Enthusiasts watch out — Funko has announced their first concentrated foray into the world of premium collectibles with Project Fred 01. Funko is on a roll with new releases. From the Valentine’s Day special, to the Hello Kitty anniversary, and the DunKings release, there’s been no shortage of new Funko related products. The aim is to expand their product portfolio in order 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.
Funko pulls from all things pop culture and nostalgia. Funko’s new collectible is a sophisticated addition to a pop culture connoisseur’s display. It stands at an impressive 11” tall. Adding to the collectability, only 750 of this hard vinyl item will be available for this drop. On top of that, 75 of the figures will be a variant of Freddy in an alternate Bob’s Big Boy outfit. The Funko costs $295 and each figure is encased in premium matte packaging. It’s complete with a numbered certificate of authenticity and will be available for purchase via the EQL platform.
“As we look beyond our 25th anniversary, we’re taking it back to where it all began with our first Wacky Wobbler by bringing Bob’s Big Boy and Funko together again for Project Fred,” said Mike Becker, Senior Vice President, Creative & Entertainment.
Project Fred shows Funko’s mascot Freddy as he personifies some of the most iconic pop culture brands. Bring your collection into the future. But do so while connecting it to the core icons, brands, and moments that first sparked interest in collectibles.
