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).  

Rod Carew Bobblehead Day

Tonight is Rod Carew bobblehead day at Target Field.  It's the beginning of a very busy and fun giveaway/promo weekend for the Twins.  Carew is a fan favorite and the bobblehead (produced by Success Promotions) is one of the best yet!  The powder blue jersey, the iconic batting stance and the silver bat - one word...superior!

TC Bear Bobblehead Day

It's hear!  TC Bear Bobblehead day at Target Field.  Today the Twins will giveaway 10,000 bobbleheads of their beloved mascot, TC Bear.  This is sure to be a popular giveaway with all fans because everyone loves the bear!  As I mentioned previously, Success Promotions did the bobble and its awesome!

Byron Buxton Sweet Spot Bobblehead

I can finally announce that Byron Buxton is the Twins Sweet Spot bobblehead this year.  The rarest of "giveaway" bobbles, the Sweet Spot bobblehead is only given to select season ticket holders who rank this benefit high enough on their wishlist.  Success Promotions produced it and it references Buxton's opening day diving catch.  Super awesome bobble that will be hard to come by!

Sneak Peek - Rod Carew Bobblehead

On August 18th, the Twins are giving away a Rod Carew bobblehead.  This might be one of the most popular bobbleheads the Twins have done in recent years.  Carew is a fan favorite and everyone loves bobbles in powder blue jerseys.  This bobble features Carew's iconic batting stance and a silver bat, and of course since he's in a batting stance, part of the base is home plate!  Success Promotions did this one and its probably one of my favorite bobbles and that says a lot because I'm a fan of most everything they do!

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 - TC Bear Bobblehead

The Twins are giving away a TC Bear mascot bobblehead on August 6th!  It's a great looking bobblehead, which shouldn't be surprising since Success Promotions is producing it!  First 10,000 fans get one and I'm sure the kids will love it!  Check out the picture below!

Sneak Peek - Mike Trout (Kernels)

The Cedar Rapids Kernels are giving away a Mike Trout bobblehead this Saturday, the 17th of June! I know, I know, Trout has nothing to do with the Twins or Minnesota.  However, the Kernels certainly do!  Obviously they are an affiliate of the Twins and a great one since its not a bad drive from the Twin Cities to Cedar Rapids!  The Kernels used to be an Angels affiliate and Trout is one of the most popular players that played for them.  Plenty of minor league teams do giveaways of guys that have no affiliation with their current major league affiliate.  I'm doing the same thing if I'm the Kernels. What's even better about this bobblehead, Success Promotions created/produced it!    Click here to order tickets!!  As you all know, I'm a big fan of theirs!  Without further ado, here it is!

New Addition - Coco & Kelly Miller Dual Bobblehead

Here's another new addition that has Minnesota roots.  Coco & Kelly Miller from the University of Georgia.  This was a recent giveaway of the former Rochester Mayo standout Twins.  Pretty sweet bobble, and as you may have guessed - produced by Success Promotions.  

Team USA Bobbles - Seimone Augustus & Sylvia Fowles

Yesterday I blogged about the Seimone Augustus bobblehead I recently added to my collection.  It's "twin" is a Sylvia Fowles bobble that LSU also gave away recently.  These are super cool bobbles, of course done by my favorite - Success Promotions.  The detail is great, the red jerseys pop as do the gold medals!

Now, time to get on the Lynx to do a Quad set of Seimone Augustus, Lindsay Whalen, Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles.  Would be cool if they did Team USA jerseys on the front (with gold medals) and their Lynx jerseys on the back.  Fans would absolutely love that type of bobblehead!

New Addition - Kurtis Gabriel

One of my recent additions comes from the Iowa Wild.  They did a Kurtis Gabriel giveaway bobblehead, along with bobblefists!  I knew from the second I saw it that Success Promotions did this one.  It's their classic base (which I love) and also added in a nice touch by including the gloves on the "ice" or base of the bobble.  

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!

2017 Twins Bobbleheads

Thanks to my buddy Zane, we learned a little bit about the giveaway bobbleheads for 2017.  I'm on vacation right now...enjoying 75 degree weather with an ocean view but have a 7 month old by my side so while she's napping, I can type up a quick blog post.

There wasn't too much info, but the good news is the Twins will do the first ever SGA bobblehead of TC Bear, I've been clamoring for the Bear to get a bobblehead for quite some time.  I love mascot bobbleheads and TC will be a great one.  The other bobblehead that was mentioned was that of Rocket Raccoon, on SuperHero Day.  My hope is they tie in a player to be part of that bobblehead.  It sounds like it'll be a theme night giveaway (which means special ticket).  Based on the Guaranteed Giveaway and Theme Night pack details, there will be a Star Wars bobblehead as well.  

 Somewhere between 4 and 6 bobbleheads are expected.  My hunch is it'll be 6.  The 2 theme night bobbles (SuperHero and Star Wars) and 4 regular giveaways (TC Bear being the only one we currently know).  I can only hope that Success Promotions does the bobbleheads this year.  This week the Twins are doing their Twitter reveal of 5 promos, my hunch is either the 4th or the 5th will be the TC Bear bobble.  The full promo schedule will be released on February 20th!  And the Theme Night schedule should be out on March 7th.

I will update the blog as soon as I know more info.

New Addition - Miguel Sano Sweet Spot Bobblehead

The newest addition to my collection (from last night) is a Miguel Sano bobblehead.  These are commonly called "Sweet Spot" bobbleheads as season ticket holders rank various "Sweet Spot Benefits" and if you rank the player bobblehead high enough you get one towards the end of each season.  We found out about a couple weeks ago that Sano was the Sweet Spot bobble and the Twins began giving them to select season ticket holders last night.  Thankfully its produced by Success Promotions and is a great bobble, easily the best one (along with the Plouffe Star Wars - also by Success Promotions) of the season.  

Sneak Peek - Miguel Sano Sweet Spot Bobblehead

Another sneak peek, this time, it's the bobblehead the Twins are giving to select season ticket holders, commonly known as the "Sweet Spot" bobblehead.  It's definitely a very cool looking bobblehead and I'm pretty sure Success Promotions is behind it - which makes me very very happy!

Miguel Sano Bobblehead

Today is the day, the first SGA bobblehead for the Minnesota Twins, Miguel Sano.  This is also Sano's first Twins SGA bobblehead as well.  He's had minor league bobbles, but never from the big club.  It's a sweet looking bobblehead, done by Success Promotions - which if you've been reading the blog for any length of time, you'll know that I'm a big fan of Success Promotions.  They do great work!  Go Twins!

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!

The Newest Harmon Killebrew Bobblehead!!

Twins great Harmon Killebrew has several bobbleheads.  This is the most recent version, given away by the Chattanooga Lookouts (and 2nd one from Chattanooga) earlier this summer.  The base might look familiar as this was produced by Success Promotions - which I'll say again, make great bobbleheads.  1000 of these were given away and I'm happy to say I was able to get one.  Their marketing team is tremendous.

Sneak Peek - Paul Molitor Bobblehead

Here's a great look at the Paul Molitor bobblehead that will be given away at tonights game!  No waiting in line for me for this one.  I really like this bobblehead, its a different pose than any other Twins bobbleheads - no other Twins manager has had a bobblehead done quite like this.  As usual, Success Promotions does a great job once again.  Solidly built, very detailed, and the paint job is really well done.  No surprise there.

Enjoy!  And have fun at the game tonight if you go.  And if you do, comment on this blog and let me know how the lines are and how long you waited!

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.
