New Addition - Ringo Bobblehead

I've been looking for this one for quite a while.  I new it was out there as a buddy of mine thought he had a deal for a couple of these.  The deal fell thru and I haven't seen one since.  Recently was able to pick this one up.  It's a giveaway bobble from the now defunct Alexandia Beetles of the Northwoods League.  Their mascot, Ringo has a couple different bobbleheads and this one seems to be the most rare (or at least the one I haven't seen much of).  If you are an avid reader of my blog, you'll know I enjoy mascot bobbleheads - because they look like this - super cool, pretty spot on and great detail.

Updated Want List - Part 1 (Minnesota Miscellaneous Bobbleheads)

I'm going to blog about my Want List a little different this time.  Only a few posts, categorical specific and several pictures.  These will also appear in an updated Slideshow, just like my old Want List did.  I think I'm going to move that to the top portion of the blog tho!  These are all miscellaneous Minnesota bobbleheads.

     

 The first 3 are Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox bobbles

Next comes Big Ole from Alexandria Minnesota

How bout local attorney, Ron Meshbesher?

And finally, local big time music producers, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis!

Big Ole Bobblehead

I recently added this one to my collection as well.  Big Ole - the famous statue in Alexandria, MN, the birthplace of Minnesota.  There is the modern bobblehead, while there is another similar one of Big Ole that I've yet to add to my collection.  I was happy to add this one tho as it's a pretty cool bobble!

Want List (Part 7)

In part 7 of my Want List series I have pictures of 2 bobbleheads, the first Don Shelby from the Alexandria Beetles and Don Meyer from Northern State.  

The Shelby bobblehead was a giveaway in 2011 while the Meyer bobblehead was a giveaway at a book release, also in 2011.  Here's a video from WCCO on the Shelby bobblehead!  I'm hoping I can add each of these to my collection in the coming months!

Want List (Part 5)

The second part of my mini series focuses on two different bobbleheads from the Runestone Museum near Alexandria, MN.  I know one (right side in the picture below) is available for sale from the museum, as for the other - I'm not sure.  I've only seen it in pictures.  My hunch was maybe it was a prototype or first edition type of bobblehead.

I think these are pretty cool bobbleheads, with some nice detail!  Hopefully I'll be able to add both to my collection at some point!

Golf Pro - Tom Lehman

Local Minnesotan Tom Lehman even has a bobblehead!  I've seen a couple of these and this is the exact kind of bobblehead I'm now looking for.  Lehman grew up in Alexandria and went to the University of Minnesota.  I believe this was a giveaway at the 2005 Marshall Fields Challenge and appears to be an AGP bobblehead.  If you have more information, please share!
