Collector Zone _ Show and Tell _ My Bobblehead Collection

Posted by: otis0220 Apr 30 2011, 06:20 PM

I'm starting yet another thread....hopefully not too many more. I will be posting whatever bobbleheads I get. I haven't been a big bobblehead collector, I'd search on eBay occasionally but recently I've been looking a little more frequently. So to start off I figured I'd take a picture of what I have, including a Manny Ramirez that just came in today.

So on the top is Joe Carter (got for xmas back in 2004), Dontrelle Willis (2005 or 2006?) and Brett Favre (in box of 2002 Heads Up! cards break over last summer). On the bottom row: Manny Ramirez (today!), Chris Webber (few months ago), Baron Davis (about 2 months ago) and the Charles Johnson and Cliff Floyd I got at a Publix (best supermarket ever!) in Florida back in.....I think 2001. Let's see what else comes in later on.

Nice bobbleheads.

I'm a bobblehead collector myself. I have a thread here with my collection. If you'd like to see it, run a search and I'm sure you'll find it. I haven't been able to add to it lately.

If you're interested, I might have a bobblehead or 2 of some of the Carolina Hurricanes hockey players... I'm pretty sure I have an extra Eric Staal, maybe another player as well...

Either way, SICK collection!

Thanks Mike. I've actually seen your thread, that may have urged me to go after some more and start my own thread haha.

Thanks Alex. Not really into hockey, but I would consider some older players. I'm not really a Hurricanes fan but hey they're ok. Let me know who the other player is anyway.

I collect action figures/statues and I'm shocked! Dust! Dust on your bobbles!! laugh.gif Only sports related in your collection? I collect sports and movies/TV (not a single bobblehead though tongue.gif)

Poor Baron Davis, they made him look so big, I thought it was Robert Tractor Traylor. HAHA

Haha well I can't say what's up with Johnson's helmet, unless dust's been on there for years. As much as I rub my thumb over the lighter areas, it really doesn't do anything. Floyd's just appears to be darker. Yeah I only have sports stuff in my collection. The only non-sports I might get would be Family Guy as far as I can think...

Funny you should say the Family GUy bobble heads.. I've been thinking about getting the Star Wars versions smile.gif

Posted by: otis0220 May 3 2011, 07:05 PM

Ahh those happen to be my least favorites of the series. I like practically every special over the Star Wars one, but don't get me wrong there are a couple funny things in there. Just was never much of a Star Wars fan to begin with.

Edgar Martinez Bobblehead

As of now, this is the best deal I got on a decent bobbler. Paid 6.59 for it shipped. Another Mariner great to be coming in at the end of the week maybe.

You'll keep your latest add IN THE BOX right? No dust on it! laugh.gif

Stromile Swift Bobblehead

I was a fan of the Big Unit, especially when he was with the Mariners. He was powerful and had some awesome hair. biggrin.gif Now, Stromile's probably the most unusual bobblehead I have. I was a bigger fan of the Grizz back then and I thought Stromile was the man. His dunking ability was just amazing. I was fortunate enough to get his autograph when he was with the Nets couple years ago. So on eBay I happened to find this guy selling a few old Grizzlies bobbleheads: Lorenzen Wright, Michael Dickerson and Stromile. It was just a little more than I would've liked to pay but I ended up getting one.

very nice additions to the collection!

Ok guys here's an update, don't know when the next one may be. This came from Taiwan and I really like this one, looks very accurate. This definitely is one of my favorites.

Ken Griffey Jr. Bobblehead

This commemorates his first stint with the M's. Underneath says "Seattle Mariners 1989-1999 Historic Edition." If you guys want to check him out, he has very detailed bobbleheads for a pretty decent price.

Hey guys, been 4 years since an update.

Last year I got a bobblehead that was a giveaway for the final Mets game of the season. The Mets first skipper, Casey Stengel.

Couple days ago I went to a Brooklyn Cyclones game and they were giving away not a Juan Lagares bobblehead, but a bobble...glove. Has decent bobble, but first I had to rid some of the glue stuck around the spring so that it could actually bobble. These 2 are the smallest ones I've ever seen, not like my other bulkier ones.

They're making em smaller these days. I got a Chris Carpenter 2014 SGA Bobble Head and thought the same thing. They're tiny-the heads alone on the old ones are bigger than this new generation of bobbles. Love that Stengel, btw.

Keep this thread alive with more head shakers 😀

Posted by: otis0220 Aug 14 2015, 08:32 PM

Thanks Peter. And yes Marc it's a shame, thanks.

Nice collection, you have some very cool bobbles! I have some extras if you are looking for any others to add to your collection.
