Memory Company Bobblehead - Vikings

Here's another Memory Company bobblehead, this time, its the Vikings edition.  I know there are a couple Twins bobbleheads as well.  This one is from 2001 and I believe there is a second edition from 2003.

Memory Company Bobblehead - Wild

I don't know much about these bobbleheads, but Memory Company released several different versions of bobbleheads, usually with a "boy" look to them.  I'm not a big fan of these but picked them up for a very good price.  I also have no idea how many different Minnesota bobbleheads Memory Company made.  Here's one from the Minnesota Wild!  These are well made bobbles and pretty heavy too!

Minnesota Lynx 2015 Bobblehead - Coach Reeve

The Lynx have been in the news quite a bit the past few weeks with a few trades.  I thought this was the perfect time to announce their bobblehead giveaway for the 2015 season.  It'll be coach Cheryl Reeve!  As usual the Lynx are atop the standings in the Western Conference and just traded for Sylvia Fowles (perhaps the 2016 bobblehead)!?!  On August 30th, the Lynx will be giving away bobbleheads of coach Cheryl Reeve!  Get your tickets here!  I'll update the blog once I get a picture of the bobblehead!

Finally - Checked another one off my want list

I've been looking for this one for quite a while.  I had only seen 2 pictures of it online and a couple of short press releases/stories.  I knew I'd have it in my collection at some point, but I didn't think it'd be this long.  Several friends of mine also collect and deal in bobbleheads and sports memorabilia in general.  I figured if I didn't find it personally, one of them would.  I'm happy to say, Don Shelby, the bobblehead, is now in my collection.

In 2011 the Alexandria Beetles did a Don Shelby bobblehead giveaway, I believe it was limited to 500.  Click on the link above to learn more about Shelby, but guessing, if you live in Minnesota, you know who he is.

Allen Craig Bobblehead - Alexandria Beetles

Here's an SGA bobblehead of Allen Craig from when he played for the Alexandria Beetles of the Northwoods League.  The Beetles changed their name to the Blue Anchors in 2013 under new ownership.  Craig played for the Beetles in 2003 and 2005.
