Dodger Bobblehead News And Notes


Forever Collectibles has released two new Dodger bobbleheads, Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw. It's been a while since we've seen new Dodger bobbleheads from Forever. These bobbles are 8 inches tall and  have the normal sized heads. Both sell for $24.99 at Dodgers.com. I've never been a fan of the Forever bobbleheads but these are pretty damn nice. They both look a lot like Matt and Clayton.


The Dodgers have added a bobblehead to the promotional schedule. No, it's not another Dodger Stadium great. It's Hello Kitty. The Dodgers will be giving away Hello Kitty mini bobbleheads to the first 50,000 fans on Sunday, July 1. This is not the first time the team has had a Hello Kitty promotion. Last year they gave away Hello Kitty Plush dolls. I've added this bobblehead in the sidebar.


The Albuquerque Isotopes, AAA affiliate of the Dodgers, released their promotional schedule. They will be giving away three bobbles in 2012. Former player and coach Jason Wood gets the first bobblehead on May 28. The second will be a Green Chile Pepper bobblehead on August 19. The last one is an Isotopes bobble logo on September 3.




And finally, I just wanted share this great picture of Dodger legend Maury Wills posing with his upcoming bobblehead. This dual bobblehead of Maury and Don Drysdale will be given away on April 28 and is the first of ten Dodger Stadium Greats bobbleheads. You can see the list of all the others in my sidebar to the right.

  1. I'm not really huge fan of forever collectables either, I do have all of their world series bobbleheads starting from 2006 , sadly even the giants ones, but these are really cool and I gotta get them. Go dodgers!

    2. The only Forever bobbleheads I like are the Cooperstown ones, which happen to be the only ones that really worth anything to anyone. I had a chance to get the Dodgers Babe Ruth Forever Collectables bobblehead back at All Star Fanfest in Anaheim for $20. I didn't do it and now I kick myself for not buying it because they easily go for double that now on ebay. I do have a Shawn Green Forever bobblehead that I got for cheap and looks similar to the Cooperstown version. There's something about the bases and the size Forever uses on these newer bobbleheads that make them look real cheap, hence why I don't like buying them.

    3. I love that Babe Ruth bobblehead. I've bid on it a couple times with no success.

  2. I'm warming up to Forever bobbles. They have improved on the likenesses over the years and have released some pretty cool bobbles. Those Dodger ones are nice. I can't wait to see the Yankee ones for this season.
