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 - merging the Big Boy mascot and the Funko Mascot together.

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.
