David Backes Bobblehead Minnesota State Mankato

 Here's another new addition of mine - former standout David Backes.  The Mavericks gave this out earlier this year and I've been looking for it since.  Mankato bobbleheads are pretty scarce to start with because their fans love to keep the giveaways!  Definitely am pumped to add this one!  

Paul Molitor HOF Induction Speech Bobblehead

Here's a new addition of mine.  Paul Molitor giving his Hall of Fame induction speech.  It's a pretty cool bobblehead and I don't believe there were many made (guessing around 500).  Fun to add these new ones in the middle of winter!!  

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!
