Let's See Those Bobblehead Collections!

[polakoff]

I've got a few hundred (modern) bobbles and have been looking for a way to display them. No room for bookshelves in my "cave", but I don't trust shelves hanging on the wall since I'm worried they'll bobble themselves right off the edge and fall onto the floor. Just bought 14 of these from IKEA, by my calculations they should hold 8-9 standard sized bobbles each and I'll feel like my little guys are safe behind a bar without being obscured.

Those ought to work well, David. I used Ikea “rails,” turned upside down. Mine don’t have the safety bar feature.

Those look good too! Was getting ready to purchase some picture ledges from Target when I found these new IKEA guys. They should arrive today, looking forward to putting them up this weekend.

A better pic (not sure why the other came out so small):

I think I just figured something out....

(from left to right) The first Giants bobbin' head (other than the rubber Buddy Flex) was the orange wood base with no decals; next came the color base with no decals; next came the white base mini's with decals. After those it was the white bases. The white bases with decals are purported to be only 5% of the white base run. The decals are tiny. I'm now thinking they used the mini decals on the first white bases...

You guys should come to Milwaukee to the National Bobble Head Museum. I believe they have over 10,000 different Bobbles.

Got a feeling it would be a bunch of modern crap. The term “bobblehead” never existed in the glory days of nodders/bobbing heads.

Saw a Bobblehead Hall of Fame at private collection in San Francisco. over 400 vintage and promotional nodders dispayed by team.
