Ohtani bobblehead

[TroutBaseball]

This is nuts. Tonight there was a free Ohtani bobblehead at the Dodgers game. There was a massive line 3 hours before the gates opened and the eBay auctions are already approaching $1200!

By comparison, the Ohtani Angels bobbleheads sell between $50-$240.

 

There is a VERY sought after Bo Jackson bobblehead breaking a bat over his head. It's hard to find a seller and it will sell for about $300. I'm probably in the top 1% of bobblehead collectors in the country and I can't justify that expense for the Jackson bobblehead (and I really want it).

The Dodgers are going to have security issues the next time they have an Ohtani bobblehead if they are literally handing out items that people think they can get a thousand dollars for.

[Jay]

LOL at charging $8.95 shipping on a $1200 bobblehead.

Tell us more. How many do you own? What is your favorite? Any unique ones?

It sounds like this one is one of only 700 they made in the “road gray” uniform.  Thats why the seller is charging more for it.  I’m surprised the guy/gal who got this bobblehead actually made it out of the stadium alive.

I only know this because I just saw the story on the news this morning.

I have never paid for a bobblehead in my life. I've gotten them as gifts or promotions at the stadium when honestly I didn't even know it was the player's bobblehead night. lol

 

[Chuck]

Here’s mine. I’ve gotten a bunch of these from FOCO USA for promoting their bobbleheads on here and X. 

Looking forward to getting the Nolan Ryan one though.

[CaliAngel]

Good for them, I'd sell it too. 

I couldn't care less about bobbleheads. If I go to the stadium and they're handing them out I usually just tell them no or I take one and give it to someone who wants two.

Pretty much consider them junk that just ends up in the landfill LOL

I have a bunch of Ohtani bobbleheads. I’m about to paint a Dodger uniform on them and sell them for a lot of money. Dumbass Dodger fans won’t know the difference.

I have every bobblehead given away at Angel Stadium.  You can see the full list here
https://www.trout.la/complete-list-of-angel-stadium-bobbleheads/

 

I also have most of Trout's minor league bobbleheads as well (the main exception being the SL Bees). I have a few KC Royals and a few others as well. 86 unique bobbleheads in total.  There are people who own hundreds, so I'm by no means saying I've got one THE best collections in the world. Considering most people have something like Chuck's set, and I've got a full set from one team, I'm in a different collecting class than most.

 

My favorites are Trout's Wall catch, Bo Jackson wall run, and CJ Wilson's leg kick.

Other than a ton of Angels bobbleheads, I also have a David Eckstein (Padres), Brandon Webb (D-Backs) and a Long Beach State - Jered Weaver bobblehead.  I have a Dallas McPherson minor league bobblehead too.

I have that Eckstein one too. I may have lost the bat though. It’s in a box somewhere.

I had a Mariners Edgar Martinez bobblehead I got when I went to Seattle for my bachelorette party… I think I threw it away though.

I was there that same night. I gave mine to a co-worker when I worked at DocuSign in Seattle who was a big M's fan.

I had the Brandon Webb Cy Young bobblehead. I probably got it when the Angels played there. Did you see Gary Matthew’s Jr steal home?
