Bobble of the Day “Randy Johnson” USC Trojans SGA Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player: Randy Johnson

Team: USC Trojans

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Success Promotions

Let me be frank and say this Randy Johnson USC bobblehead was hard as fuck to track down. I refused to pay $70.00 on Ebay and many of my connections fell through. I finally struck gold and traded with a fellow Sniper but it wasn’t easy. 

Only 500 of these fuckers were given out to fans which is extremely odd in the SGA world. 90% of whatever game you attend typically hands out 1,000 at minimum. Not USC. As much money as this University makes they can’t give out a 1,000? Total bullshit. 

USC baseball bobbleheads are always made by Success Promotions and they are legit. Last year they gave away a Barry Zito bobble and that one was just as difficult to get. By the way, Snipers that went to this Randy Johnson bobblehead giveaway game did not fair well at all. It was slim pickins and given the small amount handed away, it was hard to Snipe. 

I love USC bobbles are ALWAYS eye catching bobbles because of their 2 distinctive colors being Gold and Cardinal. They pop and are very attractive to the eye. Randy is in his gun slinging pitching pose with wavy detailed hair coming out the back of his ball cap. The standard pitching mound design is as classic as it gets. I love how USC says fuck any sponsor for their bobbles as they just put their motto “Fight On!” on the sponsor emblem. I love it.

Sniper Rating: Given how Randy Johnson was the most intimidating pitcher in our era and how difficult these are to get, this is a home run bobble. The box colors and overall glossy design makes this SGA that much more appealing. Success once again knocked it out of the park and if you somehow can avoid paying top dollar on Ebay, try and give up the farm with a trade and score this. College baseball SGA bobbles are ridiculously hard to come by as many teams just don’t do giveaways. They attract very few fans for every game so why even bother. I was pissed off trying to find this one via trade and I finally got my mitts on it. I love everything about it and it scores a 9.7 in my book. 

Bobble of the Day “Dabo Swinney Clemson Tiger” Duel Mascot Championship Bobblehead

by | May 16, 2019 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Coach/Mascot: Dabo Swinney and Clemson Tiger

Team: Clemson Tigers

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

We all know Clemson has shit down the neck of Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide the past few years.  And what’s better to celebrate their domination of the Tide than a duel bobblehead of a Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tiger? I recently posted a video of the Dabo Swinney bobble standing inside of a stadium which is a dynamite collectible, but now we have Dabo along side the Tiger! 

Lets’s take a deeper look into this new exclusive bobblehead manufactured by FOCO. Both the Tiger and Dabo are standing in a victory pose ready to high-five each other. Swinney has his sharp looking orange Clemson hat and sweatshirt on with an official headset to call the proper play. The Tiger is decked out in his all-white jersey with flashes of orange and black on his fur. Next, the orange miniature helmet sits flush on the base right along side the Tiger to highlight the ultimate fandom of the Clemson faithful. The grass texture on the base is as authentic as it gets and gives off a feel of a collector being on the field with Dabo and the Tiger.

 

Sniper Rating: Let me be clear. This duel bobble is not just for Clemson fans. It’s for ANY College Football fan who watches games on Saturdays in the Fall. We were all convinced Alabama would run the table for as long as Saban was the head coach. And now along comes the Clemson Tigers and their year after year dominate recruiting class. This Dabo Swinney Clemson Tiger duel mascot championship bobblehead without question scores a 9.0. The sheer fact that Dabo Swinney is turning into a legendary coach and the Tiger quite possibly is the greatest mascot in the game should validate one thing. This bobblehead NEEDS to be in your collection. You’re gonna regret not adding this piece to your fireplace mantle on Saturday’s and before you think this is a plug for FOCO, you couldn’t be more wrong. I’m plugging this shit because it’s an elite bobble. 

Click the link below to pre-order yours today. If you wait too long these will sell out. Clemson fans down south have been licking their chops to have this masterpiece arrive at their doorstep. Don’t be a sucker and overpay to Ohio Mold Guy on Ebay for double what you can get this for now. I’ll be pissed if you do. Score this today.

Here’s a reminder what Dabo has done to turn this program around to become the powerhouse of College Football. 

Bobble of the Day “Cody Bellinger” LA Dodgers SGA Bobblehead

by | May 1, 2019 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: Cody Bellinger

Team: Los Angeles Dodgers

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: BDA

Listen, I’m not going to write a blog or record a Vlog every time a Dodger bobble gets handed out because there’s way too fucking many. Also, the quality of them over the years have been beyond piss poor. I’ll do the “good” current players but not the Hall of Fame guys from 1960. There’s close to 18 being given away this year and I flat out don’t have the time but better yet, I just don’t want to. 18 is fucking outrageous and the Dodgers are single handily destroying fans wallets by having them spend money to attend every single game to get their bobblehead.

So on to the recent Cody bobble. It’s basically the same shit as the Walker Buehler. There’s some paint chips and some glue globs over the body and the resin material just feels cheap as fuck. I feel like if I were to snap the legs in half, the white resin mold would flutter in the air like LeBron tossing the talcum powder at the announcers table. The head on this Bellinger is drastically over sized for some reason. It looks like they grabbed a fucking watermelon and threw it on his neck. BDA also made Cody’s face look like a 8 year lactose intolerant old kid running after an ice cream truck.

Sniper Rating: The good aspects of this bobble are obviously the raised letters on the base and jersey name. The letters are very visible and anyone can read what they say. The box does have a clear open shell for the collector to easily see and there’s a few colorful photo’s that are eye catching.

I’m gonna put most of the blame on the Dodgers this time and leave BDA alone. BDA has to produce 25,000 of these fucking things and when the factories are backed up in China with a zillion other teams for BDA to make bobbles for, the quality suffers. The fucking Dodgers need to cut the number of bobbles they hand out to 6-8 per year. On top of that, they need to give out 15,00 and not 25,000. 25k just like the Mets is way too many and if fans can’t get to the stadium on time to receive one of the first 15k, then they don’t deserve one. 

The Dodgers take the hit on the quality of this Bellinger bobble as BDA did what they could to make 25k in a hurry. If you’re a Dodger fan grab this one. If you’re not a Dodgers fan than pass and save your money. As a result of the Dodgers promotional department, this Cody Bellinger bobblehead scores mediocre 5.5 rating. 

Bobble of the Day “George Brett” Kansas City Royals Alumni Hall of Fame Bobblehead

Bobble of the Day

Player: George Brett

Team: Kansas City Royals

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

I can’t imagine what it’s like to hold the Hall of Fame trophy once your inducted in Cooperstown. Is it an instant boner or just a brain freeze because it’s such a huge accomplishment. Regardless, George Brett is a fucking legend in Kansas City and what a career he had when he played for the Royals. The guys over at the Bobblehead Hall of Fame have a new series of FOCO bobbles that are named “Alumni Bobbleheads”. There are some Reds Hall of Famers with a few Royals sprinkled in. It’s a phenomenal idea to again highlight how special these players are who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

This George Brett Kansas City Royals bobblehead might be my favorite of the ones I have of him. The powder blue uniform is ridiculously eye catching and he’s standing on an inch wide base with the KC logo and Cooperstown logo. The fact that George Brett is flaunting his Hall of Fame plaque in hand is such a boss move.

 

Sniper Rating: Listen, bobblehead collectors often stay true to just collecting their favorite teams and or specific players. Everyone, and I mean everyone loves George Brett. The guy was a fucking nut case and had so many memorable plays as a Royal. I don’t give a shit if you’re not a Royals fan as this NEEDS to be added to your collecting. It’s that simple. The feeling of holding this bobble in your mitts with the all powder blue uniform creates instant goose bumps. Swing by the Bobblehead Hall of Fame and grab this as only 1,000 were made!

Bobble of the Day “Miami Maniac” Miami Hurricanes Exclusive Bobblehead

by | Apr 11, 2019 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Mascot: Miami Maniac

Team: Miami Hurricanes

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

The Hurricanes are known for the “U” symbol with the official mascot of the Hurricanes being Sebastian. What most fans don’t know is the baseball team has their own mascot, The Maniac. Miami’s baseball never gets the recognition they deserve as they are often out shadowed by the football team. The baseball team year after year is ranked in the top 25 in the country and are down right nasty. At home games you can see The Maniac go ape shit when the Hurricanes score a run. The Bobblehead Hall of Fame thought of the idea of creating a bobble of The Maniac, as you just flat out don’t see many college baseball mascot bobbleheads. Yet again, another phenomenal idea by the guys at the Bobblehead Hall. 

By far the most eye-popping feature on this bobble is the color variation. The mixture of orange, green, tan and the multi colored hat is downright attractive as hell. The simple stance by The Maniac holding a bat and ball in each hand is such a boss move. He’s cocky and he knows the Canes on the field are contenders every year.

Sniper Rating: We live in a bobblehead world with very few mascot bobbles within the college game so this is a no brainer to add this to your collection. Given the fact of its rarity and only 1,000 were manufactured, this Miami Hurricanes “The Maniac” bobblehead will be a an asset to your collection. Do yourself a favor and click the link below to scoop this one up from the Bobblehead Hall of Fame.

Bobble of the Day “Christian Yelich” Milwaukee Brewers 2018 MVP Bobblehead

by | Mar 26, 2019 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: Christian Yelich

Team: Milwaukee Brewers

Year: 2019

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

When you finish a regular season batting .326,  slamming 36 Homeruns, scoring 118 runs, and smacking in 110 RBI’s you better sure as hell win the MVP. Not only was Yelich’s stats off the charts, he single handily propelled his team deep into the playoffs. One has to wonder why he didn’t stack these numbers when he played on the Marlins, but that’s a foregone conclusion that the Brewers helped him with their potent lineup.

So this 2018 National League MVP bobble is as good as it gets. Brewers fans will gawk over this based on the detail and sturdiness alone. For shit and giggles, I weighed just the bobblehead on my scale and it came in at 1.48 lbs. This thing is one of the most sturdy and well built bobbles I’ve ever seen. The base has a “brick theme” to it and sits about an inch thick and Miller Park is detailed as fuck that sits right on top. Yelich’s pose is the best feature on this bobble as his entire uniform is very detailed and FOCO added a sleek gold color to the bottom of his cleats.

Sniper Rating: Yelich definitely deserved the MVP and you deserve to add this super limited bobble to your collection. MVP bobbleheads are a rarity and when they are made, you gotta capitalize and grab it. Head over to foco.com and score one before they sell out. There’s no reason in my mind that Yelich cannot duplicate the same numbers this year as he’s only going to get better as his career furthers. 

Here’s the link to add this beauty to your collection.
