Guess I can now say I have Huge Nodder collection. This year the Cincinnati Reds had a feature exhibit on Nodders. They had three of these giant 6 foot bobbleheads custom built (and yes, the heads do bob back and forth). In order to help them recoup the cost of this portion of the exhibit, I purchased 2 of the 3. The third is at auction (ends 30th of Sept) through major league auctions.

Awesome Big Bobble Bobber

Agree! That's awesome.... a perfect jumbo sized representation of the original. Whoever crafted those did an AMAZING job!

Huge pickups!

Thanks. The quality and detail on these is amazing. I am a big supporter of/and contributor to the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. Each year, in addition to the more permanent exhibits, they curate a feature exhibit. I think their original thoughts were that some local business entity(ies) would step up to purchase these to help offset the cost as they would look great in just about any business (ok, maybe not every business) Sadly, this did not happen. I bought 2, but just can’t take 3.

I am really hoping that someone snags the 3rd one in the major league auction:

Thank goodness that's not Giants or I would pretty much have to have it.

I'll bet the exhibit is pretty cool.

Wow, is that giant Reds bobblehead cool!
