If you are selling it bear then hopefully the person who bought the set that Pete sold might want it! Just a hint, LOL!

Nice!!!! I would have bought it when you first listed it, but already had one - but I think mine may be red.

you just need the yellow one and the orange one :eek:

Yes, I do. Especially since I just bought a 1/24 Orange shirt Charlie Brown wobbler and already have a yellow shirt wobbler so I now also need a red shirt wobbler (never knew one existed until the other day).

The hunt for Funko continues.......

I have all three protos and production pieces, woo-hoo! The orange production piece is difficult to find because the case was "lost" at Comic Con.

Yea, I remember that. :-k

Sounds like an interesting story....anyone care to tell?

Postby **FFJim** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:47 pm

The 24 orange shirts were supposed to be distributed by Funko. The yellow and red shirts were being distributed by Funko and the Peanuts people. Somehow the case of orange made it to the Peanuts booth. Funatic volunteers scoured the Peanuts stock trying to locate the missing orange shirt Wobblers, but they didn't materialize. It was feared that all 24 had been given away to Peanuts collectors. I believe it was after Comic Con that some of the Wobblers were located and given back to Funko (6 or 12 if memory serves).

There's one in the Funko proto vault. :eek:

I love weird Funko stories like this orange shirt Charlie bit from the past. While I enjoy these Wobbler Tales of Yore, they randomly and rarely appear- and only if an elder who knows a story behind them reads that thread. It would be great to compile a thread devoted to lost/damaged/rejected/scrapped/bootlegged/variant/etc. pieces of Funko history. Jacob started the wax thread, but as there seem to be very few wax pieces that survived/exist in known collections, there haven't been any new additions. I loves me some stories.

Please, Sir, I want some more.

Jacob, I keep forgetting to send you the photo of the Sugar Cult Wax heads that I have. The body.............well that is on three pieces and I am too chicken to try and glue it together (for fear I would ruin it).

The guitar neck of one of my Protos broke, super glue worked on it. I was scared too.

I ordered some Rhino Glue with a special tool kit for working on delicate stuff. I am going to attempt it when it gets here. Wish me luck!

Well here is a small pic of the two heads in a large plastic case, not the best pic, but I will get the photographer working on a better picture.

Very nice, Kevin. Two heads are always better than one.

Postby **Scotty** » Wed Apr 24, 2013 10:48 am

Craig, I agree, your Hillary is quite the model of scary.

Kevin, the wax heads are cool; I'm not familiar with the Sugar Cult pieces--what are they?

Postby **Reverend** » Wed Apr 24, 2013 11:52 am

Sugar cult is an old 80's/90's alternative band. Not main stream but still cool.
