Any Bobblehead expert, Need help

[guy3050]

Got this Bobblehead from the Wheatland auction, It was part of Uncle Jimmy's collection, I have never seen a Expos Bobblehead like this, I notice that it is very similar to The Chicago Whitesox 1970-72 Wedge set with the same made in Japan sticker on green paint at bottom of The Nodder, any help identifying the origins of this bobblehead would be very helpful as there is no mention of a Expos one in the set

Could it originally have been another different bobblehead, that was later painted to portray Expos? If you look at the green paint on the bottom/side of the base, it shows a much further degree of wear than the remainder. The word "Expos" on the base also looks to be hand-painted, as opposed to a typical decal. Same for the Expos logo on his chest.

In addition, his uniform is so white that the paint looks newer than the Bobblehead itself. It could just be the photo or the flash, but I would also look closely under the head-rim to get a better handle on what (if anything) was done to the doll.

Cool piece regardless, and hope this helps!

I’d say it’s a homemade job from an obscure set i.e not color, white, green, gold or wedge base.

Definitely homemade. A fantasy piece.

Hmmmm....I stand corrected on the eyebrows.

Still, the gold base and crude “EXPOS” makes me think someone re-made this from another doll.

Even if it's homemade, I like it. Hope you didn't pay too much for a fantasy piece, but forever made it had some skill.
