New Addition - Josh Harding Bobblehead

Here's on my newest additions.  Back in 2015, the Regina Pats of the WHL had a Josh Harding bobblehead night and the proceeds went to Harding's Hope (Josh's charity).  With a $5 donation (minimum) you scored a Harding bobblehead.  Needless to say, they went quick.  I've known about this bobblehead for a couple years.  In talking to some collectors from north of the border, the common theme was "you'll never find it."  I'm not one to lose hope very easily so I kept looking.  I reached out to a couple people and through one of them, I got lucky...super lucky.  It's an amazing bobblehead, plenty of detail!

New Add - Zach Johnson (Cedar Rapids Kernels)

Here's another new addition of mine, Zach Johnson from the Cedar Rapids Kernels.  I don't have a ton of golfers, but this one fits my collection as its from a Twins affiliate (granted, the giveaway happened around 2010 or earlier, when they weren't the affiliate).  It's a pretty hard to find bobble! 

New Addition - Royce Lewis Bobblehead

This one was unveiled in my last sneak peek.  As usual, the Kernels have done a great job on another bobblehead!  It was a pretty successful night as well!  Lewis is a stud in the making and this will hopefully be his first of several Twins (or their affiliate) bobbles!

Sneak Peek - Royce Lewis Bobblehead

Tonight, the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Twins single A affiliate) will be giving away a bobblehead of last year's #1 draft pick, Royce Lewis!  The Kernels have been spot on the last several years with their bobblehead giveaways and this is no different.  1000 of these will be handed out to all fans and it's sure to be a popular bobble!  Get your tickets here!!

New Add - Minnesota North Stars Retro

I hadn't seen this one before I stumbled across it.  Obviously its a retail version as several of these "retro" or "vintage" bobbleheads have been produced the last several years.  From what I know, its only the 2nd North Stars bobblehead.  The first is JP Parise, click the link for more.  It's a perfect fit for my collection and I certainly wish the Wild would do some sort of North Stars celebration of former fan favorites who wore the sweater!  For now, I'll settle for these 2! 

New Add - Ringo

Here's another new addition to my collection.  Ringo from the now defunct, Alexandria Beetles (of the Northwoods League).  There are 2 versions of this one, I believe this is the retail version the club sold, while the other version, although almost exactly the same has 1 slight difference.  Instead of saying "Ringo" on the base, it displays the sponsors name.  I had been searching for this one a long time.  I honestly didn't think it would take me this long to find it.  Typically the retail versions are quite a bit easier to find because there are more of them.  Either way, I'm definitely happy to add this one! 

Sneak Peek - Brian Dozier Fort Myers Miracle

Today, the Miracle giveaway Brian Dozier bobbleheads to the first 1000 fans!  This is the first in a set of 5 that will surely be a popular hit with Twins fans across the country!

New Addition - Alex Stalock - Iowa Wild

A couple weeks ago the Iowa Wild did their second giveaway of the season (read about the first one here).  This time around, its of local netminder Alex Stalock.  I'm a huge fan of goaltender bobbleheads, mainly because of the detail that goes into them.  This is an absolute...ahem...breakaway (see what I did there?!)!  From the form, to the sweater, and obviously the mask (which is removable) the marketing team nailed it.  

New Add - Gustav Oloffson - Iowa Wild

Back in January the Iowa Wild gave away Gustav Oloffson bobbleheads to the first 1000 fans through the gates.  These aren't regular sized bobbles but aren't minis either, they are a nice in between that a ton of minor league or affiliated teams do.  Even tho they are smaller, there is plenty of detail and that red sweater is sure to stand out! 

Sneak Peek - Byron Buxton Fort Myers Miracle (5th of 5)

The final bobblehead in this set of 5 is Twins stud center fielder, Byron Buxton.  Mark your calendars for September 1st!  Of course Buxton is making a jumping catch, showing off his gold glove caliber skills.  This completes the Fort Myers set in 2018 and I have a feeling Twins fans everywhere will love it! 

Sneak Peek - Torii Hunter Fort Myers Miracle (4th of 5)

Torii gets the nod as the 4th bobblehead in this series of 5 from the Fort Myers Miracle.  Hunter is one of the most popular Twins ever and definitely deserving of this bobblehead honor, on July 21st.  The depiction of him tipping his cap to his fans is pretty awesome!  Last up is Byron Buxton!

Sneak Peek - Jose Berrios Fort Myers Miracle (3rd of 5)

Next up in the series is Jose Berrios!  The Miracle are giving away this bobblehead on June 30th.  The up and coming Twins starter is popular here and most likely just as popular in Fort Myers!  Next on the list is the one and only Torii Hunter! 

Sneak Peek - Joe Mauer Fort Myers Miracle (2nd of 5)

Here's the 2nd bobblehead the Fort Myers Miracle are giving away in a series of 5, Joe Mauer.  May 19th is the date you'd wanna get down to Fort Myers for this one!  With Mauer's classic swing on display this is sure to be a coveted bobblehead!  Stay tuned for the next one - Jose Berrios!
