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.

Tommy Lasorda Dukes Bobblehead

Evan, over at New Mexico Fan, the number one source for all things Albuquerque Isotopes, gives us the first look at the Tommy Lasorda bobblehead giveaway. Presented by Raylee Homes this bobblehead will be given away to the first 3,000 fans on Saturday, July 17.

From New Mexico Fan:

Mark Saturday July 17, on your calenders. That's when the Tommy Lasorda bobblehead will be given away at Isotopes Park.

It Is also Dukes retro night so dig up your Duke jersey and cap and head out to Isotopes park.

On the same night the Albuquerque baseball hall of fame will enshrine four members. Former Dukes outfielder Joe Simpson, infielder Jack Perconte, General Manager Charlie Blaney, and broadcaster Mike Roberts.

The bobblehead has Tommy dressed in an old Albuquerque Dukes uniform. Skinny Tommy in a yellow uniform with red cap is something different. I love it.

Thank you Evan for the pictures. Check out New Mexico Fan here.
