Sneak Peek - Sweet Spot Bobblehead - Joe Mauer

The Twins announced that this season's Sweet Spot bobblehead (a benefit given to select Minnesota Twins Season Ticket Holders) will be Joe Mauer!  This is Mauer's second Sweet Spot bobblehead and both of them are home runs!  I'm sure this one will be pretty popular among Twins fans and bobblehead collectors!  Can't wait to pick up mine in September!!

Sneak Peek - Championship Chisel Bobblehead

Tonight, the St. Cloud Rox are giving away 400 Championship Chisel bobbleheads!  As is typical with these, they are outstanding bobbles!  Great detail and Chisel is a great looking mascot!  The Rox have done another great bobblehead this season, of course celebrating their Northwoods League Championship Season from last year!  Get your tickets here!

Sneak Peek - Badlands Big Sticks Mascot - Teddy

Earlier this year I had heard about a couple Expedition League teams that were possibly going to run bobblehead promotions at their games this summer.  The league was formed in 2017 and began their inaugural season this past May!  This is the first peek at the Badlands Big Sticks Mascot - Teddy!  The bobblehead night is Friday July 27th, grab your tickets here!! 

The Badlands Big Sticks are located in Dickinson, North Dakota and play their games at Astoria Field.  Without further ado, check out this awesome bobblehead!



This startup collegiate summer baseball league has been a huge success and I for one, hope they stick around for a long time and keep doing bobbleheads!!  The detail on this bobble is great and I'm sure plenty people in the area will love them!

President James A Garfield isn't from Minnesota.  But the Julian H Sleeper House did a bobblehead of him, when a buddy of mine sent me the picture, of course I said yeah, I'd like to add that to my collection.  These random "Minnesota" bobbleheads always get me.  Until then, I had no idea there was any bobblehead like this!  Another one that I'm thrilled with (great detail too).

New Addition - Stanger (Southwest State University)

Another new addition of mine is Stanger from Southwest State University in Marshall, Minnesota.  This is actually from several years ago (most likely mid 2000s) and Southwest just came out with another one in the past year as updated version to this.  Happy that I have both of them now!

New Addition - Mr Shucks

I love mascots, especially when they are Minnesota mascots or mascots of Minnesota affiliated teams.  Here's one of the favorites - Mr Shucks from the Cedar Rapids Kernels!  He is part of a book club for kids and a promo for the club is a Mr Shucks bobblehead, I'm sure there aren't a ton of these but luckily I was able to add one to the collection recently!

New Addition - Torii Hunter Gold Glove

I've been looking for this Torii bobblehead for quite some time!  About a year ago I thought I had a lead on it, it quickly faded and I kept looking.  A few other collectors knew I was looking for it and luckily was able to get it thru one of them.  I don't know a ton about it, there is a "gold glove" set that Forever Collectibles did - I believe the set consists of 9 or 10 bobbleheads total, but the one I really wanted was Torii.  It's about 9 inches tall and the detail is amazing!!  Happy to finally add this one to the collection!

Sneak Peek - Jim Thome & Babe the Blue Ox Bobblehead

A few weeks ago the Twins surprised all of us by announcing another bobblehead.  Originally they promoted a celebration of Jim Thome's Hall of Fame career but no giveaway was planned.  I absolutely love the creativity of this bobblehead - perhaps not only the creativity but remembering what a fun and well received commercial they did several years ago when Thome played for the team.  This is only available thru a Theme Night package, which will be quite popular I'm sure! 


Here's the commercial I mentioned earlier!  Such a great idea to make a bobblehead from this!  And the bobblehead looks great too!
