The Cow-Bell Man And The 7Line Bang The Bell On A New Bobblehead

by | Feb 1, 2023 | Sniper Rants

Edwin “Eddie” Boison has been a diehard Mets fans dating back to the Shea Stadium days. Just about every home game you will hear the bang of the cow bell and the chant “Let’s Go Mets!” As the Cow-Bell Man makes his way throughout various parts of the stadium, fans appreciate the dedication and fandom Eddie brings to the team. He never shy’s away from a photo op for fans and his smile brings an invigorating sense of loyalty to the Mets.

Just recently, The 7Line and the Cow-Bell Man collaborated on an exclusive bobblehead. Any Mets fan will desire this collectible as the Cow-Bell Man is wearing his pinstripe Mets jersey while banging on a replica cow bell. A very intriguing feature is not only does his head bobble but his right arm bobbles to create the action of banging the cow bell.

 

The phrase “Let’s-Go-Mets” is peppered on the back of the colorful green base with raised letters to make it look much more authentic.This item retails for $60.00 and could be purchased directly on 7Line’s website Cow-Bell Man Bobblehead

I personally have yet to meet Mr. Cow-Bell Man but I’m hoping to make an appearance at Citi Field this season to greet him. One thing I do know……if the opportunity arises and CBM is gracious enough to sign my bobble, I sure won’t ask him while he’s banging the bell with 2 runners on and no outs in the bottom of the 9th. 

No Lie About This Bobblehead As George Santos Has Arrived

by | Jan 25, 2023 | Sniper Rants

Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first George Santos Bobbleheads. Santos, the recently elected Republican congressman from New York, has been caught in a slew of lies and deceptions about his resume, family heritage and personal life and is now under investigation by multiple organizations. We have been receiving a growing number of requests for a bobblehead of Santos with some people calling him the early candidate for “Bobblehead of the Year”. Two versions of the bobblehead are being offered—a standard version and one with an elongated nose given the seemingly never-ending series of lies and fabrications.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum will be donating $5 from every George Santos Bobblehead sold to dog-related GoFundMe Campaigns. Recently, Rich Osthoff, a Navy veteran from New Jersey, revealed that Santos, then introduced as Anthony Devolder, launched a GoFundMe campaign in 2016 to raise $3,000 for lifesaving surgery for Osthoff’s beloved service dog and kept the money.

  • Each bobblehead is individually numbered to only 2,023.
  • The bobbleheads are $30 each plus an $8 flat-rate shipping charge per order.
  • The officially licensed bobbleheads were produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

Just What The “Doc” Ordered As Grubbs Creates A Custom Gooden Bobblehead

by | Jan 21, 2023 | Sniper Rants

Travis Grubb never shy’s away from creating a masterpiece when it comes to his next custom bobblehead idea. Recently, while scrolling through social media, Grubbs noticed a trade show with a stacked lineup of former and present professional athletes. Many nation-wide shows present opportunities for fans and collectors to meet their favorite athletes who stand in long lines for a chance to receive an autograph. One name that stood out instantly to Grubbs was Doc Gooden.

Dwight, aka “Doc” who won a World Series title with the New York Mets in 1986 was a fan favorite amongst baseball fans in the tri-state area for many years.  “The idea came to mind to replicate Doc in a pinstripe uniform on a 1986 World Series “Ticket Base” with of course the shiny trophy to highlight the title for the Mets” says Grubb. The rest is history as Grubbs went right to work on a 3D preparation program called Chiutbox that improves quality when printing. 

A total of 30 hours just for print time went into creating this custom Doc Gooden bobblehead. It took Grubbs 12 hours to print the base, 12 hours to print the body and 6 hours to print the head and trophy. Ultimately, 45 total hours with prep and paint made this project happen. “I started with an existing Doc bobblehead and scanned it using my Eiscan scanner. Next, I used Meshmixer to clean up the parts and made several tweaks and adjustments to the model. Lastly, the Chiutbox was used to set up the pieces for printing says Grubb.” From start to finish it’s a long process but the biggest pain in the ass was the painting. According to Grubb, the pinstripe on the uniform was so thin which made painting within those lines very time consuming. “I really took my time with this custom because when I present it to the player, it’s extremely rewarding for me to see their reaction. I want the entire piece to be perfect says Grubb.”

Once Grubbs hits the road to the VA Beach Fieldhouse on February 25th with the good Doc sitting shotgun, he understands and appreciates the countless hours in creating this custom bobblehead. “To see a players reaction when you show them an item that you personally created, makes the long hours working on the project seem minimal.”

Grubbs is excited to get his bobblehead inked by Mr. Gooden next month and Mets collectors have already reached out to him in hopes he can manufacture more customs. When asked what his intentions are for the 12″ custom bobble, “As of right now, this custom 1 of 1 is mine to get signed. I have my ears open and will always listen to what collectors want. I will never turn down a request to create something special for someone.” You can reach him via email [email protected] or DM him on Instagram at rva_bobbles.
