Houston Aeros Bobblehead Jackpot! - Part 3

I'm saving the best for last.  I knew of these bobbles and actually had a couple of them.  What I didn't know was there was a 7 piece set.  I thought it was 6.  The Aeros did a promotional giveaway celebrating their 15th year with an "All-Aeros" team.  Very similar to what the Wild did for their "Year X All Time Team" where a 6 bobblehead set is made up of 3 forwards, 2 defencemen and 1 goalie.  What's the 7th piece of this set then?  Obviously its a mini-rink, who-freaking-knew?  I had never seen the rink before, but this set is easily one of the coolest "mini-sets" in my collection.  The players included are all mini bobbleheads and fit snugly on the rink!

                    Goalie - Frederic Chabot
Defenceman - Erik Reitz
Defenceman - Curtis Murphy
Forward - Brian Wisemen
Forward - Mark Freer
Forward - Derek Boogaard

Houston Aeros Bobblehead Jackpot! - Part 2

Part 2 of my Aeros jackpot includes a Curtis Murphy Bobblehead.  Murphy has 2 different bobbles, this one and a mini version that you'll see soon!  He did play for the Wild...but it was a pretty short stint...exactly 1 game!

Mini Aeros Bobbleheads

I found a couple mini Houston Aeros bobbleheads earlier this summer.  Curtis Murphy on the left and Derek Boogaard on the right.  I believe these were part of a set of giveaways.  I know there is a couple more the team did.  I'm guesssing these were giveaways in the earlier to middle part of the 2000s as Boogaard played for the team between 2003 and 2005.  If you know of others or have pictures of other Aeros bobbleheads, let me know!  They did a Cal Clutterbuck 50/50 bobblehead - I'll do a blog post on that at some point in the future and explain the 50/50 thing, but for now, here's a picture of the 2 mini bobbleheads.
