Nice find! I’ve seen a few in my area, but they aren’t priced right unfortunately.

Re: Cool first Wobbler find at Thrift Store!
I like seeing these wobblers, I like them, and the retros more than pops now
I just can’t find them locally and don’t want to go to eBay and pay the prices. We had one store that had some and I passed I should of bought them

What year is it from? There's no date on the box and my parents wanted to know.
It's cool to have some funko history!
That is a really sweet find!!! Congrats!

I found a Metallic Red Skull Wobbler at a clearance bin at Universal Studios gift shop like a decade ago.
