Brian Dozier Star Wars Bobblehead

Quick blog post tonight.  Here's a sneak peek of the Dozier bobble the Twins are doing for Star Wars night!

Trevor Plouffe Skywalker Bobblehead Night

Tonight the Twins giveaway their first bobblehead of the season.  I've blogged about this one before, read about it here.  The Twins do several "Theme Night Giveaways" and this is one of the best.  In order to receive the giveaway you buy a special ticket, which guarantees you of receiving the giveaway.  How can it get better than that?  Well, because you don't even need to go into Target Field to get the item, you pick it up outside the gate and then are able to return to your vehicle to drop off the item so you don't have to lug it around all night.  With several things, thats no big deal, but its nice to ditch bobbleheads in the car!  Should be a fun night, maybe we'll even see a win?  

Trevor Plouffe - Star Wars Bobblehead

I forgot to do an update on this bobblehead.  The Twins released a photo of the Plouffe Skywalker bobblehead.  Pretty cool!  It's a special event bobblehead which means a special ticket is needed to receive the bobble.  I'm a fan of these "outside the box" bobbleheads that many teams are doing and I'm glad the Twins jumped on board.  I like the classic version too and hope they continue to do them, but 1 non-classic version per season is pretty sweet.

I knew it was happening soon, but didn't expect the announcement today (kind of expected it yesterday).  The Twins announced their theme night giveaways today.  I previously blogged about one of these theme nights being bobblehead related.  Plenty of people debated who the Star Wars bobblehead would be.  I don't think many people thought it would be Trevor Plouffe, but I'm not unhappy with this at all.  Plouffe hasn't had a Twins bobblehead yet and he's more deserving than some other players.  I think a lot of people were hoping for a Buxton Star Wars bobble.

Just like last year's version (Phil Hughes), you have to order special tickets that are sold on a limited basis.  Plenty of other theme night stuff is available too, but obviously the bobblehead is what I'm all about!

Coming Soon - 2016 Minnesota Twins Bobbleheads

In just a couple days, we'll know more about the bobbleheads the Twins plan on giving away this season.  So far we know of one - I wrote about it earlier this week, check it out here.  That means there are 3 more bobbleheads coming (as I've been told there are 4 giveaway dates) plus a special event Star Wars themed bobblehead giveaway.  My hunch is we'll only find out about the 3 regular giveaways and the special event bobblehead info will be released later, maybe even in-season.

The full promotional schedule is set to be released on Monday.  I'll blog that day, but it'll most likely be a short and concise blog since I'll be at work!  I'm also interested in finding out who will be producing the bobbleheads - will the Twins work with Success Promotions again (I'm a fan of their work) or possibly will they renew their relationship with AGP?  My hope is its between those 2 groups!

Happy New Year!

So, I've blogged for just over 2 years and it's been a really fun experience.  I've met and "met" some very cool people thru my blog too!  I have a ton of fun interacting with fellow collectors and I hope in 2016, that continues!  

There are several giveaways coming up (3 Wolves in the next few months) and then we'll learn more about the Twins giveaways for this upcoming season.  Right now, I'm hearing 4 giveaway bobbles and 1 special event (Star Wars themed) bobblehead.  As always, the more I find out, the more I'll blog about!  

I've also added several new bobbleheads to my collection over the past couple of months.  But with the holidays it was just too busy to blog.  Also, I have another "New Addition" of my own - some of you know, but Jess and I announced that we'll be parents come July.  So, I have a hunch that might cut into my blogging capabilities too.  

Hughes the Force

The Minnesota Twins did a special event bobblehead giveaway on May 4th, I blogged about it previously, read that here.  It was probably the most well received SGA bobblehead the Twins have done in a long time.  Jumping on the "Star Wars Themed" bandwagon - like so many other teams are doing, the Twins did a "Hughes the Force" bobblehead featuring Phil Hughes in Star Wars gear.  It's a really cool, extremely well made, and heavy bobblehead.  Even has a special box and all!  Definitely one that all Twins bobblehead collectors should have in their collection!  It's a limited run of 2500 and you had to buy specific tickets to get the bobblehead.  I think I'm going to keep 2 of these for my collection.  

Bobblehead Day: Target Field!

It's Hughes the Force bobblehead night at Target Field.  I'll be there with a group of friends.  I blogged about this one a few weeks ago.  Read about it here.  The special event tickets needed for the bobblehead sold out a week or 10 days ago, its a pretty hot item already.  Also nice that there aren't any lines (or at least long lines) to stand in tonight, can't be that!

Hughes the Force

Well, well, well...the Twins announced today that they are doing a special ticket bobblehead giveaway in May!  I don't think many people thought this was coming as the Twins haven't been one of the teams to do many of these "Special Event" giveaways.  It's a pretty cool bobblehead tho.

Many teams do special events giveaways based on themes.  The Twins did one last year, on Sid Hartman Day, check it out here & here!  Phil Hughes has a Star Wars themed bobblehead now, complete with lightsaber.  The bobble is named "Hughes the Force."  This is also one of the few bobbleheads that has something "unique" about it.  Obviously thats the lightsaber, compared to most other Twins bobbleheads, they are more classic poses.  This looks to be pretty cool.  And I believe it might be by Success Promotions.  So, if you want one of these, you have to purchase a special ticket package for the game on May 4th.
