FOCO Starts The New Year Off With A LA Dodgers Exclusive Bobblehead

by | Jan 5, 2021 | Sniper Rants

Dodger fans are well aware how important Julio Urias was to clinching the Dodgers 2020 World Series title in 2020. The Bleed Blue faithful love his personality and his 2020 Post-season stats, as Urias was 4-0 with a 1.17 ERA. Urias is known for his strong loyalty to his native country of Mexico as he often holds the Mexican flag with pride. In addition, if you look closely, you’ll notice that his left eye seems partially closed. That’s the result of a recurring “periorbital benign mass” that has been removed four times so far. This kind of growth is not harmful, but in Urias’ case, it causes the eyelid to droop and that is why Urias sports his white Oakley sunglasses.

Today, FOCO has released the first of many 2020 Special Moment bobbleheads and Julio Urias comes to us first. Of course he’s showing off his native Mexican pride with the bright flag draped around his back. Urias is savoring the World Series win by capturing every moment on his cell phone which is held in his right hand. The FOCO Face Cover is pulled down ever so gently to show Julio’s expression after becoming a champion. 

These are currently available for pre-order for $45.00 and have an expected delivery date of no later than February 22nd of 2021.

The Bobblehead Hall of Fame Makes a Roar with an Auburn Tigers National Championship Bobblehead

by | Dec 16, 2020 | Sniper Rants

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead commemorating the Auburn Tigers’ two College Football National Championships. This is the first bobblehead to celebrate Auburn’s football national championships and it joins over a dozen bobbleheads in the series of NCAA College Football National Champions Bobbleheads. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of Auburn Tigers and NCAA merchandise.

The bobblehead features Auburn’s mascot, Aubie the Tiger, standing behind two championship rings on the base of the bobblehead, which has Auburn’s. The backing lists the years of Auburn’s titles, which were in 1957 and 2010. The limited-edition bobbleheads are individually numbered to only 2,010 to coincide with the school’s last title year. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $45 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. They are only available through the Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store.

Since its first season in 1892, Auburn is recognized by the university and NCAA for winning two national championships, 16 conference titles and 10 division crowns. One of the inaugural members of the powerhouse Southeastern Conference, the Tigers have achieved 12 undefeated seasons and 44 bowl appearances in their history. One of the most successful college programs in the last 25 years, Auburn has won over 70 percent of its games during that span.

Auburn’s bobblehead joins Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Penn State, Florida, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas, Tennessee, and USC in the series celebrating teams that have won multiple college football National Championships. The NCAA recognizes College Football National Champions dating back to 1869 when Princeton and Rutgers were both crowned National Champions.

“The championship bobbleheads are the ultimate way for fans to show off their school pride,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “We know how passionate Auburn fans are about their team and bobbleheads, so we expect these to be extremely popular especially since bobbleheads make sure a great holiday gift.”

The Bobblehead Hall Goes Rival Again with the Gamecocks and Tigers

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead celebrating the Clemson vs. South Carolina rivalry. This is the first bobblehead to commemorate the in-state rivalry and features Clemson University mascot, The Tiger, and University of South Carolina mascot, Cocky, standing back-to-back as rivals with their arms crossed. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of Clemson University, University of South Carolina, and NCAA merchandise.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 1,000 and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $60 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

The Clemson-South Carolina rivalry, also called the Carolina-Clemson rivalry, is one of only a handful of in-state rivalries where the teams are in different premier conferences with South Carolina in the SEC and Clemson in the ACC. Separated by only 132 miles, the schools compete in the Palmetto Series, which is an athletic, head-to-head competition in more than a dozen sports throughout the school year.

Since 1960, the football matchup has been held in late November, usually on Thanksgiving weekend, however, the game that was originally scheduled for November 28, 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ending an unbroken streak of 111 years of games between the two schools. The football rivalry game was dubbed the Palmetto Bowl in 2014, and Clemson has won the last six meetings. The Tigers hold a 71-42-4 advantage in the all-time series, which started in 1896. In baseball, the teams have played 321 times in what has been called “college baseball’s most heated rivalry” with Clemson holding a 179-140-2 advantage. The rivalry is also heated on the basketball court, with the South Carolina men leading the all-time series, 91-79, while the Clemson women hold a slim 33-32 edge.

“We’re excited to release this bobblehead commemorating the fierce rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “The Palmetto Series is unique in college sports and what makes this rivalry so special.”

No Love Lost between the Wildcats and Sun Devils As The Bobble Hall Drops a New Exclusive Bobblehead

by | Dec 11, 2020 | Sniper Rants

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead commemorating the Arizona vs. Arizona State rivalry. The bobblehead is the first to celebrate the rivalry and features University of Arizona mascot “Wilbur the Wildcat” and Arizona State University mascot “Sparky the Sun Devil” squaring off as rivals ready for battle. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of University of Arizona, Arizona State University and NCAA merchandise.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 1,000 and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Store. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $60 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

Separated by only 100 miles and members of the Pac-12 Conference, the interstate rivalry between the two schools is intense. The football rivalry is one of the longest in the country, with the winner receiving the Territorial Cup, which was created for the 1899 champion between four schools in Arizona. The NCAA has certified the trophy as the oldest rivalry trophy in college football.

The football rivalry has taken place continuously since 2001, with this year’s game scheduled to kick off at 5:00pm today at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Arizona State has won the last three meetings including last season’s 24-21 win at Sun Devil Stadium. However, Arizona holds the series lead 49-43-1, thanks in part to a 20-2 series start. The rivalry isn’t just intense in football, as it crosses 20 varsity intercollegiate sports.

“We’re excited to release this bobblehead commemorating Arizona and Arizona State’s rivalry,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Our rivalry bobblehead series has been very popular, and we know this will become a cherished collectible for many Arizona and Arizona State fans.”

FOCO turns back the clock with an Allen Iverson/Shaq SLAM bobblehead 

The bimonthly magazine “SLAM” that launched in 1994 which provided a lens into the lives of up-and-coming and established basketball stars was an iconic item every youngster wanted. Kids would flock to nearby stores just to grab their issue and head home to read and look at the colorful photos. Many covers for the magazine were instant classics but the the cover image of Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson wearing throwback jersey alongside the caption “Allen Iverson is Soul on Ice” was legendary. 

Now some 26 years later, we now have a Allen Iverson, “SLAM” limited edition bobblehead courtesy of FOCO. “Previously, FOCO released a SLAM puzzle version of AI and Philly fans loved it”, says Anthony Davino, coordinator of marketing at FOCO. Davino also states, “The puzzle went over very well and the Philadelphia fans will love to add this piece to their collections”. The Shaq bobble features a backdrop of Shaq’s famous Magazine cover looking like the King of the court.
