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."
