Evolution of Bobs Big Boy Logo and Collectables

Newly acquired Big Boy Bank from 1999 made by Funko, who produced these souvenirs from '99 to 2003. This was the first job by the founder of the company, Mike Becker. The second figure is from the 1970's by the "Marriott Corporation", which must be the parent company of the restaurant chain.
Other toymakers have tried, but Funko makes the best Big Boy stuff. They also have a Freddy Big Boy bobblehead - mergin the Big Boy mascot and the Funko Mascot together.

The new restaurant at the original store location, now changed into the Los Angeles "Googie" style architecture



The original Big Boy got a job at the restaurant and was
soon immortalized with this early logo for the restaurant 

Dave Frisch bought the rights to open his own francise of Big Boy restaurants from Bob Wian in 1946, starting with his first restaurant called the mainliner in Cincinnati, Ohio. 


Bob's Big Boy logo ran through a different evolution than the Frisch's Big Boy.
