I think those are pretty cool. Love how most of them are angry like and a different way to stand. Nice set.

Since I missed the last two Wednesdays, I looked for something different to post.

I present "Naked Alex"

Smart Alex is the name of a greeting card/giftware company out of Chicago. It's owned by a funatic named Jarkbark. In 2003, he had Funko make up some Wobblers for him, a standard colored version, a black and white version, and a naked version. The next year he had a GITD version made. At the time, and maybe even still, this was the only fully assembled (with a spring) Wobbler proto. Naked Alex is an LE 12.



Here are the others in the set. That's what a normal Wobbler proto looked like.



By the way, his body should look a bit familiar; it's the same body used in a couple of the Zombie Lounge Wobblers.
The Smart Alex came first; then a few years later Funko reused the body mold for their own original designs (I believe with Jarkbark's permission).

May the 4th be with you Renard!

Great to see you post again Scotty! Always like the history behind the pieces. The zombie lounge set is so fun.

I’ll do another Star Wars one this week.

[renardchua]

Will mimic what Mickey has said, more than the toys, it's the story behind this pieces makes the Wobbler line special, IMO.

Thank you for the stories, Scott! Can't' wait to hear more of them.

Another classic for this week’s Wobbler Wednesday!

Fireman! Are there any variants for this?

And would you know the back story behind the “Niddle Noddle” - was it just a wordplay for Wacky Wobbler?



Wobble on, guys!

Wobble on, guys!

Good start! There is another variant of this where he’s wearing a yellow jacket instead. Someone else may be able to explain your second part.

[BigM]

Well, I’ll contribute to keep this going.

Kiki the Freaky Tiki!!

[Scotty]

Here's what I know about the Fireman, often called Fireboy in the early days.

He was made exclusively for the Nodderguy for his line of bobbleheads called "Niddle Noddle." The Nodderguy had a website (nodderguy.com) and he was an early retailer of bobble heads and wacky wobblers (he sold his web site - and business? - in 2003). Niddle Noddle was a branding name for his exclusive bobbleheads, sort of like wacky wobblers for Funko. Only 3,000 black-jacketed Fireboys were made and 480 wearing yellow-jackets. Funko also produced exclusively for Nodderguy the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

Here's an old pic with the pair of Firemen in it.

Nice back story. But I'm loving those Rat Finks!

[BigM]

Scotty to the rescue for the history! I forgot the run sizes of them but I didn’t know the backstory behind the name either. Thanks for sharing.

[renardchua]

Thanks a lot for the story, Scott! Now will try to find the other Fireboy variant, as well as the Santa and Easter Bunny.

Thanks as well, Mickey for your inputs, appreciate it!

[SpaceDude]

How cool Scotty thank you for the story! I never knew that about the Fireboy and the other variant how coo! Those Rat Finks are pretty cool too!! Mickey the Kiki TIki is super cool as well!! Looking forward to posting this coming Wednesday! Been so awesome seeing everyone's awesome shares each week while I was on vacation!

Good to see you post again! The alien is my favorite of them too.
But they aren’t wobblers and it’s not Wednesday yet.

Thanks for sharing though! It’s always good to see some old school Funko.

[renardchua]

Happy Wobbler Wednesday again to all!

This week, it's He-Man's turn!

Noticed also on the box that the He-Man Wobbler was released 2012, which celebrates it's 30th anniversary.

Am expecting a huge chunk of merch for the MOTU line next year to celebrate it's 40th anniversary!

Cheers!

The new he-man looks pretty cool that is coming out on Netflix. Wonder what Funko has instore for us. Great share on the Wobbler.

[BigM]

Thanks for sharing Renard!

Going old school today along with Tate. Surfer Dude with the Sdcc exclusive.





May try to do something different and fun next week for those that post in here (and maybe lurk).

[Scotty]

Very nice pieces.

Tate, I love the Peek-a-boo Pop Up line (Mickey's right, not Wobblers, but they do have a spring--so, 1st cousins)

The Surfer Dude is classic--but soooo ugly (LOL). Love the swim trunks on the SDCC excl though.

Thank you Scotty! I do agree with you and Mickey I got so excited to post that I didn't even think that they were not Wobbler related, I think we can settle on 1st cousins! Sorry about doing that.

[renardchua]

Happy Wobbler Wednesday, everyone!

For this week, I’ll keep it short and sweet. Was just doing some inventory and noticed that I have 3 different box variants for the classic Batman Wobbler

Good set...so one is Keaton, Kilmer and Clooney? LOL

[FireEmblemZack]

Awesome Batman Renard!
It was one of my first wobblers, came from a Batman collector who had a ton of Batman Funko items.
Mine is the long title variation it looks like. I think it had a Target price sticker on it that came off.

[BigM]

Didn’t realize there were that many Batman boxes. I think it had a longer run than some others which could explain it. Thanks for sharing!

Not my favorite Terminator movie but love the Wobbler and Funko Force (not a wobbler I know but at least it has a spring too) We can call it a first cousin as well .

Awesome share pal! Yep that is what we will start doing calling it 1st cousin if it has a spring!

[SpaceDude]

Hey all, Happy Wobbler Wednesday some great shares this week! I have been looking forward to posting! For this weeks share I want to share my Comic Con 2005 Proto Series Huckleberry Hound! I appreciate how unique this wobbler is! Huckleberry has always been one of my favorite characters in the Hanna-Barbera universe! I hope you all have been well! The weekend is almost here! Don’t forget to smile!
-Wobble On!

[BigM]

Nice wobbler Tate! Scotty will be happy once he sees this.

[Scotty]

HUCKLEBERRY HOUND RULES!!!

Great post Tate! What can be better than that? (If I ever finish editing my collection post, I might be able to show you )

Nice posts everyone. Cool T-600s Mickey. Nice Bat Boy Zack. The Wobbler is pretty cool; but I've always found the picture of Bat Boy on the box a bit creepy.

Renard, you know your collection is getting x-large when you "notice" you have 3 box variants

[Scotty]

.
A day late. No surprise there.

Since Tate put me in the H. Hound mood, here are my favorite Huck Wobblers. I guess I didn't need to post a pic since they're in my signature. Oh well, you can never have too many Hucks.



For those not familiar with this colorful set of Hucksters, here's the original post from Brian to explain:

by Brian@Funko » Thu Sep 01, 2005 11:45 am: Ok, time to help others. As some of you know, I have an addiction to all that is Huckleberry Hound. I have over 50 Vintage 1960's-1970's Huckleberry Hound vinyl figures from all over the world in my HB Collection. I also have some very rare Huck Hound Wobblers...It all started a few years back when Mike Becker made me a( only 3 ever produced) Red Huck and a Blue Huck and Huck Pez. Well Huck got lonely in my office and since then, I have produced him so buddies! Funko made a few (12 each to be exact) Huck in Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Black and White. I have handed a few of these colored Huck's out to friends and for a couple of charity causes, so there is only a few of these floating around in public. So a real chance to own a rarity! Now please note, that these are not painted Huck's...These are fully colored plastic..meaning that color is the plastic itself and cannot be faked! The pictures don't do them justice! So the only ones for auction are the ones with arrows..not the Red or the Blue or the Huck Pez. I will do a sort of silent auction. Where people can email me at brian@funko.com with your bid...Please name which Huck color you want. Bidding will end at Noon PST on Tuesday Sept.6th. Just for CLARIFICATION, there is ONLY ONE HUCK AVAILABLE PER COLOR... ALL PROCEEDS will go to Red Cross relief for the Hurricane victims. Please only bid what you can spare, do not go into debt to buy these...The high bidder can either paypal or send a cashier check to Funko. In the event a bidder backs out, then second highest bidder and their bid would win, and so on. I will post periodic updates on who is the high bidder. Names will be withheld if requested. So lets help out... Brian.



HERE ARE THE WINNING BIDS! Thanks so very much! I really apprecaite all the effort on the many bids I received! You guys have great hearts!
Green Huck- $350
Yellow Huck- $350
Purple Huck- $350
Pink Huck- $350
Orange Huck-$350
B/W Huck- $600

[FireEmblemZack]

WOW, love those Huck Wobblers Scotty!!! And very cool history piece to go along with them. I think the Black/White one is my favorite of that image. Orange and Yellow are also really cool looking colors for the wobbler

[SpaceDude]

WOW, how awesome thanks for the great share Scotty! That is so awesome those were auctioned off for a charity going to a good cause! How lucky are you to own those! I have to say I think my favorite is the green one!!

[D4nnym4n123]

I don't actively collect PoP anymore, except for Huck.

Any specific reason behind that?

We used to have a ton of PoP in the house (over 500). I collected Star Wars, Halo, and DC while my wife, when she collected, had a rather large collection herself. However, my first love has always been the Wobblers and other Becker-era lines. Then my wife stopped collecting and sold everything. I liquidated all my PoP (except Huck) to make room for an ever-growing collection of Wobblers and other, newer lines. Don't get me wrong, I really like PoP, especially Disney and Harry Potter, but I'm an organization freak and my collection has to be contained in a specific space--without looking like an episode from Hoarders. You can see my collection at this link viewtopic.php?f=10&t=97328, which better explains it.

Of course, never say never.

XD

Great story behind the Huck Wobblers!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Today, let me share one of the big hitters, it’s the 20’’ Bone Daddy!

Really loving the glow on this one!

Just to check, are there any variants of the Bone Daddy with this scale aside from the Orange Suit and the LTJ Daddy?

Wobble on, guys!
