Paul Molitor Bobblehead Doll day! (http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/min/schedule/schedule_promotions2004.jsp) Presented by Hormel, who also makes Spam. There's a joke in there somewhere.
No idea whether I'll actually be there - probably not, though, because it's an hour-and-a-half drive, and I'd need to be there by about 6 AM to have a reasonable shot at getting one. It would be nice for my Kirby Puckett and Harmon Killebrew bobbleheads to have some company, though.
Anyone going should snap a pic and I'll put it on the Media Page (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/media.shtml)
May 22nd in Oakand is Reggie Jackson Collectible Figurine giveaway day and Reggie Jackson day.
The next day, the 23rd, is Reggie Jackson bobblehead day.

I wonder how many RBIers have bobble heads?
Would you want a picture of my Puckett bobblehead? My aunt has a Blyleven, too, but that'd have to wait until the next time I'm in St. Paul. She actually has almost a complete Twins bobblehead collection - until last year, the only one she'd missed in three years was Hrbek (he, Puckett, and Blyleven are the only RBI Twins to get bobbleheads so far; I could see perhaps Gaetti, Viola, and/or Gagne happening in the future, however).
Absolutely, post any pics you have... Perhaps someone needs to be an official RBI Bobblehead Collector
I own the Mike Schmidt bobblehead. I may include it as well.
I have a Vlade Divac Starting Lineup 'collectible'...
I used to have both Puckett and Viola Starting Lineup figures (also Ryno and Mitch Williams). I think I gave Puckett to my brother, Viola's foot broke off so he can't stand up, and Ryno was lost somewhere (I haven't seen him since sophomore year of college), so Wild Thing is the only surviving.
A friend of mine tried at one point to get all the Twins figures - I know he had Dan Gladden and Kent Hrbek, although I'm not sure of any other RBI-ers.
I collect baseball memorabilia still and have a Cal Ripken Bobblehead and a Mark McGwire Bobblehead (but with the Cards, not the A's). I have yet to get a reasonably priced Eric Davis Bobblehead, but I do have a Starting Lineup as well.
If Gantry really wants to put a "RBI Memorabilia Page" up, I'd be happy to do a digital photo of any RBI stuff that I have.
Please do ed, I'll setup a section on the Media Page strictly for collectables...
If you want any Starting Lineup pics, I have about 200 in all and quite a few RBI players. I was obsessed with those damn things when I was a kid.
