The new Wobblers line
Are anymore coming?

I really prefer the look of these than the wacky wobblers.

Re: The new Wobblers line
Haven't seen anything new on the horizon. Mayb they will switch back to the original Wacky Wobbler form again.

Re: The new Wobblers line
I wonder if the wobbler line is dead. I don't think they were making much anyway and may be discouraged since it wasnt a money maker. Now that they are public, they're probably much less likely to hold onto lines that are not profitable or project to be (or at least are loss leaders).

Re: The new Wobblers line
I would love for wacky wobblers to make a comeback! Truthfully these are better than pops! Love how they actually bobble.

Looking to see some more wobblers. Even variants of old ones for the new collectors would be nice.

I was curious to see how the impact of Funko going public would impact their creative direction.

I'm also wondering the same (if the line is dead). My wobbler collection has slimmed down since POPs make up most of my Funko collection.

Would love to see some new Wobblers as con exclusives. Small numbers. Pretty sure they'd be quite popular.

Re: The new Wobblers line
I own a few of the Wacky Wobblers and have just now started appreciating these things. So now I have started my search for some of the older ones to help kick off my Wobbler collection. I know I am getting in on the tail end of things, but like gbizzle13 said, I too would love to see them make a grand return.

I would agree in that I prefer the look of the original Wobblers line as opposed to the Wacky Wobblers. I'm excited for more new lines to come out!

Re: The new Wobblers line
Aesthetically I like the older line, more than the new line. It would be cool to see newer ones molded like the older ones, but I get they have to make stuff that appeals to newer collectors
I’m hoping they do expand on the new style of wobblers even if they make them limited runs. I need a wobbler robin and batgirl!

Re: The new Wobblers line
I've noticed that my stores almost never carry the wobblers so if I want them, I have to search them out online. It's bittersweet because then I often find they're too expensive. Sigh.

Agree. I had to buy the wobblers I wanted online as well.

Re: The new Wobblers line
I wonder if it has anything to do with how many lines are out right now. I like dorbz but it looks like they are slowing down, maybe with that slowdown we will get some new wobblers. They were the first things I ever bought from funko

That's a really valid point. It does seem like there are a bunch but some are starting to ease back. Fingers crossed you are right.

There has not been a sign of them for quite a long time.
Just remember this...……………….if it were not for Wacky Wobblers, Funko would not be here, POP! would not be here, Hikari would not be here and so on and so on. Always enjoys classic Funko lines of toys. That has kept me going for sometime. You can still find classic Funko. No matter how much Funko tries to erase/hide the history that they made Wacky Wobblers, someone somewhere in the world discovers a Wacky Wobbler for the very first time everyday

Re: The new Wobblers line
I had hope after they put the black panther and the chase variant in the MCU Animal themed box, but that has been the last wobbler that I have heard about.... it seems like they're focusing on Vynl line and letting go of Wobblers and dorbz slowly....

Re: The new Wobblers line
I really would like for the Subscription boxes to had more Wobblers on them, the POP was the only constant thing, but I feel it would had been really cool if more things were consistent, like for Example that every box would include a POP, Wobbler and a Dorbz, and then 1 to 5 other random things, in the first boxes it was certain that you would get a Pin, Patch, Comic(Marvel/DC), POP and t-shirt, but nowadays the boxes just focus on the POP and few other random things

Re: The new Wobblers line
The wobblers were before my time, but they are really cool. I picked up a few that I really like second hand. I think if Funko brought them back in original form they may be pleasantly surprised by collectors like me who wish they were still available

I like how most of the old wobblers were spot on compared to the actual characters.

I agree fully. I may stand alone on this, but one of the things that stands out in wobbler design vs what I notice in the pops is the design of the character traits, especially eyes and facial expression. The little round black eyes on pops are cute, but when I look at something like a wobbler which is still fun, but has the extra detail....it seems like a figure that is higher quality to me. I know many will disagree, but I think a wobbler with all those details is a fun, and more accurate depiction of a beloved character

Re: The new Wobblers line
That is why I do not buy much POP because of the unoriginal black eyes and the lack of detail. They look so generic sometimes. Some POP pieces look nothing like the characters they are supposed to be.
Again, just my 2 cents

You are not alone. The detail is amazingly better on a wobbler and I love how they wobble! Lots of pops look very similar with simple minor changes.
