Shatner Bobbleheads

admin

Are you a Shatner fan? Or for that matter, a Shatner Star Trek fan? Because at San Diego’s Comic Con this year, William Shatner bobbleheads will be released!

One being his legendary character from Star Trek and another from his stint in an episode of the Twilight Zone. Pretty cool if you ask me…but it gets better! There will be two lunchboxes, yes lunchboxes, made of metal and all. The lunchboxes look just like a good old television set complete with a scene from both shows Shatner starred in. While the lunchboxes are very cool, we do not think they are near as cool as the bobbleheads of William Shatner! Anybody have an extra ticket to San Diego!?

Allen Iverson Returns

admin

Philadelphia has had its share of great sports players, from Ron Jaworski to Eric Lindros to Dr J. And Philly was also had its share of memorable players; they aren’t necessarily always good players, but they were memorable and usually in that they brought some form of controversy with them. Think about the Broad Street Bullies (they were great players, but probably most memorable is that they brought a physical toughness to the game which Philly loves), or Hank Baskett who had a few good plays but ultimately had his fame because of marrying Kendra (which Wikipedia lists as American television personality, businesswoman, glamour model and author, but really her fame came thanks to Hugh Hefnor and Playboy).

Then there is Allen Iverson, good player but even bigger trouble maker. Who can forget his famous practice discussion ‘we talkin ‘bout practice’, his many arrests, or financial troubles? Whatever it may be he has left his impression, and Philadelphia basketball fans love him. He has had numerous tribute and honorary nights with the most recent being Saturday for Allen Iverson bobblehead night. Check out the video here that is not lacking in applause:

Obama and Netanyahu Bobbleheads

admin

On Mar 18, 2013 President Obama visited our long time ally, Israel. Now, when a president visits another country, there will be news articles, blog posts, television segments…but what about a YouTube video? No problem, I mean this is the tech age. But wait, not just any video; no actual rendition of the meeting or even drawings. Instead, let’s use bobbleheads! We LOVE the idea (obviously) because we are bobblehead fanatics. But how does everyone else feel about it? First watch the video made by The Israeli Embassy to get an idea:

Did you find it more entertaining than a typical news segment or report? We couldn’t keep our eyes off it, but hey we are bobblehead fanatics! If you remember, we actually did a custom bobblehead contest on Facebook during the elections for the people of Facebook to choose the next president of Bobbletown. Now, we had two bobbleheads crafted that oddly enough resembled the two candidates. We wonder if The Israeli Embassy saw our contest and loved the idea of a political figure as bobbleheads!?

What is cool is that with this release, they posted their twitter handle to be able to tweet your thoughts and comments. We think you should head over and give Whoopass a shout out and let them know we are the original custom bobblehead makers! Well okay maybe that is a little extreme but we do encourage you to express your views or questions if you feel so inclined.

Elton John’s Bobbleheads!

admin

Sir Elton Hercules John, aka Reginald Kenneth Dwight, aka Sir Humphrey Handbag, or more simply and notoriously, Elton John, is one of the most famous musicians of our time. With record sales of more than a quarter of a billion (that’s almost one record for every person in the US), John has done songs for movies (think The Lion King), was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his work, appointed a Commander to the Order of the British Empire, and received countless awards. So, what could this man ever do to prepare for a show or keep his cool? With the accolades and awards mentioned above, I would say his crowd should be more nervous than anything. However, Sir Elton John does get nervous and needs comforting things where ever he goes just like the rest of us. The funny thing is, he is more like us than we thought! See, not only does Elton John have a room full of bobbleheads but he takes some with him on the road. According to Ed Sheeran, friend of Elton John, ‘He takes nodding dog figures with him for his dressing room.’

We love this…I wonder if Sir Elton John knows that we do custom pet bobbleheads!? We would love to do one or five for him any day. Maybe the next time he is performing in the states we can hook him up. I mean if he is holding bobbleheads that near and dear to him, then we have a lot more in common than any of us knew! Well if his agent is reading this…send him our contact info so we can do a custom bobblehead of Elton and maybe his own pet!

Mike Trout Grab Tribute Bobblehead

admin

With baseball season upon us, we posted the MLB giveaways for April in hope that all of you baseball fans have a chance to plan for the game that will be giving away your favorite bobblehead of your team’s player.

Well, we had to write about the Los Angeles Angels bobblehead…it is in honor of Mike Trout’s amazing robbery of J.J. Hardy‘s (what would have been) home run hit. We can say that the catch was an amazing one and something you don’t see everyday. We can only think of really two other times such a grab was made…we are not saying that home runs are not robbed from players every year, just the level of physicality demonstrated by Trout…he must have gotten 10 feet of vertical air.

You tell us, here is the video:

Los Angeles Angels tribute bobblehead to Mike Trout.

The catch took place in 2012 at Camden Yards when the Baltimore Orioles were hosting the Angels. Some compared the catch to when Barry Bond’s was robbed of his home run by Torii Hunter. That may be a little extreme since that was an All-Star game versus a regular game, but who are we to judge?  After all, our specialty is custom bobbleheads not baseball. 🙂

Angels fan or not, we highly recommend you head out and pick up your tickets for this game. I can tell you this much, if I am in Los Angeles on April 13th, I will be first in line. Just look for the guy wearing the huge Mike Trout bobble head.

Pope Bobbleheads

admin

With the first papal resignation in 600 years,  bobbleheads of Pope Benedict are appearing for sale in Vatican City. According to this article, Rome souvenir vendors are carrying bobbleheads of the former pope.

Pope Benedict Bobblehead

Now this may offend some and others may be apt to purchase, but really why not? The pope is a figure head for a very large organization; some followers may rather a bobblehead versus a portrait.

If the pope wanted a custom bobblehead from us, we would be ecstatic!  Maybe the next pope might want to seek us out…
