One of the most popular souvenir items is the bobble head doll. Some people know it as a wobbler, a nodder or a bobbing head toy. It got its name from it distinction with other dolls. From the name itself, bobble head dolls are characterized by having a small body compared to its head. The head is attached to a spring and when it is tapped or moved even a little, the head then nods or bobbles. It is like the plaster cats you see on Chinese stores which wag their head when slightly moved. So who created it and how did it become popular? The modern bobble head was first introduced during the 1950’s.
Baseball event organizers have produced a bobble head toy series made of paper-mache and this is where people have started to buy it. Great baseball players during that time had their own nodder head version such as Roger Maris, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente and many more. Another most sought after bobble head collection was of the Beatles. The band had a lot of fans and the bobble head dolls have sold out a lot of numbers. The wobbler fanatics from all over the world would want to have it. But there had been a transition in the use of materials for its manufacture. Some used wood and ceramic after a decade but still, the expenses of making it is still quite high so manufacturers sought of another way to make it less expensive. This is where the plastic bobble head toys came in.
The resurgence of wobbler dolls have been sought again. Popular stars, cartoon characters, basketball and football players have their miniature bobble head figures already. And some of it, made in limited numbers to be sought after by collectors. Nodder giveaways are still widely produced today. Sport event organizers see to it that they have wobbler versions of their greatest players and food chains such as McDonalds had their bobble head souvenir back then. Disney characters and movie stars have their nodding head dolls too. Collectors look for these rare finds on eBay and on vintage shops.
Some politicians even have a nodder doll giveaway as a form of political advertisement. Aside from that, these dolls are also used as a design for made-to-order trophies and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. These bobble head toys are also ideal as a gift item for children and guys who have a huge fan on games such as soccer or baseball.
