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

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)!

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 :razz:


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


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.

Image

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.

Image

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 lol 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 ](*,)

Image

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.

Image

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!! :compress:


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

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

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.

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 :)
