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!!  

Sneak Peek - Jim Thome & Babe the Blue Ox Bobblehead

A few weeks ago the Twins surprised all of us by announcing another bobblehead.  Originally they promoted a celebration of Jim Thome's Hall of Fame career but no giveaway was planned.  I absolutely love the creativity of this bobblehead - perhaps not only the creativity but remembering what a fun and well received commercial they did several years ago when Thome played for the team.  This is only available thru a Theme Night package, which will be quite popular I'm sure! 

Here's the commercial I mentioned earlier!  Such a great idea to make a bobblehead from this!  And the bobblehead looks great too! 

Sneak Peek - Johan Santana Twins Hall of Fame

Here's a picture of the last of 4 normal SGA Twins bobbleheads this year - Johan Santana.  He's being inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame and they hit this one out of the park (perhaps a bad cliche to use for a pitcher, but it's certainly no strikeout) see what I did there? 

One of the best depictions of a bobblehead I've seen in a while.  Definitely him, his stance, form and everything!  I'm excited to get this one on August 4th! 

Michael Cuddyer Bobblehead Day

Last night was Carew bobblehead day and today is Michael Cuddyer bobblehead day at Target Field. Cuddyer is depicted saluting the fans at Target Field, also a fan favorite and the most recent inductee into the Twins Hall of Fame, this is a great looking bobblehead.  Success Promotions has had an excellent run with their Twins bobbles this year (no surprise to me).  

Sneak Peek - Michael Cuddyer HOF Bobblehead

The Twins are giving away a Michael Cuddyer HOF bobblehead on August 19th.  Similar to Torii Hunter's HOF bobblehead from last year, it has Cuddyer's autograph on the base!  Cuddyer is a pretty popular player around the Twin Cities!  Another awesome bobble by Success Promotions.

Sneak Peek - Michael Cuddyer HOF Bobblehead

The 4th bobblehead I know about this season is a Twins Hall of Fame Michael Cuddyer giveaway.  I'm sure it'll include some sort of HOF plaque or display.  Once I know more details, I'll share them!

Boof Bonser Bobblehead

I hadn't seen this bobblehead before...but its a 2016 SGA of Boof Bonser.  Got it on eBay a while ago.  I went back and forth on this one....since Boof is no longer a member of the Twins and this affiliate isn't Twins related, but with a name like Boof, how could I pass up his (probably) only bobblehead?  Bonser was inducted into the Hagerstown Suns Hall of Fame and they treated to him with his very own bobblehead.

Torii Hunter Bobblehead Day

The Twins are giving away 10,000 Torii Hunter Hall of Fame bobbleheads today!  Torii is a big time fan favorite and I'm guessing people will be down at Target Field a bit early today.  This one will be especially collectible for a variety of reasons.  Let's start with the obvious - it's Torii.  People love him.  Second, its known as a "wall catch" bobblehead.  Plenty of collectors of subsets in their collection for specific types of bobbleheads, the "wall catch" bobbles fit that subset.  Another subset that some collectors love is a the "hall of fame" aspect.  Even tho its just the Twins Hall of Fame, it's still an HOF and other collectors will want it for this.  A third subset category is the "Gold Glove" touch.  Hunter was a wonderful defensive center fielder and won 9 consecutive Gold Glove awards and several collectors love their "Gold Glove" subset!  Lastly, Torii has been a fan favorite everywhere he's went, so he has plenty of fans outside of Minnesota.  I think the Twins did a really good job with this bobble!

Sneak Peek - Torii Hunter

If you've checked out the slideshow on the top right of the blog, you've probably already seen this bobblehead, but if not, here's a quick Sneak Peek at the Torii Hunter bobble the Twins are giving out on July 16th, get your tickets here!  It'll be a "Twins Hall of Fame" bobble, of course with Torii making one of his "routine" wall catches.  It also appears that he's wearing a Gold Glove too!
