Bobbleheads Bobble Sniper

#10 of the top 10 SGA Bobbleheads of 2017

by | Sep 21, 2017 | Sniper Rants

Number #10

Noah Syndergaard as Thor

Team: New York Mets

Manufacturer: BD&A

Right off the bat you are probably thinking I’m fucking nuts. This was the most highly talked about bobblehead within the last 5 years of SGA’s. The hype with Marvel and the absolute mad house at Citi Field was insane. Was the hype real? Yes it was. But the bottom line is this bobblehead was poorly made. Syndergaard’s name on the base is barely visible and there’s glue drippings all over the place. The orange flashy cape is definitely cool, along with the overall Marvel theme, but I am very disappointed with the overall product.

I was highly considering this bobble being out of the top 10 but I snuck it in for two reasons and two reasons only. The end of the hammer looks like a squishy boner which brings a little chuckle to the bobble itself. And second, the box is dope as hell. With the colors being so vibrant and the flashes of lighting going in and out, it does make it a true collectors piece. 

And by the way, the box definitely brings value and likability to any bobblehead. 

Like I previously said, the hype for this giveaway was definitely cracked up to be something special, but at the end of the day, Thor was lucky to crack the top 10. 

 

 

Top 10 SGA Bobbleheads of 2017-UPDATE

by | Sep 21, 2017 | Sniper Rants

So as the season of full blast SGA’s is coming to an end, it’s only right for me to rank the top 10 Stadium Giveaway Bobbleheads of 2017. I want to make one thing very clear to all of you. My top 10 rankings are ONLY ones that I own. There were HUNDREDS of bobbleheads given out this year between Major League Baseball and the Minor Leagues. Therefore, this is clearly my rankings based on what I have in my collection. There were many bobbleheads that I either didn’t want in my collection or I couldn’t get. That being said, I don’t wanna hear any bullshit from anyone that says that a certain bobble should have been in the top 10. I will also list honorable mention ones as well after #1 is revealed. 

So, here we go.

The top 10 bobblehead rankings are solely based on the following factors. 

  1. Player Likability
  2. Detail
  3. Rarity-How hard was it to get
  4. Value-What it’s worth on the open market
  5. Uniqueness 
  6. Design and creativity of the box
  7. Sturdiness

Stayed tuned for #10 coming soon! 

 

Bobble of the Day “Enrico Palazzo” Naked Gun Bobblehead

by | Sep 21, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Actor: Enrico Palazzo

Team: Akron Rubberducks

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Destroyer Promotional Products

If you haven’t seen the movie “Naked Gun” then you either must live under a rock or your just a moron. A crazy good movie of good ole Leslie Nielsen trying to uncover a plan to assassinate Queen Elizabeth, who happens to visit the United States. Nielsen who plays “Enrico Pallazo” goes way undercover as a MLB umpire and his antics crack everyone up. I’m very pleased the Rubberducks highlighted such a dynamic character and overall kick ass movie.

Throughout the game, Enrico gets a hard on by calling strikes that are in the dirt, over the catchers head and when he calls a strike 3 on a batter the fans go crazy. He loves the attention and applause from the fans. Although, when he tries to delay the game he calls a ball on every pitch. 

Enrico, within this bobble is giving the pitcher a called strike in a famous pose. As always, the Rubberducks use a “Homeplate” base as well as Enrico’s name, which is in white raised letters. He’s rocking the black umpire chest protector with the light blue undershirt, which is pinpoint detail. Speaking of detail, the umpire mask is a clean as they come as it’s got silver brackets that holds the mask in place. Well done Destroyer. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: Enrico’s white hair absolutely makes this bobblehead. Anyone can identify Enrico by his full, thick, white hair and the Rubberducks nailed this one for sure. The smile with his pure white teeth and blue eyes is an added plus to this SGA. 

Overall, this movie themed bobble is as top notch as they get. Killer design to an epic movie. Add this one to your movie bobble collection and don’t turn back. They are going for $40.00 and change on Ebay and will NOT be easy to score, come this time next year. Enrico Palazzo scores a no brainer 9.0.

Grind until your dreams become a reality. 

You want a better life? You want a nice place you call home? You want to be the main supporter of your family? Then it’s time to fucking grind and blow all of your competition out of the water. Stay up late, put the extra hours in. Forget the Happy Hours and watching the Big Bang Theory. There’s plenty of time for that shit once you’ve made it. Get to work and the results will come. 

Bobble of the Day “Troy Aikman” Exclusive Bobblehead

by | Sep 20, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: Troy Aikman

Team: Dallas Cowboys

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles (Clark Toys)

Most of you young guns see Aikman on Fox as an NFL analyst, but have never actually saw him play. The dude was an absolute boss for the Cowboys who won 3 Super Bowl Championships for the Dallas faithful. In addition, he was a 6 time Pro Bowler who dominated the position of QB. 

Once again, the fellas over at Clark Toys brought the heat with this exclusive bobble. First and foremost, Troy is in his victory pose with both fists clenched as his arms are raised. The 3 Super Bowl rings surround the front of the base which are highly detailed with shiny diamonds, which is a killer feature. The base itself is a circular design with the Cowboys “Star” logo on the top of the base. I also love the fact that Clark’s designed Aikman’s name in raised navy blue letters against the front of the base. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: This bobble is hands down as detailed as they come. You can see the slightest crinkles on the bottom of the jersey that’s tucked into Aikman’s pants which means a lot of time was put into this exclusive. In addition, the facial features with Troy’s mouth and hair design are pinpoint, and look superb. 

For $39.99, this one’s a no brainer of the 3X Super Bowl Champion. Not only do Cowboy fans need to add this bobble to their collection, but all NFL fans as well. Display this proudly on Sunday’s, as this will create chatter when you have guests over to watch the game. Troy Aikman and his exclusive bobble scores a 10.0. 

P.S. This one’s limited to only #750 and they will sell out quick!
