New Addition - Mini Joe Mauer Big Head

 One of my focuses lately has been on retail bobbleheads.  Its hard to know what retail bobbleheads were available 15-20 years ago when all of this took off.  Once it did, retail vendors, namely Forever Collectibles (FOCO) grabbed the market and hasn't looked back.  Here's a Mauer mini Big Head that I hadn't known about til I saw it.  

When it comes to retail bobbleheads in present day, they are fairly easy to get (some are quite limited, but you can find them).  Back then I'm unsure how retail bobbleheads hit the market as websites were fairly new at the time and the online space was just getting started in the collecting world.  

But a fun new add to the collection! 

La Tortuga gets a Bobble....shell!

One of the most popular Twins players now has a bobble, ahem, shell.  Not a bobblehead, but a bobble-shell.  Willians Astudillo, aka, La Tortuga, is featured by the Twins former affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings.  They planned to give this one out during the COVID-halted 2020 season.  I was fortunate enough to secure one for my collection.

New Addition - Burnsville Blaze Bobblerhead

A new addition of mine comes from the Burnsville High School, their mascot Sparky.  Hadn't ever seen this one before and its the perfect type of high school bobble that Im looking for.  I have a handful of of these bobbles from across the state - but always looking for more!  Check out the next blog post for another new high school bobble!
