Bobble of the Day

Player: Roger Dorn

Team: Gateway Grizzlies 

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: AGP

I’ve literally been waiting for any baseball team to come out with a Dorn bobblehead. He might be my favorite character from the movie Major League. Roger Dorn sucks ass at 3rd baseball and is afraid of the ball. After countless reps of taking ground balls at 3rd, he finally gets pissed off and puts his arms in the air saying,”What the fuck, c’mon!” 

This is the exact pose from Dorn in the movie. AGP did a very good job on this one. He’s on his knees with the arms in the air as he’s frustrated as hell. The balls that have hit him all over the place are lying right on the ground next to him. The letters are raised on the front of the base and are very visible. He’s rocking the Indians jersey and hat and has his name and number on the back of the jersey. 

Sniper Rating: A very tough and expensive bobble to get, but this one belongs in your collection Snipers. I wish there was some brown dirt near his knees instead of just green grass. Lastly, I would have liked if the Gateway Grizzlies made the box with color and some cool photos. Instead, they decided to save a few bucks and gave fans a standard white box. It doesn’t take the popularity of the bobble down, but it is a small factor. 

Roger Dorn and his inability to field a ground ball at 3rd base bobble scores a 8.5. 

Bobble of the Day

Player: Mookie Betts

Team: Boston Red Sox

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

Here we go again with another standout Exclusive bobblehead from FOCO. This Mookie Betts takes the cake in the world of defensive bobbleheads. Mookie is known for not only his offense but his killer defense in right field. FOCO decided to highlight his defensive skills as Mookie is literally coming out making a sliding grab.

The most attractive feature is the fact that Mookie is diving right at you. He’s sprawled out catching a line drive with an enlarged black glove and the ball sitting comfortably in the webbing.  His knees are bolted in with 2 screws as the back baseball card base is sturdy enough to hold the bobble itself. The background is a beautiful picture of Fenway Park as the sun is going down. The clarity and detail is phenomenal on the backing. It stands roughly 12 inches tall and is very observant to the eye. 

The top of the base is super thick and has a Fenway “Green” color to it. FOCO added some excellent features that includes a sturdy Red Sox helmet and a bat. On the front of the base sits a baseball card nameplate that has Mookie’s stats and player profile. Very creative approach to highlight the player. 

Sniper Rating: Going with the Fidget Spinner theme, FOCO added another one to this special piece. Each side has lights shining on the Green Monster scoreboard and is very flashy. Bett’s number #50 is in the middle of the spinner and the Sox logo “B” is on the other side. The smooth 3 blade rounded sides makes the spinner easy to maneuver. On top of it, the spinner is super heavy meaning it’s built to last!

The box is another great thing I love about this overall “Special Edition” bobble. On one side is a HUGE photo of Mookie in a black and white photo and on the other side has a colorful picture of Fenway Park, the Sox logo and Mookie’s number. 

Given the height being 12 inches and the amount of detail, I would spend my hard earned $60.00 on this exclusive Mookie bobble. He’s the absolute future of the Red Sox and you’ll want to display this to turn heads in your collection. Limited to only 2,017 this is in my top 5 of Red Sox bobbles that sit in the bobble cave. Mookie scores a 10.0.

Bobble of the Day

Player: Kris Bryant

Team: Chicago Cubs

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

I know I’m gonna catch a lot of bullshit from you Snipers because I disliked almost ALL of the Chicago Cubs World Series bobbles, as FOCO oversaturated the market with them. But let me tell you something, this one is different. 

Bryant is by far the best player on the reigning World Series Champions and this is the SICKEST Cubs “Exclusive” FOCO has come out with.

Why I dig this exclusive so much is the fact that there’s history behind it. Between Wrigley Field and Fenway Park being the oldest and most historic stadium’s in the Major Leagues, any baseball fan can identify the green ivy in the outfield. 

Bryant is absolutely covered in bright green ivy as he should. Wrigley is a place on everyone’s bucket list including mine to watch a game! Bryant, is standing at 12 inches tall and holding up the famous World Series trophy. He’s screaming out loud as the diehard Cubbie faithful finally won the title. The base is thick as hell and has a “brick” design to it which is ridiculous. The words, “Wrigley Field” is written in cursive letters on top of the brick wall and looks very professional. The circular Cubs logo is stuck right on the ivy wall and is almost an inch thick!

Now to the green ivy. The green ivy makes this bobblehead. Hands down. I am absolutely clueless on how our friends over in China hand painted the curvy ivy all over the place. When holding the bobble in hand, it’s down right fascinating! FOCO could have designed the ivy just on top of the base and called it a day but no. These dudes have the ivy growing on Bryant’s legs and up to his chest! 

Sniper Rating: Get it, get it, get it! Enough said. The Fidget Spinner is disgustingly detailed with all 3 blades covered in bright green ivy with a light redish color around the perimeter. The box has a good size to it and there’s a dope black and white photo of Bryant. There’s also little vines of ivy creeping around all sides of the box which is the highest of detail. Finally, on the back, Bryant’s name and number is displayed with ivy covering the brick wall. 

My only gripe on this exclusive, is I wish FOCO made Bryant’s name plate a little larger and got rid of some of the ivy on the front part of the base. His name is raised letters but I’d like it if it was bigger so his name stands out a bit more. 

Overall, this is the KING of Chicago Cubs World Series bobbleheads. Given the height and amazing detail, this bobble will turn heads when viewed in your collection without question. This “Special Edition” bobble scores another 10.0.
