Bobble of the Day “New York Mets World Series Champs Exclusive Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Mascot: Mr. Met

Team: New York Mets

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

No surprise here that the Bobble Hall had a Mr. Met Championship trophy bobblehead made. The fanbase of the Mets is like a fucking cult. They are beyond diehard fans who ride and die with their team no matter how good or bad they play. They always fill the seats at Citi and given the fact that Mr. Met is the most popular mascot in the game, it’s hard not to root for the Mets. 

I’m honestly dead shocked that the “Sold Out” sign is not next to this bobblehead on the Bobble Hall of Fame website yet. With only 1,000 made, I have a feeling after I post this blog, they will be sold out. It just shows how high the demand is for any Mr. Met bobblehead. It’s down right incredible. 

So the Mets won the whole damn think in 69 and of course 86, by beating my Red Sox. Mr. Met is highlighted on this bobble by holding both World Series trophies like a stud. Mr. Met doesn’t fuck around. He’s cocky and he knows it. Fans adore him and I don’t blame them. I love the orange, blue and white color combinations that are  displayed in the logo on the top of the base. There’s something about those 3 colors together that get my juices flowing. I can’t pinpoint exactly why, but together they look kick ass. The Mets team name rides across the front of the base with white raised letters. The font that FOCO uses for their lettering is insanely eye catching and I hope they never change it.

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: Let’s be real right now. Who doesn’t like a mascot that has a baseball for a head? No one. The red baseball stitching on Mr. Met’s head is as original as a ham sandwich. It never gets old and fans flock to Mr. Met. Given the fact that the back banner has all 3 of the previous mentioned colors, and has the 2 years the Mets won the title, this New York Mets championship bobble is the real deal. It’s actually foolish if you haven’t already ordered it by now. I’d give it just a few more days until we see the “Sold Out” sign, as that’s how popular and deluxe this bobblehead is.  I can only recommend what I like and what a “must have” is, but I cannot buy it for you. That’s your job. Mr. Met scores a knockout game changing 10.0 rating.

MLB World Series Champions Mascot Bobbleheads

Bobble of the Day “Toronto Blue Jays World Series Champs Exclusive Bobblehead

by | Feb 26, 2018 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Mascot: Blue Jay

Team: Toronto Blue Jays

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

You should already know that our friends North of the border are GIGANTIC diehard Blue Jay fans. And you know what they crave even more than their team? Bobbleheads! Do a Google search of “Bobblehead lines in Toronto” and you’ll see a swarm of fans lining up to receive their bobble on a game day giveaway. I love their enthusiasm and better yet, they are enormous collectors of bobbleheads. This Blue Jays World Series Champs bobblehead has been flying off the shelves at the warehouse of the Bobblehead Hall of Fame and rightfully so. The J’s won back to back titles in 92 and 93, as those two years they had a fucking bomb squad. The Bobble Hall created a mascot champs bobble to highlight those championships, for the simple fact that “Ace the Blue Jay” is a top notch mascot in the game. He’s fun, entertaining and extremely popular. This one HAD to be in my collection for the following reasons. 

You may think the base is dull or boring, but the circular design with the Blue Jays logo is a “classic” look. The white raised letters on the front of the base blend in well with the royal blue backdrop for a eye catching appearance. The back banner which displays the years the J’s won a World Series title is built like a brick shit house as it actually curves.  An extreme amount of detail was put forth by the Bobble Hall in creating what I consider, a “Masterpiece” of a bobblehead.

  

 

 

Sniper Rating: The final feature that grabs my eye is Ace standing there holding up the trophies like a fucking boss. In the early 1990’s no team came close to competing with the Blue Jays and Ace knows it. The shiny trophies add ridiculous flare to the bobble and whether you’re a Jay’s fan or not, this NEEDS to be displayed for others to see. It’s time for you Snipers to add some cockiness to your collection and when your bro’s come over, you point to Ace with pride. A killer mascot and a dominant team in the early 1990’s, the Blue Jay’s were flat out a wrecking crew. Period. Head over to https://store.bobbleheadhall.com/collections/bobbleheads/products/worldserieschamps?variant=126864359431 and score it before they sell out. The bottom line is this Blue Jays championship trophy bobble scores a sure fire 10.0 rating with hesitation. 

Bobble of the Day “Gordie Howe” Whalers/Hartford Wolfpack SGA Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player: Gordie Howe

Team: Hartford Whalers

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: AGP

Last night was crazy at the XL Center. When I attend bobble giveaway games, I love the excitement and adrenaline prior to entering the gates. The juices were flowing and their was a huge buzz in the air. These fans were fucking crazy, as they love their Whalers and the Hartford Wolfpack paid tribute to Gordie Howe. I’m not the biggest hockey buff, but my buddy Jay enlightened me prior to the game that Gordie Howe was the king of hockey before Wayne Gretzky. So this is one bobble I had to score.

For all you hockey diehards, to this day, this is the ONLY Hartford Whalers bobblehead in existence. The green jersey is very eye-catching and the bottom of the base has Gordie’s name in white raised letters. I wish AGP put a hockey puck design on top of the base instead of a plain white base. The socks, pants, jersey, gloves and skates are ABSOLUTELY laced with design. I’ve seen other hockey SGA’s and they don’t even come close to the detail on this Gordie. The “Whale” logo is everywhere and the finest detail with colored stripes are seen throughout the uniform.

  

 

 

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: My biggest impression lies within the sturdiness of the bobblehead. A lot of hockey bobbles have cracks in the ankles and break easily. AGP made it a point to create a brick-shithouse sturdy as fuck legs. This thing won’t break at all. 

Overall, this Hartford Whalers Gordie Howe bobblehead is one of the most deluxe hockey bobbles I’ve held in hand. We all got white standard boxes which kind of sucked but we are stuck with it. We scored a bunch and as you already know, my 2 year old shit her pants and we ran out of diapers. We had no choice than to leave. Family ALWAYS comes first and I didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable and we had an hour ride home in the pouring rain. Now, if she didn’t shit her pants, this could have easily turned into a 40-50 bobblehead night score. Oh well. A great night at the XL Center and Gordie hands down scores a 9.0 rating. 

Bobble of the Day “David Ortiz” Springfield Thunderbirds SGA Bobblehead

by | Feb 22, 2018 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: David Ortiz

Team: Springfield Thunderbirds

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: AGP

People around the Boston area can’t get enough of Big Papi. The guy retires a few years ago and now a minor league hockey team named the Springfield Thunderbirds gave out a SGA of yours truly, David Ortiz. I’ve never even heard of the Thunderbirds prior to this giveaway, but I sure as hell do now.  

Word on the street was to score extras of this bobble was damn near impossible. The people of Springfield Mass are diehard fans and everyone wanted this bobble.  Luckily, my buddy Joe and Brandon, got me the hookup and I appreciate the generosity. 

Not very often do you see a hockey team commemorate a MLB player for a giveaway, but we got lucky here Snipers. Ortiz is in his famous homerun stance as he crosses home plate with both arms in the air. The Thunderbirds threw a dope looking hockey jersey on Big Papi, as their logo is very sharp looking. It’s lined with red and blue stripes and Ortizs’ name and number sit tight on the back with raised letters. 

 

 

 

Sniper Rating: What would a David Ortiz bobblehead be without the flashy Oakley sunglasses? Props to the Thunderbirds for adding this feature, as it makes the bobblehead MUCH more attractive. A smash hit bobblehead and a big thanks to the Springfield Thunderbirds, as this Ortiz bobble scores a 8.5 rating. Unfortunately, it comes with a standard white box instead of a high gloss colored one. Sneak over to Ebay and pick one up as the price of this Springfield David Ortiz bobblehead will only increase in the near future!

Bobble of the Day “Ichiro Suzuki” Most Hits Bobblehead

by | Feb 20, 2018 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day 

Player: Ichiro Suzuki

Team: Orix Blue Wave, Yankees, Mariners, Marlins

Year: 2018

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

Fucking Ichiro Snipers. The dude started his professional career in Japan with the Orix Blue Wave and came over to the US to break all kinds of hitting records. He doesn’t and never had a lot of power but can slap the shit out of a base hit like you wouldn’t believe. Now a lot of people are going to honor Pete Rose as the most hits in professional baseball but Ichiro takes the crown because over in Japan they field a professional team. There’s lots of controversy over the most hits by a single player but I gotta go with Ichiro. You have to take a step back and visualize how incredible 4,257 hits are. The amount of dominant pitching this guy has seen is ridiculous and I don’t think I’ve taken 4,000 shits in my lifetime never mind a professional hitter whacking 4,000 plus hits on a baseball field! 

FOCO surprised us baseball fans with a quadruple bobble of Ichiro in all 4 of his uniforms which is crafty as fuck. The base reads “The Most Hits Ever Across MLB And Japan’s NPB. Raised letters of course and logo’s of the 4 teams he’s played for. Each bobble of Ichiro has him in a different stance which is complete attention to detail! Every pose is vintage Ichiro and out of all of them, I love the bat pointing up on his Orix Blue Wave bobble. Any sensible baseball fan knows Ichiro holds his bat pointing up prior to the pitch being delivered. 

 

 

 

  

 

Sniper Rating: This quadruple bobble of Ichiro is limited to only 360 and the bobbles themselves are roughly 4.5 inches. If they were standard sized 8 inch bobbles it would look stupid. The size they are now is perfect as it won’t take up to much room in your display case. You don’t need me to tell you that you need this. Unique players like Ichiro don’t come around to often and he’s a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. Given the detail, bright colors all-around and the fact that it’s a 4 player bobblehead you can’t pass this one up. A knockout 10.0 rating for this Ichiro bobblehead.
