2016 Twins Bobbleheads Announced

The Twins released their promotional schedule this morning.  I knew there would be 4 bobbleheads but other than the vintage one, there hadn't been any talk about who the other 3 would be.  Now we know.

Saturday June 18th - Miguel Sano Bobblehead
Saturday July 2nd - Ervin Santana Bobblehead
Saturday July 16th - Torii Hunter HOF Bobblehead
Sunday July 31st - Vintage Bobblehead

There should be 1 more SGA bobblehead this season, but it'll be a special event ticket giveaway with a Star Wars theme, just like Phil Hughes last year.  Obviously I'll blog on that when it's announced!

Coming Soon - 2016 Minnesota Twins Bobbleheads

In just a couple days, we'll know more about the bobbleheads the Twins plan on giving away this season.  So far we know of one - I wrote about it earlier this week, check it out here.  That means there are 3 more bobbleheads coming (as I've been told there are 4 giveaway dates) plus a special event Star Wars themed bobblehead giveaway.  My hunch is we'll only find out about the 3 regular giveaways and the special event bobblehead info will be released later, maybe even in-season.

The full promotional schedule is set to be released on Monday.  I'll blog that day, but it'll most likely be a short and concise blog since I'll be at work!  I'm also interested in finding out who will be producing the bobbleheads - will the Twins work with Success Promotions again (I'm a fan of their work) or possibly will they renew their relationship with AGP?  My hope is its between those 2 groups!

Santa Claus Bobblehead

Here's another recent new addition to the collection.  This one is a bit older tho, its Santa Claus from the Houston Aeros (Former Minnesota Wild Affiliate).  I think this is from 2004 and was limited to 3000.  Definitely a more rare bobble and it is pretty hard to find, but a cool one in Wild colors!

Sneak Peek - Minnesota Twins 2016 Bobblehead

So the Twins are tweeting pictures (well, you have to retweet to see the actual picture) of promotional items that are giveaways this season.  Today was the first bobblehead picture.  It's another vintage one, but this year, its "bobble-girl."  I'm guessing it'll be similar to last years version of the "bobble-boy."

My hunch is this won't draw a ton of fanfare, similar to last years version.  Most Twins fans and bobblehead collectors are looking for popular player bobbles.  Hopefully we'll see Buxton and Sano bobbleheads this season!!  But on July 31st, you'll see people lining up for this one!

John Torchetti Bobblehead

 Below is the newest SGA Bobblehead from the Iowa Wild.  It's Coach John Torchetti, and even includes a "bobble-hand!"  It was limited to 1500 but since its a minor league giveaway it's not too desirable at this point.
