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!!!
Probably hasn’t been used for more than 10 years, but even gave it a try myself & BAM!!
20 Years of Funko...20 Years of FUN!!

What is your oddest piece of Funko history?

So I reached out to Brian and asked if I could get some blank shirt retro Freddys that myself and my wife could customize as Thank yous for the Funatic guest. Well Brain much to my surprise (really it shouldn't have been because the man is awesome) took my request one step further and had these made! My wife knew about the little ones being made for thank yous but I managed to keep the big one a surprise. The big one started the night on our reception table greeting everyone that came to the wedding, quickly became the talk of the wedding and eventually was the most requested dance partner of the night!

There are several Wobblers that also released in the Austin Powers box (GITD Franken Berry is the one that immediately comes to mind). Funko most likely had a bunch of extra boxes and decided to use them instead of printing new boxes

Cool wobblers! Funko had to save money back then by cutting corners, they weren’t a near-billion dollar franchise in those days
