Toy OTD: Funko Sugar Bear Wacky Wobbler

Funko's primary lure (at least for me) has been their Hanna-Barbera and cereal character licenses. They're great at picking characters that few have merchandised, or at least haven't been for a good twenty-five or thirty years! Not surprisingly, Sugar Bear - the mascot for Super Sugar Crisp (now Post Honey Crisp, even though it's the same cereal) - is one of them.

Even though the cereal has undergone a name change, Funko still printed "Sugar Bear" on his sweater, a nice retro touch. The pose is a little symmetrical, but overall it's a good sculpt, nicely on-model. The paint work is fine, though quality can be a little inconsistent, so you may want to look at the toy in person (or peruse several if you can still find them in a store) to make sure you get a good paint job. The proportions are good for a nodder, so you probably won't have to worry about the head sagging or listing in a few months.

It's still easy to get this toy - in fact, it's been marked down, so you can get it reduced at cherrygames.com for $8.99 + shipping.
