On prior articles we've discussed how bobbleheads, especially the personalized type have turn out to be quite well-liked lately,
and we also elaborated on the topic of resemblance, and the elements that have an effect on it.
In this article we take a step back and attempt to offer
a brief recount of how bobbleheads came into pop culture, starting with the appearance of vintage bobbleheads
inside the 1960s. We are going to skip the bobbleheads produced
in ancient China and Japan simply simply because there is not adequate
recorded material to inform the story with enough detail.
It should nonetheless be mentioned that
customized bobbleheads have existed for numerous years.
So let's dive straight into the subject.
The 1960s developed the very first bobblehead boom into pop culture.
This was a time when the Usa was seeing a distinct type of athlete seem in the Baseball Scene.
Stars like Mickey Mantle produced their appearance
as well as the sport was larger than ever.
It is not only baseball that employed these bobbleheads to market the sport.
American football and ice hockey had been close followers also, and when created, the editions usually covered all the teams
within the professional leagues.
The teams that were covered inside the first production run in the baseball league bobbleheads created in 1961 and
1962 have been: 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 lastly
the Washington Senators.
Not all these bobbleheads were made alike. For example, certain 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 produced, the rarest bobbleheads today are deemed to become those from the Anaheim
Angels, which have a paper label over the Los Angeles Decal, the Minneapolis Twins as well as the boy from the Baltimore Orioles.
Other curious specifics include the cowboy hats worn by the bobbleheads from the Colt
45's and the Astros, the white or green base selection in the Cleveland Indians as well as the Detroit
Tigers, and the dark or light uniform choice for the New York Mets
figurines.
To make matters much more complicated, there had been two separate series created
simultaneously. 1 of them is known because the mini series of baseball bobbleheads (by the way, the term bobbing head is a lot more popular in these vintage models)
as well as the other a single is know because the white base series.
Finally each team comes in two different variations, either holding a
ball or perhaps a baseball bat.
These two series integrated the first two expert baseball players to become represented
as bobbleheads, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, even though all figurines really looked the identical and those of Mantle and Maris didn't
truly resemble the players.
Aside from a head that bobbles, these vintage bobbleheads hold little similarity for the ones we see produced today.
For one point the material they have been created of inside the very beginning was truly paper mache.
The design was also substantially different.
The body was produced with really small detail and in no athletic pose.
It was rather much more like a single block with some nuances around the limbs and
even though each of the physique models would look identical just before painting, great
care was taken to accurately represent each team's uniform.
This partly explains why you'll find such avid collectors chasing following them right now,
and attempting to hold all bobblehead models.
The production technique meant that every bobblehead was almost certainly made, but certainly painted by hand.
The colors themselves usually include a pearlescent finish
and are often glossy. This includes the finish of the face, which combined
with the boyish look made a cherub-like outcome on the majority of them.
The lack of emphasis around the body carving, and small effort in accurately representing any individual
star indicates that the focus back then was to market the team, and given that these
bobbleheads had a magnet below the base, they
had been certain to become proudly displayed on several automobile dashboards back in these days.
And yes, dashboards have been created of metal back then,
in case you have been wondering!
Following the Mantle and Maris bobbleheads developed, an additional two stars followed quickly after, which
have been Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays. Needless to say those bobbleheads did not look
much like Clemente or Mays either.
One quick Google will reveal a handful of companies dedicated to catering
for the collector of this kind of bobblehead. They are
not all priced equally, with the costs ranging from 15 USD for the all time record breaking 17,000 USD, which will be the subject of a future post as we preserve discussing this quick history of bobbleheads.
