Was the contest over at 11:59pm yesterday? I never entered but I'm so intrigued to see the outcome =D>

You know I wasn't even sure if I should enter, but I went ahead and did it and got my winner email at 11:12 central.

But I'm not sure if ProjectFred will succeed. For me, it's several reasons:

-Price
-The face is a bit ...menacing or creepy looking to me
-Timing is off especially when they just they have so many product lines that probably need focus. Also public opinion isn't so positive at the moment.

Still good on Funko to make people excited for what's to come and bring business to the restaurant. We will see how it goes!

Excited to see if they do more

the crazy thing is the price. 295.00 . i remember trying to get the 18 Inch 700 pc 60`s batman on the old funko shop that was 100.00.

I tried to get 1 for my husband as he's a HUGE big boy collector and we got the BIG No email

Postby **plumb102** » Mon Mar 11, 2024 1:24 pm

Congrats Funko fam winners!!
Definitely a piece of history!

Postby **Elviax** » Mon Mar 11, 2024 1:56 pm

I just saw the article that said they had 15k entries on 3/7, so I'm curious what the end count of entries was!

Postby **funkomarv96** » Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:01 pm

15k entries for a product that only has 750 pieces made is insane! Good luck to all who’s trying to acquire

At least they tell us no for once LOL

I read an article where it said there were 15k people in queue to buy the Freddy. That’s dope. I honestly didn’t think that many people were interested, but I’m glad they were. Brings new energy to collecting

Congrats to any of our funatics who won a Big Boy Fred today!

I was surprised too but it’s awesome that it did so well. =D>

I really want them to make small versions and lower the price a lot since not everyone has $290 to spend

I followed through and decided to get it. It is unique and something different. I am excited to see it in May!

Congrats, it is definitely unique and different. Will be interesting to see what they do next.

I recommend changing the title of your post so that more people know what the thread is about.

Thank you for the assistance!

No one I know personally won, but I’m glad to see some people on here won.

I signed up for it because FOMO, but Big Boy isn’t a line I collect. I hope they do some others because I like the size.

Same. I didn't sign up but I know of four people and all struck out. I might go for whatever the next character is; have a feeling I'm gonna want in.
