FOCO includes a Man’s Best Friend on 2 New Exclusive Bobbleheads

by | Jul 28, 2020 | Sniper Rants

Listen, we all know times are tough and given the current state of our country, we all have our ups and downs. One thing for sure is having your dog by your side can turn gloomy days into bright days. FOCO just released 2 superb versions of Max Scherzer and Christian Yelich with their dogs by their side. 

Yelich is sitting on a tree stump, with his Brewers hat and jersey on while his dog “Cooper” is by his side. There’s a miniature bat and baseball on top of base, so they’re ready for batting practice or a game of fetch. In addition, a flashy leather dog collar surrounds the perimeter of the base and reads, “Christian and Cooper Yelich.

 

Next, a man can never have enough dogs and Max Scherzer paints that picture well. Mad Max is squatting down with his Nats white jersey on petting his trio of dogs Max, Bo, Rocco, and Zou. The grass texture on top of the base signifies how much Max loves playing with his dogs outside as any 3 of his pups are ready to play fetch. 

These are currently available at foco.com for $45.00 and are scheduled to ship no later than 10/30. Remember to use code sniper10 when checking out to help save the wallet some money. Here’s the link to purchase.

by | Jul 17, 2020 | Sniper Rants

There’s no such thing as the Last Dance as FOCO just released 4 brand new Chicago Bulls exclusive bobbleheads. In addition to their 4 already released arsenal of Bulls bobbleheads, the DANCE continues with 4 new exclusive items. There’s officially now a John Paxson, BJ Armstrong, Bill Cartwright and Horace Grant exclusive bobblehead. 

Each one of these players provided a tremendous amount support behind MJ, Pippen and Rodman. I mean after all, you need a supporting cast to win 3 championships right? These “throwback” Bulls bobbleheads complement the first 4 in the series and will sure define your ever-growing bobblehead collection.

Each player is displayed in a different pose with 3 shiny gold NBA championship trophies on the base. The Chicago Bulls logo sits flat on top of the court base which is an eye catcher to say the least. By far my favorite is the Horace Grant with his extra large white goggles which is a top notch feature that FOCOC added.

Whoever wins the World Series, is it really authentic?

by | Jul 7, 2020 | Sniper Rants

We’ve all been waiting for months for the baseball season to start and the anxiety level is gigantic. A 60 game slate is what we’re in for and that’s that. Some players have already opted out due to major concerns for their families with Coronavirus still being very active. Now, many fans I’ve heard from have said there has to be an asterisk next to the team that wins the World Series this year. In their defense, can you really evaluate being the best team by only playing 60 regular season games as opposed to 162? You know god damn well there’s going to be a ton of injuries and who even knows if EVERY single player is going to play hard. Considering it’s a quick 60 games and for the lower tiered teams, it’s a notion of pay me and I’m out. 

Now whoever wins the World Series is it really authentic? Whoever ends up winning it will 100% lead into the discussion and comparison of, should steroid users be allowed into the Hall of Fame? It’s practically the same discussion. Yes, players cheated by injecting needles into their assess to get bigger and stronger, but the team that wins the World Series are they really the champs? It was only 60 games plus playoffs right? And what will World Series bobbles feel like? Will you be proud to display your teams championship bobbleheads after only playing 60 regular team games? If your team wins it, are you super fucking pumped and will openly brag to your friends? The Dodgers and Yankees are stacked this year. If either of them win it, are they the best team of 2020? What if the Braves win it? Does that make them a better team than the Dodgers? 

At the end of the day, can you really assess a team’s talent but cutting more than half the baseball season in half? It comes down to who gets hot, who falls into an early slump and who stays healthy. Every single team in the big leagues knows they cannot go into a 5 game slump. There’s just not enough time. And on that note, what if a team sucks so bad and are out of contention within 2 weeks, will some players say, “Fuck it” I’m not playing because I’m concerned about Covid? 

It’s been a whacky 2020 so far and will only get crazier. It’s a fact. The good news is we all have the opportunity to watch our teams on a nightly basis. So here’s to a 60 game season plus playoffs, winner take all 2020 baseball league. 

If fans were allowed, how comfortable would you be Sniping at a game?

by | Jul 1, 2020 | Sniper Rants

How comfortable would you be Sniping if allowed into a ballpark? That’s the million dollar question. Baseball is officially here but no fans as well all know and that means no bobbleheads at giveaways. Let me throw this scenario out for the thousands of collectors out there. Let’s say Rob Manfred allowed 25% capacity into the ballparks on July 23rd and for the remaining 59 games.

You know damn well if you are one of the lucky fans to get into the ballpark, you know you’re going to have to wear a mask when not seated watching the game. So that means sniping would occur as normal, before the game while fans are walking around getting food, beer and souvenirs. A mask is very deceiving as the fan you’re trying to snipe from cannot see your mouth or nose. I almost want to compare it to robbing a bank. You roll up to a group of fans, fully masked and propose if you can have their bobblehead. How sleezy and deceptive is that? I don’t care what you say, when a stranger approaches you with a mask on it’s very intimidating. More than likely, when you approach someone, you’ll have to repeat your sniping pitch multiple times as Karen and Betty won’t be able to hear you.

So how comfortable would you be at sniping if fans were allowed? Whether you have your mask on won’t matter as this virus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Your chances of attracting the virus is highly increased if you even enter the ballpark at let’s say 50% or even 25% capacity. You gotta wonder, is it even really worth it? If you are fully confident and can snipe your face off, no matter what bobble you get, the value will instantly increase as many fans won’t have the opportunity to go the the game as many collectors have been sitting at home the past 4 months. Collector’s will pay top dollar as the access to these giveaways have just gotten that much harder. So how comfortable would you be Sniping bobbles at a MLB game if fans were allowed? One can only wonder…

 

How FOCO is dominating the WWE Bobblehead World

by | Jun 23, 2020 | Sniper Rants

I could care less what others say about WWE wrestling is fake or not. These are well trained athletes that provide a piss ton of entertainment to fans all over the world. The WWE has been around it seems like forever now and there’s been a few low budget crappy bobbleheads produced until FOCO stepped in and changed that. A total of 16 bobbleheads are featured on FOCO’s website and it’s only growing. FOCO last year put some feelers out with John Cena and the Rock and sales were apparently strong as the selection of wrestlers has only increased. Each wrestler has a different pose and saying on the side of the base. A fat WWE logo sits flush on each bobble to make it that more legit. I just recently got in this Macho Man Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior and the words very impressed is a severe understatement.

The definition within the leg and arm muscles are spot on and the bright colors practically everywhere on the bobblehead is ridiculously eye-catching. These wrestlers are proven icons within the WWE and we are fortunate to add these highly collectible bobbleheads to our collections. But wait, there’s more. FOCO just got the licensing for another 2 historic WWE wrestlers in Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker. These two are currently available for pre-order on FOCO’s website and are sure to sell out to the general public. Fans all over have been waiting for these 2 (Especially Hulk Hogan) and after seeing what FOCO has done with their previous WWE bobbles, expect big things to come. 

Here’s the link to score your WWE bobbleheads and use code Sniper10 to save at checkout.

How FOCO Capitalized on Greatness

by | Jun 19, 2020 | Sniper Rants

Not only do Washington Capitals love their star Alex Ovechkin but so does the majority of the league. Ovechkin is considered by many as the greatest goal scorer in NHL history and has a real chance of overtaking Wayne Gretzky in total career goals. He’s famous for his deadly “One Timer” which he typically fires from the left faceoff circle which is an area known as his “office”. I myself would discontinue collecting bobbleheads if I had to defend Ovi’s slapshot, as I’d rather keep my teeth and face in tact for the foreseeable future.

That being said, FOCO did not hesitate creating “Greatness” with 2 exclusive Ovechkin bobbleheads for the gigantic amount of fans Ovi has. The first Ovechkin “Goal Counter” red jersey bobblehead sold out within 24 hours. Yup, 2020 of them gone. A week later to please Ovi fans, FOCO dropped a “Celebration Goal Counter” white jersey bobble that has him with his arms raised as he’s posing after yet another goal scored. Both of these bobbleheads feature an adjustable goal counter ticker on front of base, so you can keep track every time Ovi scores. In addition, FOCO added a Capitol Building backdrop with bold jersey number display and team logo banners to highlight the city of Washington. 

The bottom line here Snipers is FOCO cares about what we add to our collections. They hit the right player or mascot at the right time. The detail is incredible and one that you won’t see on a SGA given out at the ballpark. Are their prices high? Maybe a little but the old saying goes, “You pay for what you get”. This completely applies to the quality product you and I receive. Given the fact that I cannot stress enough to use my Sniper10 code, it will ultimately save you money. 

Lastly, when you see a new bobble on FOCO’s website, do not wait. I repeat, DO NOT WAIT. A lot of people don’t like the pre-order rules, but it does take time for China to manufacture the bobblehead and before you know it, you go to add one to your cart and it’s sold out. Don’t allow this to happen as FOCO’s products speak for themselves.
