Funko Bobblehead Pops

Whether you’re a youngster or a parent looking for a gift for a child, you’ll find bobblehead pops in all shapes and sizes. These lovable dolls are made of vinyl and measure around four inches. Some of them come in different themes and are designed to be played with and displayed. Other models are meant to mimic characters in popular television shows. And, of course, you’ll find a variety of different characters to collect, from the classics to the new, craze.

Funko has been making bobbleheads since 1998. They began with the Big Boy bobblehead, which became a sensation with pop culture enthusiasts and collectors. Later, they expanded their line to include licensors, including Disney and Major League Baseball teams. And, after a deal with a toy company that makes Pop! Vinyl figures, they have become their biggest success to date. But, they’re far from the only firm making bobblehead pops.

Star Wars Rebels has a variety of bobblehead pops to choose from, including the adorable Mythrol. These figures are snapped onto a half-inch-thick display base, which adds height and a stylish appearance to each figure. And, since the characters of the Star Wars franchise have their own bobbleheads, they’re great for collectors and kids! No matter who you’re shopping for, you’ll find a bobblehead that matches your personality!

Funko’s history changed dramatically after Brian Mariotti was hired as CEO. A new line called Fantastik Plastik was introduced and featured characters from Duck Dodgers, Wacky Racers, and the Mad Monster Party. While they were static figures, they did have fantastic detail. The company also released a new line, called Spastik Plastik, featuring characters from their own properties. Eventually, they expanded into many other areas, including licensed characters.

Whether a bobblehead is a real action figure or a fake is largely determined by the licensing arrangement. A bobblehead that has been removed from its box will not be worth as much as a regular Pop Funko vinyl figure. It’s easy to confuse a fake with a real one. And while it’s possible to find a fake bobblehead in the secondary market, you don’t want to risk buying it just because it’s cheaper than the real thing.

While collecting may be a fun hobby for children, some collectors use the hobby for a deeper emotional purpose. It can relieve stress and serve as a coping mechanism in times of distress. One USC alumnus began collecting Funko Pops after his dog died. Then he began to sell his extra Pops for a profit on the Mercari app. He has a Medusa Pop that has made him over $80.
