Collectors clamor for Ronald Reagan Bobbleheads

Executives at Bosley Bobbers were unsure what to expect when former President Ronald Reagan died June 5. 

The Canton, Ohio-based company sells a variety of political bobblehead dolls. But this was the first time the inspiration for one of its creations had died. 

By Tuesday afternoon, they had their answer. 

"We're completely sold out of them," says Toby Bosley, the company's vice president. 

If not having a shot at a nodding likeness of the "great communicator" leaves you wistful, don't fear -- just visit online auction site eBay.com where about 20 Reagan bobbleheads, along with more than 6,000 other Reagan-related items, are being auctioned to the highest bidder. 

Call it trickle-down economics.

Bobbleheads Tidbit… 
"Mainly Mozart" Festival is Back with Bobbleheads


The " Mainly Mozart" hats, shirts and tote bags are for sale again. So are the Mozart candies. There are even Mozart bobblehead dolls, new this year and costing $20 apiece. 

It can mean only one thing: San Diego's Mainly Mozart Festival had returned for the summer. 

A sold-out chamber music concert at La Jolla's Neurosciences Institute launched the opening of the festival's 16th season. And Mainly Mozart is so secure in its status that it can poke gentle fun at Mozart by selling silly bobbleheads

Bobbleheads Tidbit… Detroit Pistons Locker Room Bobbleheads

It’s always interesting to check out the extent of decoration that players exhibit in their home locker rooms. 

The Pistons are pretty low-key, with most of the guys just stacking the bobblehead giveaways on the upper shelves of their lockers. Darko Milicic has the biggest collection of bobbleheads, seemingly with every giveaway this season crammed on his shelf. 

Sometimes Ben Wallace gets in a funny mood, reaching over to next-door neighbor Milicic’s locker to make the talking Chauncey Billups bobblehead say something.

Bobbleheads Tidbit… Bobblehead video mocks Bush Administration

The wisenheimers at Mighty Fudge Studios have released their latest assault on the Bush administration. 

The first installment of The Bobbleheads is more music video than cartoon, with the bobbling heads of Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld bopping to the Temptations' "I Can't Get Next to You." (Rummy "can build a castle from a single grain of sand," while Condy "can live forever if I so desired.") Watching the commotion are the stoic visages of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson -- all atop Mount Rushmore.

"You remember The Muppet Show?" asks Mighty Fudge founder Peter Mallek. "The two old grumpy characters sitting up in the balcony? Well, we're kind of doing that with the Mount Rushmore characters. They're going to talk and give their commentary on the Bush administration. The stone faces of our founding fathers against the bobbling heads of the current administration. The whole thing is silly." 

Right now, Mallek's focusing on getting the next Bobblehead episode finished. "The Incredible Shrinking President" will take viewers inside the White House War Room for a dissection of Bush's falling poll numbers; the piece will probably feature Rice, since she's a popular figure with the four writers Mallek has on contract.

Bobbleheads Tidbit…  Life Size Bobblehead of Pistons' Ben Wallace...
The Detroit Pistons unveiling a life-sized, 6-foot-9 Ben Wallace bobblehead in the Atrium to guard the Palace. 

The bobblehead, stationed outside the Palace Locker Room store, weighs 275 pounds, 35 more than the real-life Wallace. It has corn-rows and arm tattoos just like the real Ben, and its head actually bobbles. 

It was made by Forever Collectibles, which has done similar versions of the L.A. Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal, the Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson and Houston Rockets big-man Yao Ming. If you're shopping, the Pistons say the Lakers sold six life-sized Shaq bobbleheads -- for $27,000 each.
