Charlie Sheen Has His Own Bobblehead Doll

That's right, Charlie Sheen has his own bobblehead doll. The doll is endorsed by the man himself and was produced by non other than bobblehead giants at Funko. It sports him wearing a t-shirt with a printing of one of his famous rants; "Duh, Winning." He's also holding a cigarette in one hand, and a beer can in the other. What I find especially funny is the beer can. Printed on the beer can are the words "Charlie Sheen's Winning" with a picture of his head below the wording. Despite his precarious lifestyle of substance abuse and various legal issues, Sheen still manages to be one of the hottest media topics to date. In fact,

Did you know:

In 2011, Sheen set a new Guinness World Record for Twitter as the "Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Followers" (adding an average of 129,000 new followers per day) as well as the Guinness record for "Highest Paid TV Actor Per Episode – Current" at $1.25 million while he was a part of the cast of Two and a Half Men sitcom. On March 3, 2011, Charlie Sheen signed with Ad.ly marketing agency specializing in Twitter and Facebook promotions.



Yes, he's been permanently replaced from the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men, but that's not the last that we've seen of him. He's has now taken a big pay cut to return to a TV sitcom appropriately titled Anger Management. And oh yes, let's not forget, he has his own bobblehead. If your a Charlie Sheen fan, this bobblehead doll is for you.

Did I also mention that he talks? It speaks five different rants when his head bobbles. You can find it here.


"I… I… I am on a drug; it's called 'Charlie Sheen'!"

MLB Bobblehead Pros Hits Xbox 360



Bobbleheads have officially entered the world of gaming! Now you don't have to wait until the big game to have your very own bobblehead of your favorite team player. This is definately something I just had to post.

MLB Bobblehead Pros
MLB Bobblehead Pros, as described by the ESRB, is a "baseball simulation game in which players compete using 'bobblehead doll' versions of real major league players." Hard core baseball fans are sure to enjoy this game as it features all MLB teams with an old-school arcade type feel sporting simple controls. Team members are closely designed to resemble their real life counterparts and feature fluid animations and HD graphics. And just how well does the game reperesent our beloved bobbleheads? Each player sports a legless frame with an oversized spring-loaded wobbly head. How funny is it to be up at bat, focused on knocking that ball out of the park yet your head is bouncing and wobbling all over the place! Even the spectators have oversized heads.



If your a true sports enthusiast, love bobbleheads or collect them (we certainly love em') and are looking for some laughs, this game is for you. It's an awesome game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This game is currently available as a download in Xbox Marketplace (Xbox Live) as either a free demo or a full download for 800 credits. Check out their website if you don't know how the Xbox Marketplace works.




The kids will love it. Even grown kids such as myself will enjoy this game. Yeah, I'm having way too much fun with this game right now. I'd better put it down or I'll never get any work done.

The Bobblehead Revealed

Bobbleheads are back and as popular as ever. The earliest known bobblehead ever to be created was in 1842, and the modern day bobblehead appeared in the 1950's. Bobbleheads have existed ever since and today, they are as popular as ever. Many Americans have dressed their desks at work with these head wobbling statues. Usually a conversation piece emerges from the workplace when displayed.

Bobbleheads are often referred to as:
  • Head Nodders
  • Head Knockers
  • Bobbing Head Dolls
  • or Wobblers

Many variations of Bobbleheads have spawned including:

Bobble Breeze are miniature Bobbleheads that double as air freshners.  Computer Sitter Bobblers are miniature bobbleheads that literally sit on top of your computer monitor.

Many Major League Baseball teams and other sports teams give bobbleheads away at their games as a means of promotion. Sponsors create these bobbleheads and most are manufactured exclusively for these events.

The list of bobblehead manufacturers continues to grow every year. The entertainment world offers many themes that have been licensed for bobblehead manufacturers. From
