New Addition - Rocket Raccoon

One of the newest of new additions to my collection.  I've blogged about this one a couple times. The Twins (along with a handful of other MLB teams) gave away Rocket Raccoon bobbleheads last Saturday.  The new Guardians of the Galaxy movie dropped last weekend and the Twins (and Marvel) celebrated that with this Guardians of the Galaxy themed bobble.  It does have a nice sturdy base but wouldn't be surprised if we hear about some breakage with his tiny little ankles.

Rocket Raccoon Twins Bobblehead

Remember the first Twins giveaway bobblehead is in a couple weeks.  Rocket Raccoon in Twins colors will make his appearance on May 6th.  10,000 of these will be handed out to fans who walk through the Target Field gates that day.  See my previous blog post here!

Complete List of Twins 2017 Bobbleheads

I posted individually about the bobbles the Twins are doing this season.  Here's the complete list of giveaway bobbles.

Rocket Raccoon (Guardians of the Galaxy) - May 6th
Brian Dozier Storm Trooper (Star Wars Night) - June 21st
TC Bear Bobblehead - August 6th
Rod Carew Bobblehead - August 18th
Michael Cuddyer HOF Bobblehead - August 19th

I'll update the blog as soon as I can once more details (and pictures) are revealed.  Typically pictures aren't available until closer to the giveaway date as I'm sure the Twins are only in initial stages right now of developing and creating each bobblehead with the vendor.  I believe (and I'm very happy to have this belief) Success Promotions will be doing several of the bobbles, I can't say for certain that it'll be all of them, but at least a few!

Sneak Peek - Rocket Raccoon Bobblehead

Yesterday I blogged about a couple bobbleheads that the Twins had announced.  Today we got to see the first picture of one of them.  Check out the picture below to see a Rocket Raccoon (fans of Guardians of the Galaxy will definitely want to add this one).  Marvel will sponsor this one (I believe a handful of other teams are doing the same bobble, just in their team colors and logo).  The giveaway is May 6th, I believe this is also Super Hero night, but am unsure if this is a regular giveaway or theme night (which a special ticket is required) giveaway.  Once I know more, you'll know more!
