Marvel and Disney bobble because of licensing issues. Someone else owns the license for statues and action figures, the only way Funko can make Pops is to have them bobble as a separate licensing category.

Wow, that's crazy that the ability to bobble comes down to even licensing.

Same thing with star wars being bobbles and also including the stand but I can't remember the reason for that one.

My older son is a collector and likes to take them out, my little one rips their heads off if he gets one. We’ve talked to him about it and he’s getting better. Still sucks when it happens

I understand why some may not like the bobble heads on the pops, but I like them. Especially when you take them on the car and the movement of the car jiggles their head around.

If they didn't Bobble, they couldn't be made.

I'm an in box collector so whether or not it bobbles or not, i'm good. lol

My preference is to not bobble. Great for the one I keep in the car. But it just takes one bad spill for the OOB to mess up the head a bit.

Yeah I thought all the Star wars were bobble heads. I don't remember one not being a bobble head.

Was a big fan of bobble heads, till my daughter ripped it's head off. #-o

I prefer the non-bobblers, myself. They just feel sturdier and more collectible to me. Bobbleheads have always felt cheaper and more fragile to me for some reason. I know Funko makes better quality bobblers than some other companies, but I prefer my collectibles to be stable and not looking like they're constantly unimpressed with me. lol

I like the bobble heads.

Postby **post31** » Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:05 pm

Not. But you know would rather have them than nothing at all.

Postby **post31** » Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:06 pm

One cool thing about bobbleheads are they make it easy to head swap

Postby **swind15** » Fri Apr 06, 2018 12:17 am

I’m ok with both, but I prefer non-bobble, because less of a chance of a breakage issue.

Postby **Mizarkie** » Fri Apr 06, 2018 3:06 am

Yea like others said, the ones that bobble are star wars and marvel. I think its a licencing issue or something like that. Its also the reason why all star wars pops have a base.

Necrobump of a 7 year old thread, I do believe you have set a new Funatic record.

Holy thread bump Batman...this is a blast from the past. Reached deep for this one lol

While on the subject I prefer non-bobble. Just fewer issues imo.

Postby **Adrenya** » Fri Apr 06, 2018 3:30 am

A good half of my collection is Marvel and Star Wars. Being out of box I wonder what my walls would look like during an earthquake lol

Postby **Battastic** » Fri Apr 06, 2018 6:29 am

Not to bobble
I actually skip the Marvel & SW POPs just because I don't want the bobble head. Which is a good thing I guess...keeps me from spending more money than I already do lol

Lol. That probably has to be a record for gravedigging. But anyways I collect Marvel and some Star Wars so I’m SOL on avoiding bobbleheads. I prefer not having the bobbles especially for protos.

I vote for bobble, last one I bought was stan lee it said bobble head but it wasn't a bobble

Postby **pampam** » Fri Apr 06, 2018 1:04 pm

Non Bobble head for me. I rather just leave those to sporting events.

They are. Who owns Star Wars? Disney.

I prefer non bobble. When I look at some of my Star Wars/Marvel Pops they appear to have long necks or floating heads because of the spring.

Postby **Sophiebeans** » Sat Apr 07, 2018 6:51 pm

I like non bobble better. Just a smoother look

Postby **Chimpomagee** » Sat Apr 07, 2018 7:28 pm

I also stand in the non-bobbler camp. I’ve seen too many bobble heads with messed up springs and tilted heads

I thought it had to do with Kenner and the bobble head was to get around that.

Yes Disney owns Star Wars now. They sure have increased the brand exposure. Haha.

Since all my pops are in a box, I'm now curious to see which ones bobble and don't bobble.

This was the first thing I thought, was under the assumption that they were all bobble heads. :eek:

Mine are mostly in box so it doesn't matter to me. Gonna check out the ones I have though, maybe some of them might be making it OOB

Postby **Greymom** » Wed Apr 11, 2018 5:19 pm

Most of mine stay in the box, so there's no difference to me.

It doesn’t matter if it bobbles or not. I love the pop the same.

Postby **LatinFunko** » Tue May 22, 2018 11:37 am

I prefer non-bobble but a bobble won’t stop me from getting a character I want.

It dont matter to me if it bobbles or not does not stop me from getting a character I like
