Cool first Wobbler find at Thrift Store! (Updated Collection)

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got a spring. Come inside and chat about Funko Wacky Wobblers (bobble heads, for the less sophisticated).

It’s not a wobbler, but a friend told me about an acquaintance that found a 2010 SDCC GITD Green Lantern at a local Goodwill for $5.

Box was decent and it had a glow (doubt you can fake a glow GL).

Still amazed if the story is true. My guess is that the significant other (wife) decided to donate her husbands funko pops!

What year is it from? There's no date on the box and my parents wanted to know.

Awesome find! The best I have been able to find is a Pop Maleficent for $1. I was pretty happy, she even still had her box.... always awesome to find a good deal and something you havent seen before.
