If fans were allowed, how comfortable would you be Sniping at a game?

How comfortable would you be Sniping if allowed into a ballpark? That’s the million dollar question. Baseball is officially here but no fans as well all know and that means no bobbleheads at giveaways. Let me throw this scenario out for the thousands of collectors out there. Let’s say Rob Manfred allowed 25% capacity into the ballparks on July 23rd and for the remaining 59 games.

You know damn well if you are one of the lucky fans to get into the ballpark, you know you’re going to have to wear a mask when not seated watching the game. So that means sniping would occur as normal, before the game while fans are walking around getting food, beer and souvenirs. A mask is very deceiving as the fan you’re trying to snipe from cannot see your mouth or nose. I almost want to compare it to robbing a bank. You roll up to a group of fans, fully masked and propose if you can have their bobblehead. How sleezy and deceptive is that? I don’t care what you say, when a stranger approaches you with a mask on it’s very intimidating. More than likely, when you approach someone, you’ll have to repeat your sniping pitch multiple times as Karen and Betty won’t be able to hear you.

So how comfortable would you be at sniping if fans were allowed? Whether you have your mask on won’t matter as this virus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Your chances of attracting the virus is highly increased if you even enter the ballpark at let’s say 50% or even 25% capacity. You gotta wonder, is it even really worth it? If you are fully confident and can snipe your face off, no matter what bobble you get, the value will instantly increase as many fans won’t have the opportunity to go the the game as many collectors have been sitting at home the past 4 months. Collector’s will pay top dollar as the access to these giveaways have just gotten that much harder. So how comfortable would you be Sniping bobbles at a MLB game if fans were allowed? One can only wonder…

 

How FOCO is dominating the WWE Bobblehead World

I could care less what others say about WWE wrestling is fake or not. These are well trained athletes that provide a piss ton of entertainment to fans all over the world. The WWE has been around it seems like forever now and there’s been a few low budget crappy bobbleheads produced until FOCO stepped in and changed that. A total of 16 bobbleheads are featured on FOCO’s website and it’s only growing. FOCO last year put some feelers out with John Cena and the Rock and sales were apparently strong as the selection of wrestlers has only increased. Each wrestler has a different pose and saying on the side of the base. A fat WWE logo sits flush on each bobble to make it that more legit. I just recently got in this Macho Man Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior and the words very impressed is a severe understatement.

The definition within the leg and arm muscles are spot on and the bright colors practically everywhere on the bobblehead is ridiculously eye-catching. These wrestlers are proven icons within the WWE and we are fortunate to add these highly collectible bobbleheads to our collections. But wait, there’s more. FOCO just got the licensing for another 2 historic WWE wrestlers in Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker. These two are currently available for pre-order on FOCO’s website and are sure to sell out to the general public. Fans all over have been waiting for these 2 (Especially Hulk Hogan) and after seeing what FOCO has done with their previous WWE bobbles, expect big things to come.

How FOCO Capitalized on Greatness

Not only do Washington Capitals love their star Alex Ovechkin but so does the majority of the league. Ovechkin is considered by many as the greatest goal scorer in NHL history and has a real chance of overtaking Wayne Gretzky in total career goals. He’s famous for his deadly “One Timer” which he typically fires from the left faceoff circle which is an area known as his “office”. I myself would discontinue collecting bobbleheads if I had to defend Ovi’s slapshot, as I’d rather keep my teeth and face in tact for the foreseeable future.

That being said, FOCO did not hesitate creating “Greatness” with 2 exclusive Ovechkin bobbleheads for the gigantic amount of fans Ovi has. The first Ovechkin “Goal Counter” red jersey bobblehead sold out within 24 hours. Yup, 2020 of them gone. A week later to please Ovi fans, FOCO dropped a “Celebration Goal Counter” white jersey bobble that has him with his arms raised as he’s posing after yet another goal scored. Both of these bobbleheads feature an adjustable goal counter ticker on front of base, so you can keep track every time Ovi scores. In addition, FOCO added a Capitol Building backdrop with bold jersey number display and team logo banners to highlight the city of Washington. 

The bottom line here Snipers is FOCO cares about what we add to our collections. They hit the right player or mascot at the right time. The detail is incredible and one that you won’t see on a SGA given out at the ballpark. Are their prices high? Maybe a little but the old saying goes, “You pay for what you get”. This completely applies to the quality product you and I receive. Given the fact that I cannot stress enough to use my Sniper10 code, it will ultimately save you money. 

Lastly, when you see a new bobble on FOCO’s website, do not wait. I repeat, DO NOT WAIT. A lot of people don’t like the pre-order rules, but it does take time for China to manufacture the bobblehead and before you know it, you go to add one to your cart and it’s sold out. Don’t allow this to happen as FOCO’s products speak for themselves.

Milverine Limited Edition Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day Pete Alonso “Rookie of the Year” Exclusive Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player: Pete Alonso

Team: New York Mets

Year: 2020

Manufacturer: FOCO

We all know what Pistol Pete Alonso did last year so there’s no real point in summarizing his top of the line accolades. What I want to highlight is the Mets have something special. Something that no other team has and not even the Yankees. They have the Apple. The apple symbolizes New York City to its finest. Whenever the Mets go deep, the Apple pops up behind the outfield wall. More importantly, when you can add a symbol or icon to a bobblehead, it makes it that much more special.

Pistol Pete on this Rookie of the Year and Homerun Champion bobblehead stands out from the rest because he’s the man in New York. Foco didn’t shy away from displaying Alonso sitting on the New York Mets Apple. It’s features along with his accomplishments on the curved back of the base is something to own.

 

 

Sniper Rating: Whether you’re a Mets fan or not, what Alonso did was beyond super fucking human. Yes, I know he’s technically an “older” Rookie but 53 bombs? Are you shitting me? This bobblehead is by far a must have and seriously and I mean seriously, when ever will this record be ever broken? I’m saying not in our lifetime. 

Pistol Pete Alonso scores a hands down 9.4 rating. And by the way, this box is ridiculously detailed and full of color. Score this one asap Snipers at foco.com
