Let's See Those Bobblehead Collections!

[ooo-ribay]

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.

For my grandkids, the bobble head crap is what the 60’s and 70’s models are to most of us

What country were the original vintage bobbles or nodders made?

Per John Brey, a big reseller of vintage bobbin' heads and owner of the Nodder Exchange website:

"1960's Bobbing Head dolls were manufactured by Lego, a Swiss firm, and as we all know were put together in Japan. Apparently Lego made an agreement with Sports Specialties of Los Angeles California which gave S.S. the exclusive rights to import and distribute the dolls. Another firm, Bobbie Enterprises,Inc. sold them through mail order."

Thank you ooo ribay for the answer. Is that the same Lego who makes Legos plastic building blocks?
