TOONTOWN OF COLLECTEMONIUM [PHOTOS]

Postby COLLECTEMONIUM » Wed Apr 15, 2026 8:16 pm

COLLECTEMONIUM
My real name is John, I'm 20 years old (meaning I missed every last moment of the Wacky Wobbler era). I've been collecting Funko since 2016. I had the kid in the candy store moment with Funko for the first time at Toys-R-Us with their big pop display. I would later see YouTube videos on San Diego Comic Con and the various Funko products there, and soon it began. I bought dozens of pops every year since, somewhere near 800 now. I properly discovered Wobblers through the Funko documentary when it released, but didn't get my first one until 2023. Since then, I've come to prefer Wobblers over any other Funko product for sure. Love the Hanna Barbera ones, the Ad Icons and Cereal Mascots, Looney Tunes, Peanuts, Betty Boop, etc. Many great Wobblers.

In 2025, I began collecting Funko Prototypes. Since I was so late to collecting both Wacky Wobblers & Prototypes, I've been unable to focus on normal production Wobblers, as the prototypes have been my main focus. Since then, I've reached over 50 protos and counting, 13 of them being Wacky Wobblers.

Here's some collection photos

John great post. A very eclectic collection.

Frankly, I'm shocked you're that young. Based on your collection I would have thought you were at least twice as old. You have great taste. Why the interest in Hanna-Barbera?

Thank you Scotty! Much appreciated. You're one of my biggest inspirations in toy collecting. Your Huck collection is unbeatable.


Well a few reasons for the Hanna Barbera interest. Warner Brothers has 2 cartoon channels on TV, one for new shows, and one for old shows. Where I was able to watch a couple HB cartoons like Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, &, Tom & Jerry as a kid. Unfortunately though, in the 2000s, Warner Brother's pulled any cartoon that didn't have the massive success of a Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, etc, so it took awhile for me to find most of the HB library. However thanks to Brian Marriotti's love for Hanna Barbera (and my mom's childhood love for Hanna Barbera too), I was able to discover the variety of HB characters through the Funko Pops that Brian made.

In my opinion, Hanna Barbera (as well as Ad Mascots), are the best characters for Wobblers and Pops, so it became my favorite thing to collect. Super colorful, huge variety of vintage toys too, and Brian went all out with different lines (soda, dorbz, funkovision, spastik plastik, nodniks)

Also, I've always thought older cartoons looked more appealing and beautiful. The decline of cartoons is a massive tragedy.

Oh wow, which ones did you have? If so, its too bad I couldn't find more. I remember your collection being pretty awesome.

Many of my protos came from Wacky Kim, Wilky, Jeff Guerin, John K & various others.

If you ever need to get rid of anymore protos, I know a guy. That guy would be me!

I love hearing how younger people find their way to classic cartoons. The original Hanna-Barbera cartoons were somewhat primitive compared to modern standards, but the simpilcity of artwork was more appealing to my young mind's sensibilities. It allowed us to focus on the characters and story, not the animation. I actually enjoyed the Bugs Bunny cartoons (original only) a little bit more than HB; for the stories I guess, but I loved the HB characters--all of them. You may have seen (or not) in my posts that the reason I started collecting Funko in the first place was because of the HB Wobblers. The Wobblers are exact replicas of my childhood cartoon friends--and who doesn't love that. That's why I don't collect the HB PoP, they were stylized versions, which I thought were cool, but they didn't speak to me. If I wasn't such a Huck fan and obsessed with getting as many Hucks as possible, I wouldn't have collected the PoP Hucks.

As much as I love my Hucks, this is still my favorite shelf in my den...

Image

What I really like about your collection is all the non-Funko HB stuff you have. I wish I had picked up more items like that. It really looks good all set up like that.

I liked the Looney Tunes cartoons more than Hanna Barbera, as a kid as well. The storylines and selection of characters was great.

I definitely like the wobblers more than the pops too. Much closer likeness.

Thanks though Scotty! One day I will get more 60s Hanna Barbera toys but as of now, I've been trying to get as many protos as possible.
I gotta somehow catch up on every wobbler and vintage toy, and proto and all. It's a tough task lol. Fortunately, many, many collectors have been purging their protos for money, so its still very possible to catch up.
