Custom Bobblehead Blog

It has to be emphasized first of all that a bobblehead has to represent a person or character of a certain organization. Thus, if you are looking for a sport bobblehead figure to have mass produced, that sport bobblehead has to have some kind of significance to you and to anyone who will be the recipient.

Take, for instance, a sport bobblehead modeled after Hideki Matsui (a baseball player with the New York Yankees) – the value of the official sport bobblehead is that it comes as a Limited Edition product, meaning there are only a few of them made at one time so that the uniqueness and exclusivity of the product is retained. A sport bobblehead made by the millions has less uniqueness and maybe no exclusivity compared to a sport bobblehead under a Limited Edition manufacturing license.

This is where the concept of a collectible sport bobblehead comes in. A sport bobblehead that is made in a limited volume (like, say 500 items only for that type of bobblehead) is deemed more collectible (or has a higher value as a collectible) compared to a sport bobblehead that has been made by the millions. Even if the quality of manufacture is comparable or even exactly the same, it is the uniqueness and exclusivity of the sport bobblehead that will determine if it is a true collectible or not. And the value of a collectible lies with the perception of a person doing the collecting. A person who values one sport bobblehead of Michael Jordan will pay a good price for it even if that edition was made by the millions simply because the collector thinks that sport bobblehead has a good value for him.

Does a sport bobblehead have to be highly expensive to be highly valued? Not at the start, no. For instance, if you bought your Michael Jordan sport bobblehead back in year 1990 when it was priced at $19.00 but nowadays (due to the scarcity of Michael Jordan sport bobbleheads) is priced at $100 each, you may observe that the rise in financial value of your bobblehead was due to the lower supply at present, the rise in perceived value of that bobblehead version among collectors, and the fact that Michael Jordan is no longer as active a player as he used to be. There is a saying that for memorabilia of celebrities to go up in value, it helps if the celebrity in question were to die. Though we don’t necessarily want Michael Jordan to die yet, if he does pass away soon, rest assured practically all sport bobblehead items out there made in his likeness will shoot up in value real quick.

In sports, your value as a player rests a lot on your performance per season. But there may be players who are not so scintillating yet still remain quite popular among their fans anyway. For such players, the love of their fans will keep their memory alive even when their performance has left them on the reserved players bench for the rest of the season.

There are bobbleheads and then there are Bobbleheads from CustomBobble.com.

If you happen to think of bobbleheads as those cute little plastic figurines with heads that bob up and down that you get from your favorite cereal box, then those are not what we’re talking about. They are cute, true, but nowhere near the artistry of the bobbleheads in CustomBobble.com.

CustomBobble.com is not just a factory of bobbleheads. It is a company made up of a team of artisans who take great care in assuring at least a 70% accuracy for the bobbleheads they create.

You could also create a business opportunity for yourself through CustomBobble.com’s services.

Bobbleheads have a high appeal for collectors and for pet owners. Collectors always want to have one more figurine of what they are collecting, while some pet owners are just so rabid to have the likeness of their pets captured everywhere. From plates to keychains, to bobbleheads, these guys would surely snap up another likeness of their idols or pets. What would stop you from selling to them what they would want, even if it’s in the form of a bobblehead?

Bobbleheads are not just for kids. With the artistry and the care put into the bobbleheads of CustomBobble.com, you would be sure to get only the best and the most detailed and artistic bobbleheads from these sculptors.

So what are you waiting for? Have a bobblehead made for only you now!

CustomBobble.com positions its bobbleheads as keepsakes, mementoes and ways to remember loved ones and beloved pets by. But if you’re a geek, would you think that you have some use for a bobblehead, after all?

For Star Wars freaks, you may want a replica of Luke Skywalker. Or Darth Vader. Or Chewbacca. Or Yoda. Or maybe you’re not a Star Wars freak, you’re a Lord of the Rings freak, and you would love a replica of Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, or even… Sam Gamgee.

If you are not a geek, you may go “What?! What would you need a bobblehead of Yoda for?!” Well, the principle is simple. If you are one of those who are just squirrels for collecting the likenesses of your favorite characters, it’s not so inconceivable to actually have a shelf filled of Yoda’s in all shapes and forms.

If you are one of those who had been waiting for a certain figurine of your favorite character, but was unfortunate to have found out that the stores ran out of stock of those and those were of the limited edition, should you panic? No! All you need to do is hop on over to CustomBobble.com and submit a picture of that figurine, and have their expert artisans craft a remarkable replica of that hard-to-find item that you had been dying to get.

CustomBobble.com’s bobbleheads are more than the usual dolls and replicas. These bobbleheads are hand-crafted by expert artisans who want nothing less than a 70% accurate likeness of the photos you send them. So if it’s Yoda you’re asking to be crafted, it’ll be Yoda you’ll get. Not Darth Maul.

For those who had been wanting, needing, salivating over that certain replica of their favorite characters, this is somewhat of a “new lease on life,” so to speak. If you didn’t win that Ebay auction of Darth Vader’s 10-inch figurine by a matter of 50 cents, then it’s your chance to get back at that bad person who snatched up the object of your obsessions. You weren’t able to have that one on Ebay? Then get one made specifically for you through CustomBobble.com! Besides, that one on Ebay may have been a used item! This one will be lovingly created just for you.

If you want to take geekiness to a different level, you could also have replicas of your favorite tech industry icon created just for you. Maybe you want a bobblehead of you being hugged or kissed by Steve Jobs. If you’re a girl and you like Steve Jobs that much, ain’t that a great thought? If you’re a guy… That’s just gross. Or maybe you would want a replica of Steve Jobs’ main man and über-designer Jonathan Ive. If you can’t steal him from his wife, at least you have a bobblehead of him on your nightstand.

As a geek, you won’t run out of ideas for new bobbleheads to be ordered. If you are on a quest to have that one collectible you missed getting, or you so desperately want a figurine of Steve Jobs or Jonathan Ive, Linus Torvalds of Linux, Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu Linux, or even of Bill Gates or, heaven forbid, Steve Ballmer, then hop on over to CustomBobble.com and feed your inner geek’s hunger. You won’t lack for ideas on what else to order.

If you order in bulk, there are special discounts! So complete the entire Star Wars or Lord of the Rings cast and crew, or you could go for the complete lineup of today’s tech greats! Hop on over to CustomBobble.com now!

Animal lovers love their pets so much that they usually go to such lengths as having clothes made for their pooch or cat, having porcelain figurine replicas of their pets cast and displayed on mantelpieces, having plates painted or engraved with their pets’ faces or entire figures.

But if you would want something more interactive, something with a movable body, you may want to try having a bobblehead of your pet created just for you!
 
Through CustomBobble.com, you can have the likeness of your pet in as soon as two weeks!

At CustomBobble.com, all the bobbleheads are hand-crafted, hand-painted by especially skilled artists who take great care in capturing the likeness of your pet to the very detail of the angle of its fur.

All you need to do is to logon to CustomBobble.com, upload a picture of your pet, and your order will be processed. Once the model bobble for your pet has been created, a picture of the sample bobblehead will be sent to you through email. You can then suggest changes or improvements to the sample bobblehead.

When you’ve approved the sample bobblehead, it will then be set in the oven, much like a setting a clay pot, and then it will be sent to you through FedEx. Simple, right?

CustomBobble.com boasts of a 70% accuracy of its figures. Meaning these bobbleheads that you would order are as similar to the original by as much as 70%. But judging from the picture comparisons between the originals and the bobbleheads on the website, the likeness is actually extraordinary.

Maybe when you’re satisfied with a bobblehead of your favorite pet, you would then want a bobblehead of your children, your favorite American Idol, or even of your special someone or husband!

Bobbleheads are great for cake decoration, for giveaways, as collectibles, or even as playthings for your children.

A quirky suggestion for how you could maximize the use of your bobblehead would be for you to actually use it as a voodoo doll, but then that’s too creepy now, isn’t it?

Bobbleheads are not just for pets, for lovers, CustomBobble.com also has bobblehead figures that feature couples, or even entire families! The prices range from USD $79 for an individual, generic bobblehead, to $119 for a pet bobblehead, to $199 for bobbleheads of a couple, and even $299 for a family of bobbleheads.

Bobbleheads have touched pet owners’ hearts in that some have had their pets “resurrected” through having a bobblehead made of their deceased pets.

Maybe you could have your human loved ones immortalized as bobbleheads, so that when they’re gone you have something to remember them by, but then that would just be too creepy.

Bobbleheads are meant to be souvenirs, mementoes, and milestone reminders. Though it may seem frivolous for some to spend money on a bobblehead, but if the situation is pretty special, like the 15th birthday of your cat, why not, right?

Hop on over to CustomBobble.com to get the likeness of your cat now!

Bobbleheads are those adorable dolls with movable heads that bob up and down. For people who like collecting toys, these are a delight, and these are one of the most-collected kinds of dolls.

There are bobbleheads that are made to look like famous personalities, bobbleheads of animals, but there are also bobbleheads that could be made to… Look like you.

If you have a narcissistic streak and you like the thought that a doll would look like you, then you might want to consider having a fleet of bobbleheads of you and your beloved, made for you to give away on your wedding day! Or you can order just one of yourself and have it displayed on your nightstand.

Bobbleheads are not just good for exercising your narcissistic side, they’re basically fun, collectible items that are such a delight, in general. Kids just love watching their heads bob up and down, and baseball stars and other bobblehead replicas of famous people used to be sought-after as collectors’ items.

Bobbleheads are fun to place on a car’s dashboard. Just seeing a bobblehead’s head bob up and down is sure to evoke giggles from the car’s riders.

The first bobblehead made its appearance in the 1950’s. They were the rage in the 1960’s to the 1970’s, but they lost their appeal in the latter years.

If the thought of collecting, or even just owning a bobbing-head doll that looks eerily like you isn’t a very happy thought, then what about the thought of owning a bobbing-head doll that looks like your loved one? It would still be no less creepy to see a bobblehead version of your boyfriend or girlfriend, but wouldn’t it be nice if you had a doll that reminds you of him or her?

Or what about you and your boyfriend each get a customized bobblehead, and you get the bobblehead that looks like him, and he gets the bobblehead replica of you? Wouldn’t that be a sweet thought? Albeit a creepy-eerie-sweet thought.

You can also have bobbleheads of your entire family created for you. They would be great to display on a coffee table, on the mantel, for you and your family to communicate to your visitors how proud you are of each other. Makes you feel like the Brady Bunch, but it actually could boost the loyalty and solidarity of your family.

On the other hand, if you are a cat lover, you could get a bobblehead replica of your favorite feline. If you have to keep her in a cage because she seems like she’s brainwashed that she’s a wild lynx and you’re choice prey… Or dead meat, then a bobblehead replica of your beloved, but currently insane, feline friend could keep you company while you put your cat in isolation till she calms down.

There is no limit to how you could integrate a customized bobblehead in your life. All it takes is creativity… And CustomBobble.com.

What is a bobblehead anyway? Actually, you are probably very familiar with bobbleheads which is a type of toy that has a head that bobbles or wobbles on a spring connected to the body of the toy. This type of collectible also goes by other names which are wobbler, noddler, and bobbing head doll. You have probably seen a lot of these bobblehead toys on cars – particularly on the dashboard – where the slightest movement of the car will make the bobblehead wobble on its spring. The toys are glued or screwed into the surface they rest on so that they don’t fall off.

One use of bobblehead collectible items are for promotional purposes of different organizations, like by sporting events organizers. The modern type of bobblehead first made its public appearance back in the 1950s. In fact, one very famous type of bobblehead collectible series cropped up in the 1950s which was the Beatles collection. Bobblehead collecting was a craze until the 1970s when the trend seemed to taper off.

Though bobblehead collecting became less urgent for some time, once bobblehead manufacturing became less expensive to pursue with the switch to use of plastic as raw material, more bobbleheads were produced of varying types and bobblehead collecting became fashionable again. A key feature of modern bobbleheads is that the head of the toy is usually much bigger than the torso and other body parts which makes bobblehead toys stand out.

If you are mad about bobblehead collecting, you may want to know more about the background of the bobblehead toy series you are purchasing so that you become a true-blue bobblehead aficionado.
