In the world of sports, there is no better way to capture the heart and soul of a player than to immortalize them in a commemorative bobblehead. The sport of bobbleheads has been around for centuries, with nodders (or bobbleheads) first being used in China as religious figures to represent deities. They then became popular in the 1950’s, with bobbleheads of Disney characters and the Beatles bringing them to the mainstream. After a brief decline, they have reached new levels of popularity with a resurgence in the 1990’s that has seen them in every shape and form, promoting everything under the sun.
The A’s typically start kicking ideas around for future bobbleheads in July or August, but it takes four to five months before the dolls are produced. The process is not without its challenges, however, and the A’s have had to rethink or revise several bobblehead designs in the past. One example is the Grant Balfour Raging Gnome bobblehead, which caused a bit of arm flailing at the A’s over its design.
While some people collect bobbleheads for their resemblance to other objects or celebrities, others do so for the sentimental value of the memento. A bobble head of you or your loved one can be a fun way to celebrate your relationship, whether it is a gift for Valentine’s Day or simply to add a touch of quirkiness and humour to the home.
