The Office Dwight Schrute Bobblehead pays homage to the lovably eccentric paper salesman from the television sitcom. A great conversation piece and the perfect gift for insufferable co-workers, this yes-man for the desk is the perfect accessory for any office setting. Dwight often refers to himself as Assistant Regional Manager and the second-in-command to Michael Scott.
Despite the fact that it was based on a real player, Dwight’s bobblehead was a tribute to the baseball player that had a great impact on the character. Michael Scott played for the Philadelphia Phillies, and Dwight was his right-hand man. He was taken advantage of from time to time, so a bobblehead of him may have been his next-best bet.
As the fictional manager of a Scranton, Pennsylvania paper company, Dwight never spoke about the baseball player that graced his desk. The two players share a middle name and first name, which made the gift a perfect choice for a close friend. The other doll was a likeness of Michael Scott, another main character in the show. The name Michael Lieberthal, played for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, and Dwight’s wife Angela chose him to give him the bobblehead.
Dwight has a large collection of bobblehead dolls. His favorites are a replica of himself, Angela, and his favorite teammate Mike Lieberthal. He has a snazzy “Mike Lieberthal” bobblehead from one of the early seasons of the show. The snarky Mike is a former Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons player. His full name is Michael Scott Lieberthal.
