Age of The Nerd
Derived from all things pop culture and nostalgia, the new collection stands as Funko’s first concentrated foray into the world of premium collectibles, expanding the product portfolio to touch and impact every level of collector. Based on the iconic food mascot, Project Fred 01 – Bob’s Big Boy is a nod to Funko’s first product, the Wacky Wobbler.
Aiming to transform pivotal pop culture moments into tangible sources of fun and fandom for fans everywhere, Project Fred 01 – Bob’s Big Boy spotlights Freddy, Funko’s mascot, embodying some of the most nostalgic brands in pop culture, beginning with the food icon. The collectible is a substantial and sophisticated addition to a pop culture connoisseur’s display, standing at an impressive 11” tall. Adding to the collectability, only 750 of this hard vinyl item will be produced for this drop, and 75 of the figures will be a variant of Freddy in an alternate Bob’s Big Boy outfit. Priced at $295, each figure is encased in premium matte packaging, complete with a numbered certificate of authenticity
Aiding in Funko’s “fans-first” philosophy, Project Fred 01 – Bob’s Big Boy will be powered by EQL, the ecommerce end-to-end launch platform. Utilizing EQL’s proprietary drop structure, the platform helps brands get the world’s most in-demand products into the hands of passionate fans, and makes launches more reliable, fair, and memorable.
