MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin superfan is assembling what is likely the world’s largest bobblehead collection. Mike Sklar and Mark Novak have amassed more than 15,000 figurines since they started collecting in 2008. The pair make a point of attending every bobblehead giveaway day in their area, even college events with a local team.
The duo has a special affinity for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which is why many of the bobbleheads they have collected are of UW players. Novak and Sklar have amassed more than 200 different versions of UW athletes, including those who were on the bench or in the stands as the team won.
FOCO has released a new collection of Philadelphia Eagles Bighead bobbleheads featuring Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, and AJ Brown. Each figure features the player in an action pose atop a thematic Eagles base. The three standard Bigheads feature the players in the Eagles green home jerseys, while the variant versions of Hurts and AJ Brown feature them in alternate Eagles uniforms.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Former Cleveland Browns great Joe Thomas is getting his own bobblehead this season. The National Football Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum will release a new career-stats series bobblehead for the first-ballot Hall of Famer, who is being inducted this weekend in Canton. The 8-inch bobblehead by New Jersey-based FOCO is numbered to 123 and costs $75.
A new seven-foot Brian Urlacher bobblehead is making its way around the Chicago Bears’ home stadium this season, thanks to a partnership with the Loop Alliance. The sculpture will be on display from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day in the Chicago Loop, and it will be accompanied by a giant video screen showing highlights from Urlacher’s career with the team.
This isn’t the first time the Bobblehead Hall of Fame has featured a 7-foot statue. The museum’s previous version of the Urlacher bobblehead was 6 feet tall and weighed about 150-200 pounds. The new sculpture is made of high-density foam, and it weighs about 165 pounds. It is also made of polyurethane, which is safer for pedestrians than the old concrete and steel version of the figure. The new figure is a more accurate depiction of Urlacher’s height and build than the previous version, which was based on a photo. The Bears will hand out the bobblehead to the first 20,000 fans who enter Soldier Field each game this season. The statue will also appear in other Chicago locations.
