Bomba Squad Bobblehead Set

Well, this was supposed to be a giveaway by the Twins (of course not in the setting) but FOCO released a Bomba Squad bobblehead set today.  I like the dual more than the 3 individuals and am curious why Mitch Garver isn't represented.  But a nice little Twins addition in the middle of "winter."  

It's not cheap but you can find foco discount codes fairly easily.  See them up close for yourself at this link!  Nelson Cruz, Miguel Sano, Jorge Polanco, Eddie Rosario and Max Kepler!  

Francisco Liriano SGA or not Bobblehead

Here's another former Twins pitcher - Francisco Liriano, while he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Liriano was traded at the deadline in 2016.  From what I know, the bobbleheads were produced but then destroyed because of the trade.  The giveaway (scheduled shortly after the trade deadline) never happened and its quite possibly one of the more sought after Pirates modern day bobbleheads.  Typically when bobbleheads are "destroyed," a few, some or even many get past the destruction and eventually find their way to the secondary market.  That doesn't seem to be the case with this one.  

 

Johan Santana Bobblehead - Prototype

Here's a prototype of mine, this bobblehead was never mass produced and it's probably only 1 of 2 or 3 in existence.  Featured with the New York Mets and standing on a K-counter its a pretty sweet bobblehead.  If you come across prototypes, many aren't in pristine condition as it was most likely handled by several people, shipped to different departments, etc.  Since Johan was one of the best Twins pitchers, this one is staying in my collection.  But I certainly wish he was wearing a Twins jersey!  

 

PJ Fleck Golden Gophers Bobblehead

With the Big 10 announcement that football is back in October I thought it was fitting to share this PJ Fleck bobblehead.  This is a custom University of Minnesota Golden Gophers bobble.  Its full size, of course rowing the boat.  I like the detail of this one, sharp yellow jacket with maroon tie, complete with headset.  

  

Stump the Schwab Bobblehead

Stump the Schwab was a game show on ESPN in the 2000s.  Stuart Scott hosted it and the Schwab was Howie Schwab, who was ESPN's first statistician.  ESPN made several bobbleheads of their on-air talent.  This has no Minnesota connection (that Im aware of) but it'll go nicely with my other ESPN bobbleheads!
