For the most part, it's not very difficult to find most of the current MN bobbles. Typically the hardest are theme events and season ticket hold bobbles from the Twins. So I've been expanding the collection a bit - looking at former minor league affiliates of the Twins. I've found a few more but a lot of minor league clubs want to promote current players or fan favorites, and lets face it...there aren't a ton of fan favorites when it comes to Twins players from minor league teams. However, the Salt Lake Bees (formerly the Salt Lake Buzz) did a David Ortiz bobblehead this past season that I previously blogged about. Those are exactly the kind of bobbleheads I'm adding to my collection now.
Typically the collecting year starts with Twinsfest. However, one of my favorite days of the year is January 7th. Also known as National Bobblehead Day. It'll be trending on pretty much all social media sites and its pretty damn fun to see other collections and specific bobbleheads. I believe come February the Twins will announce their promotional schedule and we'll learn more about the bobbleheads they plan on doing in 2017! Their minor league affiliates will most likely start announcing their promos in February or March.
