Bobblehead/Bobbletail #3
Name: Homer the Dragon
Position: Mascot
Team: Charlotte Knights
Description: 7.25 inches tall; wearing a Charlotte Knights uniform and
leaning on a bat. Homer is not only a bobblehead, but he also has a bobbling tail!
Relevance: I attended a Knights’ game on August 9th, 2007,
with Laura and our good friends Mike and Rhonda, who live in Charlotte. This bobblehead commemorates my visit to yet
another baseball park!
How Acquired: I won Homer the Dragon
from an auction on eBay.

| Check out the fur! |
Other Notes: The texture of Homer’s fur is pretty fantastic. This is not a cheaply done bobble, as the fur
is done with fine detail, which can’t be easy to create with a ceramic
mold.
The tail is
too much fun as it is capable of wagging or moving up & down. Homer is my only multi-bobbling-part
figurine, and that alone secures him a spot in my Top 5 Favorite Bobbleheads.
Bonus Note: Homer broke the record for most
hugs given by a mascot in a twenty-four span on May 24th,
2011. 5,615 lucky people helped Homer
enter the record books!

Can't wait to see the top 2 spots in the bobblehead countdown. Very cool
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the first bobbleheads where I feel the bobblehead looks WAY cooler than the actual mascot. Love this one.
ReplyDeleteHugely huggable Homer! Who knew? Mom
