Baracus don't take no jibber jabber in the van

Mr T - Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Head Van Bank - Funko
Mr T - Wacky Wobbler Bobble-Head Van Bank - Funko

Mr T had a cult following back in the eighties with his tough guy image; his famous catch phrase "I pity the fool", his remarkable fashion sense, with his large amount of gold chains around his neck and his cool mohawk hairstyle.


In the television series The A-Team, Mr T drove the black GMC van, which he used to transport his miltary team-mates around from mission to mission.


Mr T comes in all his glory with bobble-action and money storage skills, the bobble head bank measures approximately 8 inches in height and remember fool, you can always bank on Mr. T.



 
 

Han Solo loves tight spaces

Star Wars Han Solo bobble head - Wacky wobbler from Funko
Star Wars Han Solo bobble head - Wacky wobbler from Funko
Carbonite. Wonderful stuff that. Seen famously at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back" as Han Solo (Harrison Ford) finds himself captured and hauled away like a slab of meat for the eat and plenty. Claiming a far better captive-in-hold rate than prison chains or silk ties, it's at the top of all bounty hunter wishlists.

But what's cheaper than carbonite and can allow all you bounty hunters a clearer product display of your captive? A plastic box of course. Like the one seen here displaying Han Solo once more. Colourful and with eyes that look like they were painted on, you can now allow your bidders, buyers and other people to see exactly in full array, the person you have in locks.

Joining the ranks of bobble heads from wacky wobbler makers, Funko, he's still the same Millennium Falcon pilot all so many Star Wars lovers love to love.

Not so much for those fans of Greedo though.

(Does this maverick have some kind of fetish for being bound by tight spaces?)

 
 

Beans for Christmas

Mr Bean wacky wobbler - From Funko
Pinto beans, green beans, jelly beans, franks and beans. All sorts of beans. And then there's Mr Bean.

Rowan Atkinson in his other role outside of Black Adder and as an incarnation of The Doctor.

No much to say about Mr Bean given that he himself has not much to say. Often going through life with all the luck of a four leaf clover walking around with a rabbit's foot. All the luck to the clover, none to the three-legged rabbit bopping about in some burrow.

Asking Mr. Bean for his thoughts on what Christmas is all about and what it means to him is hard fought. So don't bother. Instead, just pop down to the local pirate ships and hook up with seasons worth of Black Adder and be done with it. That's Christmas right there done and sorted.

(Yes, Atkinson has been in such fine fare including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Johnny English but that's for another segment for some other day. Willing.)

Looney Tunes wacky wobblers - Made by Funko
Looney Tunes wacky wobblers - Made by Funko

Enter the Wacky-Wobbler, Bobble-Heads! Looney Tunes characters get bobble-fied; featuring Porky Pig, Taz, Tweety and Marvin the Martian. Made from 'nostril burning' plastic, comes pre-painted and with super bobble-action. These bobble-heads have great likeness from the Warner Bros. Cartoon, that most of us used to watch on television. Each bobble-head sold separately.



 
 

Coiffure master Fry of Planet Express

Futurama Fry bobble head - Funko
Futurama Fry bobble head - Funko
Philip J. Fry, delivery boy at Planet Express and laser cannon gunner of the Planet Express Ship. Also happens to be his own grandfather in a twisted trick of time travel. Best head of hair in all of the Planet Express crew too.

Does he use hair gel or some other kind of product to keep them locks sticking up in such a fat fashion of style and strength? Who knows, but it does look mighty fine to show off such a fringe to shoot straight for the stars. Yes indeed, and as the wacky wobbler will nod and shake yes to as well.

Food fat and all the jelly you find when you're in the sauce of chicken might serve well. Might feel way greasy after a while though. And not the best for those who are looking to sweat much. Unless tasting food sweat is your thing. Which it might be, that's an individual prerogative.

Super hold hair spray or product comes nowhere close to the grip and tightness oozing from a double colon squirt of epoxy resin. Or the squibs of super glue. That stuff will do a holding wonder like bubble gum under a warm seat.

Or there's the other option. Watch There's Something About Mary and pay attention for a relatively free hair application source.

 
 

Scooby Doo and a scooby snack for you

Scooby Doo 20-inch bobble bank - Funko
Scooby Doo 20-inch bobble bank - Funko
Dog biscuits look so enticing don't they? Nicely shaped with a crunch that looks like it delivers a solid chomp. Even available in varieties where chewing and eating on these canine gut destined foods and such will clean the teeth. And what about those with the jerky?

Taking a bag of dog food to snack on at some sporting event, or even that of the cinema, not so enticing after all. Especially taste wise. And there is never enough cat food around to wash out the flavour of chowing down into a handful of dog biscuits on hand.

Wonder what then was in those Scooby snacks that Shaggy and his pal Scooby Doo were always mowing down.

Feed a dog any kind of dog food made for them and they should be right, in moderation. But some chocolate on that and watch them go to the vet. It's like watching them eat a pool of coins, shiny and coated in their own sort of evil. Unlike popping the coins into a Scooby Doo bobble bank. Do that and wait for what comes out the other side. No gloves needed.
