Nelson Cruz Star Wars - July 26th (Minnesota Twins)

The next installment in the Star Wars series is none other than Mr Boomstick - Nelson Cruz - Im sure this one will be a hit with the fans!

TC Bear Friends - June 26th (Minnesota Twins)

Here's the Friend's Night bobblehead from the Minnesota Twins - TC Bear with a turkey head!

Here's the first of the Twins theme night bobbles - Charlie Brown, decked out in the Twins powder blues!

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! 

Star Wars Night - Target Field

It's the 4th annual Star Wars night at Target Field.  Those with special ticket access bring home a Joe "Solo" Mauer bobblehead.  This type of bobblehead has never been done before and its been quite popular with several collectors and fans across the country! 

Sneak Peek - Joe Solo Star Wars Bobblehead

The Twins have released images for their 4th annual Star Wars bobblehead.  This season its Joe Solo.  Also known as Joe Mauer.  I have a feeling this will be popular for a few different reasons, it's Mauer's first bobblehead in a handful of years, its Star Wars, its the first of its kind and it has a sound chip.  Lot's of collectible factors with this one.  I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but I am a bobblehead fan and therefore it'll have a place in my collection next to the other Twins Star Wars bobbleheads!

New Addition - Brian Dozier Star Wars Bobblehead

The Twins held Star Wars night on Wednesday and for those of us that had the special ticket to receive the bobblehead, this is the bobblehead that was given away.  Brian Dozier Stormtrooper.  The chest plate and the mask both are removable (via magnets).  Success Promotions did another amazing job at the detail and sculpting of this one.  The box is awesome as well.  Its an incredible bobblehead!  

Sneak Peek - Brian Dozier Star Wars Bobblehead

The Twins released a picture of the Dozier Storm Trooper bobblehead today.  It's pretty sweet. Removable mask as well as chest plate.  Can't wait to add this one to the collection!  Here's the previous post!  You can see the name on the base has changed a little bit.  I wonder if the back of the base will say something!  We'll know in a little over a month!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Trevor Plouffe Skywalker Star Wars Bobblehead

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!
