Bobbleheads are a staple of American collecting culture. Baseball teams give them out to fans each and every season, we get bobbleheads of presidential candidates, and you can even get yourself custom made into bobblehead form. We’ve got a Bobblehead Hall of Fame, too, which really only makes sense at this point.
So it’s a big thing to get some world-record-breaking news when it comes to our beloved bobbleheads.
The New Home of the Biggest Bobblehead in the World
Now, if you’re a fan of bargain hunting, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, a chain of stores where you can find just about anything at a deeply discounted price. The store just celebrated its 40th anniversary, and it has something else to celebrate as well: The flagship store in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is now home to the world’s largest bobblehead.
According to Ollie’s, “the fully functioning bobblehead is an oversized replica of Ollie, our beloved mascot, and stands over 16 feet tall!”
Terrifying? Probably to some! But this giant bobblehead is also incredibly cool, and another step forward in the evolution of bobblehead technology. Perhaps someday, when human civilization has been reduced to ash due to our hubris, we will have one shred of evidence left standing, something for an alien species to discover when it visits our barren wasteland of a planet.
Let us pray that it is the 16-foot-tall Ollie’s bobblehead.
