Let's See Those Bobblehead Collections!
 

I love bobbleheads. I am a collector of Yankees bobbles as well as of the Jets, Knicks, Islanders, Super Heroes, celebrities and anything else that catches my eye.

I will admit that my collection is modern. I only have one vintage nodder; a 1968 Lil' Dribbler NY Knicks bobble. I would absolutely love to see collections of other bobblehead collectors. Show off your collections here, vintage or modern. Doesn't matter to me.

Only have Cubs.....

Love the Cards collection. Bet you'd love to add this guy I met last season at Busch.

Ballpark Village Yadi ?
 

Where did you meet the 6 foot tall Yadi bobbblehead ?

It was in the ballpark. Behind the right/center bleachers.

Great Cardinals bobbles.

Loving those vintage Giants bobbles Rob!

I can't tell what your favorite team is...

J/k, great Browns collection!

Mike

Great stuff, Showdawg, especially the top two rows and the promo.

Does the Manziel come with a flask in his inner pocket? ;)

Thanks Mike and Rob.....and yes, the Manziel came with a flask, a rolled up $100 bill, and a plastic blow up swan:):):):):):):):)

Not nearly as focused as those magnificent collections above, I guess my collection is all over the place. Let's just say I like the Mascot Heads...

Might be my last time posting pictures here...

Those pics are upside-right on both my phone and on my computer. The only time they appear sideways is when I post here.... Ugh!

beautiful collection Mark. I don't mind the sideways angle. I would sit upside down to look at a awesome collection like that.

Someday I will add the vintage Yankee bobbles and Figureal pieces you have to my Yankees collection. Someday.

Mike

Couple of Bobbles
 

Couple of Bobbles - My Dad took me to Cooperstown in the 60's and told me I could pick out something to buy. The Reds (baseball head) bobblehead seemed the coolest at the time. I have never regretted it!

C’mon, Mark! ;)

Some of the generics are better than the pros

3 ft Manziels

Can you tell which player I collect??

Does anyone out there collect bobbleheads of Net54 members? :D

Awesome Gary!!! Are there going to be autographed versions available?

You’re a good looking guy. The TV cameras added 10 pounds. ;)

Nice to see you made your piece with Frazier.

BTW, thanks for the rally cry last year. We now will have to find another, lol.

Mike

Some of mine. I have some in storage due to lack of display space.

Gorgeous pieces Commish Bob.

Mike

Thanks Mike

Took a couple more pics of the other side of my hobby room. Sorry to say I'm the world's worst photographer. :o

commishbob,

Really great looking collection. I’m a fan of all things Orioles as well as a “Baltimore” Colts fan. I haven’t picked up any of the modern bobbing heads, but possibly will one day; at least the ones that catch my eye. Ultimately like to get all of the plastic figures from the statue unveiling’s; I do have the Brooks from the event.

Thanks Mark. I'm in a never-ending quest for all things BALTIMORE Colts! I've got lots of things to post but I'm still trying to figure out where to do it among the various subforums here. I finished off a complete run of regular B-Colts cards and found a lot of oddball stuff as well. I've blogged much of it.

https://5toolcollector.blogspot.com/...s+card+history

Commish Bob, your photo skills are not as bad as you think. That is a great collection you have.

I read your blog. It's a great blog, I enjoy it immensely. I used to blog also. wrote the Sexy Geek's Sports Room. Had to give it up as my laptop was breaking down and when I gave up cable the internet went with it. I have been considering restarting it since I am a writer at heart and I miss the blog a lot. We'll see.

Mike

Mike I remember your blog...I had it in my blog list while you were actively posting. You should crank it back up.


But as you know it can be a burden to post regularly. I've been ignoring my '58 and '60 Topps blogs and I feel guilty but I have had so many projects going (hobby and non-hobby) that it got tough to keep up. Now that I'm retired I can look at them again.

Thanks Commish, I appreciate that. I really want to restart the blog, so I just may do so. Love your O's/Colts collection.

Mike

I know I’ve read some on your blog. Brooksie is my favorite and know you’ve placed a few cards on there in the past to view (also your top 10).

Keep posting the fine items!

Nice seeing everyone's bobbleheads.
Here is most of mine

My Bobbleheads
 

Here is a sample of my collection of bobbles

Great stuff everybody... especially love the Chief Wahoos!

He doesn’t exist after this year. ;)

Awesome collections Greg & Ron. Love the set up Greg and I spied a vintage Batman lunch box in there as well.

Mike

Thanks Mike,

Good eye, I'm surprised you saw that in my crappy phone pic.

I'm trying to figure out how to display my baseball and superhero collections in the same room

I'm a superhero collector also, mainly Spider-Man and Batman. I have been trying to come up with a way to display the two collections in the same area as well when I move. I guess it will be size of area depending.

I do have a photo of Yankee Stadium signed by Spider-Man artist John Romita Sr that I figured I could hang in between the Yankees & Spidey collections as a "bridge" between the 2 collections.

Mike

Mike, Yankee Stadium photo signed by the legend Romita sounds like a good bridge between the two.

Here is another one of my bridges,

Attachment 306230

Hi Greg,

Man, that is very nice. Hot Toys & statues?

I am a huge Adam West Batman fan, so I love that statue down below. I have never seen it before. Is it an official release?

Mike

Hi Mike,

The Adam West Statue is a Sideshow Premium Format. The Wonderwoman on the top shelf is the only non Hot Toys figure of the top 2 shelves.

I'm also a big Adam West fan. I was going to meet him and Burt Ward at last September at the Rose City Comic Con But Mr. West passed away about a month before the show. I still met Burt Ward and got to talk to him for 2 or 3 minutes. I also got William Shatners auto. Best autograph experience I've had since the 80's when I Got Mantle, Koufax and a slew of other HOF at Portland Ore BB Card shows.

I was lucky. I got to meet him twice. Once solo, the other time with Burt Ward & Lee Merriwether. It was great both times.

I was thrilled once the show got released on DVD and Blu-Ray and a flood of merchandise related to the show was released. I was able to get a few things here and there. The Hot Toys figures are holy grails. I hope to own them at some point.

Mike

Here are some of mine. Sorry for the bad pictures.

Awesome collection, DWR....

Just love that 1950s - 60s stuff!

Beautiful collection Dwr11. I love the vintage bobbleheads and figurines. Also love the buttons and magazines you put in the cabinet to display with the bobbles.

Mike

Nodders
 

I wish I had some these back

Holy cow, Bob! Do you still have the Bathing Beauty and the hip nodder?

Not as rare as Bob's weirdos, but I thought I would post my Willies. L to R: gold base (expensive but obtainable), legible signature (rare), dark face w/bat, light face w/bat, light face w/ball, silver foil sticker. Lou Criscione sold me the silver foil years ago and said it was extremely rare. I've never seen another.

Dodgers
 

Scott, no I do not, I wish I did

Wow, some gorgeous bobbles and figurines being shown.

Mike

Bob, Rob and DWR, Fantastic collections you all have!

Geez Rob, only one row of Mays Bobbleheads? Just kidding, Impressive.

Bobbleheads, wow. I wish I had a better feel for the pulse of vintage baseball memorabilia.

Here are some of my Dodgers bobbleheads.

The minis have so many variations of head styles that I'll be able to add to my collection slowly over time. For example, they come with hair parted to left, hair parted to right, moon face, smiling with a closed mouth or showing teeth. They also have them holding a short bat, long bat or a glove and ball.

I also posted pictures of a variety of the square base Dodgers and some other miscellaneous ones as well.

I regret not buying one of the weirdo nodders that Bob was selling (I think about a year ago).

ggary, I love those vintage bobbles. I always wished the Yankees has as many variations as other teams, like the Dodgers did.

I have never seen a Dodger bobble with the LA separated on the cap and Dodgers in red script. How rare is that bobble?

Mike

As much as I hate the D**gers, those are some great nodders! The Giants minis come in the same variations. You forgot to mention “eyes left” or “eyes right.” The Giants have that variation in the normal size but I haven’t seen it in the minis. Some Giants minis also don’t have painted sleeves.

The guy between the orange wood base and the Buddy Flex...what’s he made out of?

Did you see the screwball Dodger on eBay, a few weeks back?

YankeesJetsFan, that is a wedge base nodder. According to the nodderpriceguide it is rated as an 8 out of 10 to find difficulty (or a little harder to find the Werdo screwball [7 out of 10 difficulty]).

ooo-ribay, thanks, the red base nodder is made of rubber. It looks very similar to the Buddy Flex but, besides their bases, they are not exactly the same. Also, I did see the screwball on ebay but the one I have is in better condition.

Thanks ggary.

Which nodder price guide do you refer to? I use Warman's Field guide. I am looking into picking up Tim Hunter's Bobbing Head Dolls book soon. I'm always looking for books or price guides to refer to in my collecting adventures.

Thanks,

Mike

^^^^ Both of those guides are great for the pictures but pretty hit and miss on price. I think Tim Hunter’s is 18 years old and prices keep going up, up, up.

It's weird, Gary....1/4 of you D**ger minis are looking the "wrong" way....I have never seen a Giants mini looking anything but left. Also, notice two of mine do not have the painted sleeves.

YankeesJetsFan - I used the nodderpriceguide.com for relative rarity.

ooo-ribay - The eyes looking the opposite way seems to be common with the moon face with the swirl hair. If you look at Bob Freedman's photo again you can notice that his is also looking the "wrong" way.

Nobody wants to see your willies. I thought this was a family site. :eek:

I only have a couple but have one college football I can't find any data on. It is in a box and has Japan on the bottom so I presume it is from the 60's.
Any info would be appreciated.

Could you post a better pic?

I'm guessing this is the toes up bobble from the 60's? I'll have to refer to my guide when I get home to be 100% sure.

Mike

Mike,
See what I can do. Thanks.

Jim

Mike,
For some reason the system is not letting me upload pictures?? I have before. I can email them to you if that would help.

Jim

3' Bobblehead
 

Hi Gang:

I am not a big bobblehead guy, more into other figures like Hartlands, Southlands, HOF Busts, Signature Miniatures, Robert Goulds, Big League statues, Wickhams and the Aurora Greatest Moments in Sports.

But, saying that, I had to have this 3 foot Ashburn Bobblehead for my Ashburn collection! Looking for another one if anyone out there has one or knows where I can find one PLMK

Fred

Sooooo....I saw this "Giant sized" SF nodder on ebay...the seller wanted $460. The bobber itself was old but the decals looked all wrong. I discovered it is part of the "Champs" series...they also did basketball and bowling. I picked up the baseball version and made my own fantasy peice. Better than the $460 version, IMHO. :p

Finally got my 3 Foot Browns Elf

That and the giant Manziels.....were they sold or used for promotional purposes?

They were sold, but a very limited number were made

4 foot custom I'm working on....just need a Browns Bud Light 12 pack

Great bobblehead additions.

I have never seen that Giants bobble before. Could you please provide more info on it?

Mike

For my Expos collection , apart from a tiny chip on the little finger of his right hand , The bobble looks like it came out of the Factory yesterday

Beautiful Expos Bobblehead! A very nice find.
