Since there aren't many new topics in this once very busy portion of the board, I thought I'd get one going.
Pretty much everything that can be said about Wobblers has been said - and this forum is replete with the Wacky Wobblers' rich history. What is new, though, is an ever-growing albeit small group of Funatics that are discovering and collecting these awesome pieces.
So, the question is: Why Wacky Wobblers?
This is for new and old collectors alike. But it would be very interesting to hear why newer collectors of other lines came to collect Wobblers. Even if you're an old (or should I say mature) collector, and when you started collecting there wasn't any choice but Wobblers, why did you choose to spend your hard earned money on collecting them.
When I started collecting in 2012, there was a large and active Wobbler community on the board. PoP! were also huge and the number of PoP! collectors was quickly eclipsing the Wobbler collectors. But for me, Wobblers are what brought me to Funko. I was starting to revert back to my second childhood and searching for nostalgic collectibles that reminded me of the things I loved growing up. That's when I found Funko. It started with Hanna-Barbera, but spread to so much more. I loved Wobblers the most because they depicted the fandoms of my youth most realistically, as if the character just walked out of my TV and onto my shelf. My collection kept growing and growing because every Wobbler I got brought a big smile to my face. That's not to say I didn't collect just about every line Funko made, just in smaller numbers. But Wacky Wobblers is where my spring-loaded heart is at.
