FOCO Goes Viral With A Bernie Sanders Inauguration Day Bobblehead And Mittens

by | Jan 29, 2021 | Sniper Rants

One of the most enduring and endearing photos from Joe Biden’s inauguration does not feature the president at all. Rather, an image of independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has made waves across the internet, sparking thousands of photoshopped memes on social media.

In the picture, Sanders dons oversized mittens and a practical brown coat, sitting socially distanced on a folding chair with crossed legs and arms. It is this photo of the former Democratic presidential candidate that has been transposed across time and place, dropped into historical moments, movie scenes, famous paintings and more. Now, FOCO is paying tribute to the viral picture itself. 

Bernie is sitting with his legs crossed with his odd colored oversized mittens on a folding chair. His name is front and center for everyone to see. Now, you can add this historically funny themed bobblehead to your collection free when buying a pair of mittens! The mittens have a price tag of $30.00 and have an expected delivery date of no later than April 15th of 2021. Click the link below and remember to use code snipersave to ultimately save some cash at checkout!

FOCO Sizzles With A Corey Seager “Hot Bat” World Series Bobblehead

by | Jan 26, 2021 | Sniper Rants

The Dodgers are World Series champions for the first time in 32 years, and the biggest reason on offense was shortstop Corey Seager who put together one of the great postseasons in major league history.

Seager drove in the go-ahead run in the Dodgers’ Game 6 clincher on Tuesday, culminating a World Series in which he was 8-for-20 with two home runs and five RBI, hitting .400/.556/.700. Seager’s seven runs scored tied a World Series record.

The Bobblehead Hall Celebrates The Chicago Bears 35th Anniversary Of Their Super Bowl Win

by | Jan 26, 2021 | Sniper Rants

This morning, on the 35th anniversary of the Chicago Bears Super Bowl XX title, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled six officially licensed, limited-edition Chicago Bears bobbleheads. The first bobblehead features Chicago Bears Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton diving into the end zone for a touchdown. The other five bobbleheads feature Bears legends Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, Mike Ditka (player and coach) and Brian Urlacher riding a bear. The bobbleheads were produced for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of Chicago Bears and NFL merchandise.

The Walter Payton diving bobblehead is individually numbered to 1,985 – the season the Bears defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX – and they are available exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The riding bobbleheads are individually numbered to 2,020 to mark the 35th anniversary of the 1985 Super Bowl title. All six bobbleheads are $40 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. The bobbleheads just arrived and ship now except for the Mike Ditka coach version, which is scheduled to arrive in February, and the Walter Payton riding bobblehead, which is scheduled to arrive in May.

The Payton bobblehead is extended from the base and wearing a navy-blue jersey while cradling the football as he flies through the air in between two pylons that bobble and over the goal line. The circular turf-textured base includes Payton’s name and the bobblehead features a removable helmet. A long jumper in high school in Columbia, Mississippi, Payton revolutionized the end-zone leap for touchdowns. He trained for his signature goal-line dives over defenders by leaping over hay bales in the off-season.

Nicknamed “Sweetness,” Payton played running back for the Bears for 13 seasons after being selected in the first round out of Jackson State in the 1975 NFL Draft. He finished his NFL career with 16,726 rushing yards and 110 touchdowns – both league records – to go along with 4,538 receiving yards and 15 receiving touchdowns. Named the MVP in 1977, Payton was a nine-time Pro Bowl pick and seven-time first-team All-Pro. He was named to the NFL’s 75th and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams. Payton’s No. 34 was retired by the Bears during the 1988 season. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996. Payton died in November of 1999 at the age of 45 after battling a rare liver disease.

The Coach Ditka riding bobblehead features the Bears legend wearing his patented Bears sweater vest with dark pants while sitting atop an equally menacing grizzly bear that is flashing its teeth. Posed in a similar fashion, the McMahon, Payton, Urlacher and Ditka player bobbleheads are all wearing the classic navy-blue jersey and sporting their familiar No. 9, No. 34, No. 54, and No. 89 respectively. The base of each bobblehead features the Bears’ logo.

Ditka, known as “Iron Mike” and “Da Coach” to most fans, is one of only two people to win a Super Bowl title as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Ditka, a five-time All-Pro tight end, was named to the NFL’s 50th, 75th and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams. An NFL champion as a player with the 1963 Bears, Ditka coached the Bears to victory in Super Bowl XX, defeating the New England Patriots by the score of 46-10 on January 26, 1986, at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. He coached the Bears for 11 seasons (1982-92) and compiled a regular season record of 106-62 with six NFC Central Division titles.

McMahon spent the first seven of his 15 professional seasons in Chicago and quarterbacked the Bears to victory in Super Bowl XX. A two-time All-American at BYU, McMahon was selected by the Bears in the first round (fifth overall) of the 1982 NFL Draft and still holds at least 15 franchise records.

Urlacher spent his entire 13-year career with the Bears after being selected in the first round (ninth overall) out of New Mexico in the 2000 NFL Draft. One of the game’s most productive linebackers, Urlacher collected 1,353 tackles, 41.5 sacks and 22 interceptions in his career. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time first-team All-Pro, Urlacher was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 2018.

“We are excited to release this unique bobblehead of the great Walter Payton performing his signature dive into the end zone on the anniversary of the Bears Super Bowl title,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “In addition, the riding bobbleheads have become fan favorites and we know fans will be happy to see more Bears legends added to the series.”

The Lake Show Isn’t Over As FOCO Releases 5 New LA Laker Bobbleheads

by | Jan 22, 2021 | Sniper Rants

The Los Angeles Lakers captured the NBA title in 2020 as it was a weird year for everyone. Between the bubble and not being able to leave and come back, not having visitors and just about every protocol put in place, the season somehow continued as the Lakers were the last standing team. 

Today, FOCO added some fire power as they unveiled 5 new exclusive bobbles for us collectors to add in our display cabinets. The following players were fortunate enough to make the cut. Lebron James, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jared Dudley, Anthony Davis and Alex Caruso. Each player is standing on a championship base with a gold Lakers logo on top. The back of the base features the players name with a gold basketball emblem to shines bright. In addition, each player is wearing the 2020 Championship t-shirt and black hat. I also love how FOCO added some swag with a few select players rocking the ski goggles in remembrance of the champagne getting splashed all over the place in the locker room. 

These brand new exclusive bobbleheads are currently on pre-order with a price tag of $45.00 and have an expected delivery date of no later than May 3rd of 2021. Remember to use code snipersave at checkout to save some cash as these are limited to only 504 being manufactured.
