"like wow man... a bouncin' rat fink wacky wobbler!"
- big daddy.

during the hot rod craze of the 60's, no one made more of impact on popular culture than legendary car customizer ed "big daddy" roth! while ed toured the country with his wild fiberglass showcars, fans would line up for original roth monster t-shirts and water decals. rat fink, big daddy's fly-infested alter ego and trademark soon became roth's most popular monster. the kooks at funko thought you might dig your very own rat fink wacky wobbler to hang out with. this pesky little rodent will help dress-up any china cabinet, garage, bathroom, printer or dashboard!
