Funko Wacky Wobblers brings to life all our old time favorite cartoon, advertising characters, and culture from childhood in a quality bobblehead form. This guide will list the important factors of collecting and will serve as a directory for upcoming, active and retired wacky wobblers. Each wacky wobbler stands about 7" to 8" average, some are larger and have colorful themed display window boxes and the history of the charater. The first figures to resemble what we now call bobblehead dolls came from Germany and were called "Nodders". These original nodders were large ceramic figures, and stood between 6 and 8 inches tall. The name "nodders" or "bobblehead" describes the bobbing action of the doll's head, which is lightly connected to the body by a light spring.

Funko created their first wacky wobbler in 1998 -- the popular Bobs Big Boy. The company has produced over 400 wobblers since then, including cartoon, advertising and pop culture icons.

Are these just toys? Do they have any value as a collectible?

Wacky wobblers make great gifts, and children of all ages love these toys. However, these toys are also considered to be a high valued collectibles. Funko produces a certain quantity of wobblers each time which determines the value for each wobbler. Those with limited production as scarce and hard to find so their collectible value is much higher. Some wobblers already have a high collectible value over $700.

A wacky wobbler must be in Mint condition to be be given its' highest collectible value. Be sure to keep the original boxes in Mint Condition. If the box is damaged or if the wobbler does not have a box, it looses its' collectible value.

Wacky wobblers can be found in many different categories throughout ebay but generally are listed under the following Main category.....Collectible Wacky Wobblers
