This one is a sure fire Homerun in my book! Sparky Anderson the legendary coach of the Tigers and Reds. Everyone knew Sparky cause of his white hair and white eyebrows. This bobble depicts Sparky to the T!!! Wrinkles in his face and the pearl white teeth. The white hair flowing out, is dead spot on and this bobble was nailed as an identical replication of good ole Sparky! ...

Jacoby is a good looking dude. Chicks go nuts over this guy. Seems like all the time you go to the park, the girls are hollering like they wanna bend over for him. Jacoby has many bobbleheads that include MLB and a lot of Minor League ones. The Lowell Spinners came out with a Ellsbury one a few years ago and he looks like a cartoon character. It looks NOTHING like the real Jacoby and...

This may be the worst "Failed it" bobblehead that's ever been made. OMG this is awful. How can you mess up a Larry Legend bobblehead this bad? Larry deserves much better than this and the Maine Red Claws have much explaining to do. Larry looks like a guy who drives a van around with no windows ready to lurk on little kids. He's got the bright yellow porn mustache and his hair was...

There's nothing worse for a bobblehead collector then dealing with a beyond repairable bobblehead. We've all had our breaks, cracks, chipped paint etc. But when is really the right time to dump a bobble in the trash can? There's many degrees of damage to a bobblehead. The feet can be separated from the base, the ankles or neck can be cracked or the brim of the hat can be chipped, to...

So here's the first of many to come of the Bobble Faces "Nailed it/Failed it" edition of bobbleheads that look exactly like the real players, and not so much of the player. Like I said on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, if you have a bobble that looks just like the actual player or a none-look alike, take a good picture of your bobblehead and a Google pic of the player. Send it to...

All the time I get the question, "How many bobbleheads do you have in your collection"? It's a cool question, but does it really matter how many you actually have?  The answer is yes and no. Yes, because when you first start collecting and you have only 4 or 5, you want to just keep growing and growing. I consider 20-30 a real collection. When you have under 10 bobbles that's just a...

As 2018 is approaching soon, I have MANY expectations in store for the new year. First off, in 2017 we saw an enormous amount of "Exclusive" bobbleheads from all vendors. I think 2018 continues that trend but more and more limited numbers to be produced. I think the days of 2,500 and 3,000 being made are over. Bobbleheads have gotten to damn expensive lately and they are only going...

The fuck is the deal with these Funko Pop things? I see these fuckers all over the place and I mean ALL over the place. I see these shit's in Walmart, Target and all retail sites. I have one critical question. Are these even bobbleheads? To me these are just little stupid figurines. I only have one, yes one of these in my collection. Buddy the Elf. I don't even know how it entered...

Yup, if you guessed a bobblehead you're a fucking genius. But for real, why would anyone within my immediate family get me a bobblehead? Which one would they get me? I mean, if there's a bobblehead out there that I want, I get it. No matter what. But but being dead honest, I'd be afraid if a family member gifted me a bobblehead on Christmas. I'd be extremely afraid that they may have...

Well if you guessed Kloanz Inc. then you're right. Those who have followed me this past year and have read the blogs and seen the videos on Youtube know exactly how awful this company is. I actually think they should get a big pile of shit in their stocking but I held back thinking that would be to graphic.  Shame on this company and my heart felt sympathy goes out to all Los Angeles...

Tough question here Snipers. A fellow Sniper proposed this blog idea and I had to really think about it. Who would I rather allow back in the NFL? Johnny Manziel or Colin Kaepernick? Firstly, when Kaepernick did play in his first 2-3 years in the NFL, he was good. He led the 49ers to the Super Bowl and lost to the Ravens. He had a laser fuckin arm as he used to pitch in college at...

This is always a great question within the bobblehead community. If you've been listening to me for years now, you know how important it is to "Snipe" the best price for the bobble you want to add to your collection. Now, there is an exception. There will be that one time where you've been hunting for that one special bobble to complete a set or whatever the reason may be. Either...

What's the best sponsor emblem on a bobblehead?  On just about every SGA, there’s a sponsor emblem. It’s typically right in front and very visible as the sponsor themselves feel their money is going to increase revenue. After all, that's why sponsors put their name on a bobblehead for the giveaway. Often times I feel the emblems get in the way and lose attractiveness from the bobble...

Everywhere you search whether it be Google or Youtube regarding bobbleheads, everyone spells it different. The word “bobble” is an actual word. Many people spell it as "bobblehead or bobble head". I've been known to spell it both ways as well. So for some clarification here ya go.  According to dictionary.com the definition of bobble is as follows: 1. a repeated, jerky movement; bob....

What I mean by this, is do you collect just one team, multiple teams, or have your collection scattered all over the place?   Originally, when I started collecting, I only had a vision to collect Red Sox bobbles. As time went on, I started to develop a likeness for multiple teams and players. For months, all I focused on were Seattle Mariner bobbles and specifically Ichiro, Griffey...

Listen, as much as a slam and hate Ebay for their fees and regulations, they are useful for one specific factor. Protection. I’m sure we’ve all purchased many bobbles through Ebay and 70% of the time the knucklehead seller doesn’t package the bobblehead to well and it arrives damaged.  Fear no more. I’ve been buying on Ebay for just under 9 years. I’ve had many broken items arrive to...

This is one question I get asked all the time. Anyone who has a collection that’s over 50-75 bobbles knows that boxes can be very difficult to store. I’m sure the majority of us don’t own a 6,000 square foot house that has tons of storage, in which we can put our empty boxes. Therefore, you have to be creative. Very creative.  The first option that most collectors think is either the...

I love this question and I can't wait to hear from all you Snipers as to which bobble you'd never think of getting rid of.  I myself would never get rid of my David Ortiz World Series Championship trophy/MVP bobblehead. This one has a soft spot in my heart as without Big Papi, the Sox would never win the World Series. He single handily destroyed pitching and helped propel the Red Sox...

By far, hands down the manufacturer of SGA 2017 Bobbleheads goes to Success Promotions!!! They were assigned to create and manufacture some very difficult bobbles this season and they nailed it. For example, Cousin Eddie and Wayne's world. Both faces look identical to the character. Do u have any idea how complex it must have been to duplicate Cousin Eddie's snarl face? Nevermind...

There’s many collector’s out in the bobblehead world that want their bobbleheads signed. I guess the somewhat new term getting any item signed is called a “graph”. I will be the first to say that I am not a big fan of anything signed and here’s why. When I was kid and went to a professional sporting event, I wanted to get something signed. I didn’t care what it was. I mean what...
