Kids Bobblehead

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE BOBBLEHEAD DOLLS AS GIFTS?

If you watch the NBC television sitcom The Office, you're probably familiar with the concept of bobblehead dolls as gifts. Dwight Schrute's infatuation with miniature representations of himself is not uncommon; bobblehead dolls are becoming increasingly popular as inexpensive yet entertaining gifts.

The appeal of Bobblehead Dolls

Bobblehead dolls can be personalized online or issued by institutions to commemorate a particular event, sports milestone, player, or mascot. The more popular the subject, the more celebrated and valuable the bobblehead will become. For example, if a bobblehead commemorates a player's induction into the Hall of Fame, it would command a high price in the market. There may also be bobblehead dolls that function as souvenirs, such as personally autographed dolls by athletes.

A Short History of Bobblehead Dolls

The current generation of bobblehead dolls dates back to the 1800s. The Russian short novella "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol is thought to be the earliest formal account of bobblehead dolls. Gogol described the essential character Akaky's neck as "like the necks of plaster cats which wag their heads."

The concept gained popularity in numerous European and North American countries, particularly in the United States during the 1960s, thanks to Major League Baseball. After the 1970s, interest in bobblehead dolls waned slightly, but the trend resumed with the turn of the millennium.

Today, bobblehead dolls are famous in baseball stadiums, with several teams offering them as merchandising. People spend fortunes collecting them. In 2014, a Yankee Bobblehead doll in 1961 sold for $60,000 at an auction.

Why Bobblehead Dolls Are Great as Gifts

Bobblehead dolls make excellent gifts for friends, partners, bosses, and yourself. 

Customization

Bobblehead dolls are generated using the photographs you provide. You can upload photos of the person you want to gift and then select from over 1,000 postures to position them. Within five or six weeks, you'll have a customized bobblehead that looks exactly like the person you're giving the present to.

Personal Satisfaction

People like Dwight Schrute from The Office enjoy looking at smaller copies of themselves on occasion. Many people maintain bobbleheads of themselves at work. If you know someone with this preference, bobblehead dolls would make an excellent gift.

Inexpensive

Bobblehead dolls are incredibly inexpensive. You can easily acquire one for as little as $50. So, if you want to give someone something unique and worthwhile but don't want to spend much money, a bobblehead doll could be the perfect gift.

Collectors

There is a vast global community dedicated to bobblehead collections. Every time a sports club distributes bobblehead dolls, a massive frenzy ensues. Although homemade bobblehead dolls are often inexpensive, rare and valuable bobbleheads can cost up to four figures.

If you know someone who likes bobbleheads, you can support their pastime by purchasing a valuable bobblehead to add to their recognized collection.  

Tips for Custom Bobbleheads Online

Starting to make your own customized bobblehead is quite simple. Just send your pictures. But how can you manage the specifics and create a bespoke bobblehead online? The following advice will make it easier for you.

1. Body Type

Body type refers to the kind of body you are interested in. There are typically two choices: Standard Body and Fully Custom. In essence, a fully customized bobblehead is a blank one that you may completely customize. Bobbleheads with standard bodies are based on a specific model. From the supplier's websites, you can select a particular model from a variety of themes.

2. Size and Use

The bobblehead is often 6 inches, 7 inches, or 9 inches in size. Select your preferred size; if you would want a bespoke size, please get in touch with us. The 7in and 9in are suggested for gifts, while the 6in is suitable for a wedding cake topper.

3. Head Bobble

It is also possible to make a bobblehead or a stationary head. While the former looks good, the latter is amusing. Online vendors always charge a little extra for bobbleheads.

4. Props/Accessories

What accessories or props are you looking for? Accessories include hats, spectacles, tattoos, handheld items, and much more, while props include vehicles, furniture, and other large objects. Most providers charge for both, but Bobblecustom typically gives away its accessories for free.

5. Base and Material

Pick the appropriate base. A bobblehead is located at the base. The base is already included in the initial price, but you will be charged more if you like to customize the base, add more items, or write some text. You should check with the supplier. It costs nothing to write some text on the base for Bobblecustom.

While most bobbleheads are constructed of ceramic, plastic, or resin, ours is composed of soft clay, which is pliable and long-lasting.

6. Proofing and Revisions

The majority of businesses provide proofing and revision during the custom-made phase. It is actually up to you to approve or request changes to the custom bobblehead. Provide the information and stay in contact with the business. For them to process your bobblehead step-by-step in a short amount of time, especially if you are in the fastest sculpting phase, you must respond promptly.

Please be aware that you will no longer be able to request adjustments once the bobblehead has been assembled and baked.

7. Time and Shipping

Custom bobblehead dolls are truly time-consuming to make because they are hand-crafted by artists; the quickest sculpting time is typically 3-5 working days, and the custom made usually takes 10-15 working days to complete. This depends on the supplier and the complexity of the bobblehead; most suppliers offer standard and expedited shipping, which they will typically tell you on their website. Therefore, consider the specific time you need the bobblehead to choose a plan that works for you; if you are unsure, it is best to check with customer service.

Most importantly, you truly understood how to process a personalized bobblehead online.

4 Steps to make my bobblehead doll

Have you ever wished to funnily and creatively capture a special moment? One excellent method to accomplish it is by making your personalized bobblehead! You may create a customized bobblehead that will make you grin every time you see it with a few easy steps.

1. Choose Your Style

The possibilities are unlimited, whether you're looking for a handcrafted bobblehead with your favorite pet on it, a fully personalized bobblehead for your kid, or a customized bobblehead for you and your partner. Choose the look that best reflects your personality and vision.

2. Gather Your Materials

To get started, you'll need some basic materials, such as paint, varnish, sculpting tools, and polymer clay. These supplies are readily available online or at your neighborhood craft store. Establish a specific area for your job where you can be creative.

3. Create Your Design

To start:

  1. Shape the clay into the shape you choose for your bobblehead.
  2. Make sure all the details are perfect by taking your time.
  3. If you are happy with the final appearance, allow the clay to fully dry before proceeding to the painting stage.
  4. Make your bobblehead come to life by using bright colors.

4. Add the Finishing Touches

Once the paint has dried, apply a layer of varnish to give your product a shiny appearance and protection. This will ensure that your bobblehead lasts for many years. After the varnish dries, fasten the bobblehead to its base and put it on display in your house or place of business.

Making your bobblehead is an enjoyable and fulfilling experience that lets you show off your artistic side and create something unique. A personalized bobblehead will make everyone smile and laugh, whether you're making it for yourself or as a present for a particular someone.

Closing Thoughts

Bobblehead dolls have withstood the changing moods of the Pop Culture generation to remain fan favorites for quite some time. So, if you're looking for a simple, affordable gift to make someone's day, bobblehead dolls are a great option.
