Bernie Is Back At The Bobblehead Hall

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled four new Bernie Sanders Inauguration Day Mittens Bobbleheads on Friday. Following the extremely popular original Inauguration Day Bobblehead, the Hall is releasing a standing version as well as the sitting version as an ornament, dashboard mini, and Mantle Mate.

To date, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has sold nearly 30,000 of the original Bernie Sanders Inauguration Day Bobbleheads, making it the second best-selling bobblehead behind the original Dr. Anthony Fauci Bobblehead. The bobblehead of Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the 102-year-old basketball team chaplain at Loyola University Chicago, was the top-seller before the Dr. Fauci and Bernie Sanders bobbleheads.  The success of the original bobblehead led to a $10,000 donation to Meals on Wheels Vermont.

The new bobbleheads, which all just arrived and ship now, are available exclusively from the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and are detailed below:

  • Ornament ($20) – The original bobblehead turned into a four-inch ornament that bobbles.
  • Dashboard Mini ($20) – This four-inch version of the original version is perfect for the dashboard of a car.
  • Standing ($25) – Prior to finding his seat at the inauguration ceremony, Bernie was captured walking down the stairs holding an envelope and what appeared to be a check while wearing the viral mittens. That moment is now captured in bobblehead form as well.
  • Mantle Mate ($25) – This version sits perfectly on any table, mantle, desk, shelf.
  • A limited number of the original bobblehead are available in the Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store for $25.

The original Bernie Sanders Inauguration Day Bobblehead commemorates the viral moment when Sanders was pictured watching the Inauguration ceremony to swear in Joe Biden as the nation’s 46th President. The bobblehead features a masked Sanders, wearing a jacket and mittens, sitting on a folding chair with his legs crossed on a white podium base.

“It’s been fun to see how much people have enjoyed the original Bernie Sanders Inauguration Day Mittens Bobblehead and when we started receiving requests for additional versions, we got to work,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “We think people will really enjoy these new bobbleheads featuring the viral moments.”

My name is Kevin Czerwinski and I am a sportswriter/college professor in New York. I have been collecting bobbleheads for nearly 20 years and have recently become more involved in online chats, swap groups and raffles for bobbleheads. I primarily collect baseball but enjoy talking about and seeing new nodders.
