Bobble of the Day “Stephen Curry”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Stephen Curry

Team: Golden State Warriors

Year: 2016

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles 

So this is the 5th Curry “Bobble of the Day” and I feel like it’s getting a bit old. FOCO is completely over saturating the market with Steph. Listen, I know he’s the man and the bright new star in the NBA, but theres at least 14 bobbles of him in some way shape or form. Another concern I have is the fact that Chef has another 12 years still left to play in the NBA. What’s he going to have 35 bobbles? Enough is enough.

The only reason this one surfaced to be a part of the Bobble of the Day is because it is actually pretty unique and I like it. The main feature is the Golden Gate Bridge on the back of the base. It’s got Steph shooting a 3 from half court and the colors are pretty bad ass. The base is circular and has the Warriors logo dead smack on the top. Steph’s name on the front is raised letters and in bright yellow as the backdrop is Warrior blue which is fresh. He’s rocking the all black knee pads and standard Warrior uniform.

 

 

Sniper Rating: My one review flaw (and it’s a big one) is the fact that he’s holding the ball right in front of his dome. You can’t even see his face. FOCO, you couldn’t have lowered the shooting form? It’s gotta be right in front of his grill? Major flaw. I actually think this error on FOCO contributes to the sales of this particular bobblehead. Trust me, a lot of collector’s did not buy this because you cannot see his face. Other than that, the Golden Gate Bridge in the backdrop saves this bobble. Chef Curry shooting bombs from the bridge scores a basic 7.0.

Somebody died last night, but we didn’t. Somebody didn’t wake up this morning, but we did. We are not LUCKY, we are blessed! 

This is a message to everyone who takes their life for granted. Think of the other’s out there that have it MUCH worse than us. Someone died this morning and here we are complaining that our coffee is not hot enough or we got cut off on the drive in to work. We are blessed, we are NOT lucky. Remember that. Be thankful for what you have and the things you don’t have you have to WORK for. When you think of other’s, put your life in perspective and be thankful you woke up today! 

Bobble of the Day “Rickey Henderson”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Rickey Henderson

Team: Oakland Athletics 

Year: 2011

Manufacturer: BD&A

The All-Time steals leader ladies and gents. What team this day and age wouldn’t want Rickey on their squad. The dude was an absolute stud and he hit for power with a shit load of dingers. This may well be my favorite A’s SGA given out. 

First things first here Snipers, I have never seen such a monumental pose on a bobble before. Rickey is just flat out screaming confidence as he holds the base the he stole to become the All-time steals leader. There is more detail in this one than a Ferrari from head to toe! The base is dope because is shows part grass part dirt infield. His letter name is raised and sits up nicely against the A’s green backdrop. I dig the bright yellow socks and the fact that BD&A made his uniform jersey and pants dirty is such a boss move! The black batting gloves with the lime green fingers is a superb look. And of course the all black sun glasses makes this one a historical bobblehead. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: I’m going to be frank here. If you don’t own this one and you’re a true collector, then your an asshole. I don’t care if you’re a “young buck” and never saw Rickey play, you get this one. Get your paycheck on Friday morning, search Ebay for it, and cough up the $120.00 for it. I highly advise it. This is a sure fire conversation starter and needs to be in the front of your Curio Cabinet with the light shining bright on it. My only gripe about this one is the stupid sponsor emblem on the front. A bobble of this caliber should not have a sponsor. Usually, I don’t mind sponsor emblems, but this one pisses me off for some reason. It takes a little “eye action” away from the incredible bobble but it’s something we’ll have to deal with. Without question, Rickey and his base stealing bobble scores a 9.5. Sponsor emblem gone, it’s a perfect 10.

If you kick me when I’m down, you better pray I don’t get up!

We all screw up and make mistakes. We fall to the ground. We hit the floor hard. If anyone makes it worst when you’re on the floor and they mock you, they better run fast. Through the years I’ve made many mistakes and I told myself from day one that once I get up from rock bottom, that I will dedicate my time to fucking destroy you. I will come harder and harder at you that you won’t even wake up. This applies to anyone who wishes me failing. You all know I love helping other’s. It’s what I do. I will out work anyone within this industry and make the people who kick me when I’m down pay for their mockery of me. Trust me. This should be a lesson to everyone reading this and I encourage you to get back up from any fall to show your strength and knock the fucker right down! 

Bobble of the Day “Coach K”

by | Mar 23, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Coach: Mike Krzyzewski

Team: Duke University

Year: 2007

Manufacturer: Unknown

The general! Coach K man. What a legendary person in NCAA basketball. You don’t go to Duke to play basketball. You go to Duke to join a “program”. Coach K turns little boys into men when they leave Duke.  His players are mannered, disciplined and work their tails off. Let’s move on to the bobble itself.

A standard Coach K stance with the arms crossed, it looks like he is eyeing a spot on the court in which his team can exploit. Classy look by Coach K with the navy blue pressed suit and shirt and tie. The base says, “Coach K” with the Duke logo on top. The facial features of the legendary coach are on point along with the slick comb over hair. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: This bobblehead is crazy special and Duke did it right. They made the actual bobblehead a very “classy” look and spiced up the box with color and design. The box colors are bright, show flames that resemble the Blue Devils and a brief write-up on Coach K and his career. As a non Duke fan, I appreciate this bobble. This is one that needs to be on your shelf immediately and displayed proudly. The Blue Devils iconic Coach scores a 9.5.
