On previous articles we've discussed how bobbleheads, particularly the personalized
bobblehead type have grow to be quite popular lately,
and we also elaborated on the subject of resemblance, and
also the elements that impact it.
In this post we take a step back and try to offer a quick recount of how bobbleheads came into pop culture, beginning using the appearance of vintage bobbleheads within the 1960s.
We will skip the bobbleheads produced in ancient
China and Japan merely since there's not enough recorded material to inform the
story with enough detail. It ought to nevertheless be mentioned that customized bobbleheads have existed for numerous
years.
So let's dive straight into the subject.
The 1960s produced the first bobblehead boom into pop culture.
This was a time when the Usa was seeing a distinct type of athlete seem inside the Baseball Scene.
Stars like Mickey Mantle created their look as well as the sport was larger
than ever.
It's not only baseball that utilized these bobbleheads to market the sport.
American football and ice hockey had been close followers also, and when produced, the editions generally covered all the teams
inside the professional leagues.
The teams that were covered in the first production run from the baseball league bobbleheads produced in 1961 and 1962 were: the
Anaheim Angels, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago
Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds,
Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Houston Colt 45's, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City
Athletics, Milwaukee Braves, Minnesota Twins, Mineapolis Twins, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, Pitsburg Pirates,
St Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants and ultimately the Washington Senators.
Not all these bobbleheads were made alike. For instance, specific teams had mascot bobbleheads, namely the
Orioles, the Cubs, the Reds, the Indians, the Tigers, the Braves,
the Pirates and also the Cardinals.
Of the long list of teams made, the rarest bobbleheads these days are considered to be those of the Anaheim
Angels, which have a paper label over the Los Angeles Decal, the Minneapolis Twins and also the boy from the Baltimore
Orioles.
Other curious details include the cowboy hats worn by
the bobbleheads in the Colt 45's and the Astros, the white or green base option from the Cleveland Indians and also the Detroit Tigers, and also
the dark or light uniform choice for the New York Mets
figurines.
To produce matters a lot more complicated, there were two separate series created simultaneously.
One of them is known because the mini series of baseball bobbleheads (by the way, the term bobbing head is a
lot more well-known in these vintage models) and also the other one is
know as the white base series.
Ultimately every team comes in two distinct variations, either holding a ball or perhaps a baseball bat.
These two series included the very first two professional baseball players to become represented as bobbleheads, Mickey Mantle and
Roger Maris, though all figurines truly looked the same and those of Mantle and Maris did not really resemble the players.
Aside from a head that bobbles, these vintage bobbleheads hold small similarity for the ones we see created right now.
For 1 point the material they were made of in the really beginning was truly paper mache.
The design was also substantially distinct. The body was made
with very little detail and in no athletic pose. It was rather more like a single block with some nuances around the limbs and although all of the physique models would look identical
just before painting, excellent care was
taken to accurately represent each and every team's uniform.
This partly explains why there are such avid collectors
chasing following them right now, and attempting to hold all bobblehead models.
The production approach meant that each and every bobblehead was almost certainly created, but definitely painted by hand.
The colors themselves usually contain a pearlescent finish and are often glossy.
This consists of the finish from the face, which combined with all the boyish appearance produced
a cherub-like outcome on most of them.
The lack of emphasis on the physique carving, and tiny
effort in accurately representing any individual star indicates that the focus back then was to market
the team, and offered that these bobbleheads had a magnet beneath the base, they have been sure to be proudly displayed on numerous vehicle dashboards back in those days.
And yes, dashboards were created of metal back then, in case
you were asking yourself!
Following the Mantle and Maris bobbleheads created, yet another two stars followed swiftly after, which
were Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays. Needless to say these bobbleheads
did not look much like Clemente or Mays either.
A single fast Google will reveal a handful of companies dedicated to catering towards the collector
of this kind of bobblehead. They are not all priced equally, using
the prices ranging from 15 USD for the all time record breaking 17,000 USD, which will be the subject
of a future article as we maintain discussing this brief history of bobbleheads.
