prize patrol were throwing goodies. I caught one and someone ripped it out of my hands and all I was left with was an arm. I kept it and displayed it as an omage to that brutal Fundays.
