The Mets recently announced an amazing Noah Syndergaard bobblehead giveaway, so we decided to take a look at some of the very best that belong on your desk.
On July 22, the New York Mets will be giving away a Noah Syndergaard bobblehead to the first 15,000 fans in attendance.
With that particular game starting a 7:10 pm EDT, we can fully expect quite the ugly battle royal at Citi Field to commence no later than 3 pm.
Grown adults pushing and shoving and acting like total assclowns in an effort to get their hands on a Thor-themed Syndergaard bobblehead pretty much defines sports fandom. But that kind of behavior might almost be acceptable considering this one appears to have been sent straight from the heavens above.
It’s seriously flawless. Though if I were to make one change, I’d just make the hair longer. But that’s unnecessary nitpicking.
This is art, my friends.
Sadly, that’s not a typo in the tweet. Someone actually ended up purchasing the “Noah Thor” bobblehead for $199.99 on eBay. Glass half full? Maybe in five years or so they can flip it for a cool grand and expand that ever-growing bobblehead budget.
We can only hope.
Speaking of the aforementioned heavens above, I was 100% not aware that this Bartolo Colon “bobble-belly” existed but I’m clearly going to need to own this immediately; if not sooner.
You had me at “stomach bobbles,” Clark Toys, although the newspaper is a wonderful touch.
Unfortunately, it’s currently sold out on the Clark Toys site but I will hunt. My oh my, I WILL HUNT.
Up next is a Bryce Harper bobblehead that couldn’t possibly get any more accurate than what we have right here.
The majestic hair alone makes this one worth forking over $39.99, especially when you remind yourself what some idiots are spending for these things on eBay.
The highlights from this group go as follows:
- Giancarlo Stanton’s dual People’s Eyebrow
- Mookie’s overt glee
- MadBum’s fitting sadness
- Kyle Schwarber preparing to bunt
- Jake Arrieta’s pristine beard
- Gary Sanchez’s head accidentally being swapped out for Blake Griffin’s
Gotta go with Stanton as the winner here. They really nailed the hair.
For the lovable Yoenis Cespedes, all that mattered was the inclusion of his neon arm sleeve. He also appears to be happily admiring a moonshot, which is a nice touch.
Now, for one of the greatest bobbleheads I’ve ever seen.
Between the inside of Pedro Cerrano’s locker featuring baseball cards of players from Major League, along with the Jobu bobblehead itself, I’m feeling a strong need to stand and feverishly applaud.
Take. My. Money.
Bonus Bobbleheads
It doesn’t matter what your feelings are when it comes to Deion Sanders.
A bobblehead that catches Prime Time seemingly in the midst of a pick-6 as he high-steps his way to the end zone is nothing short of remarkable.

A bobblehead celebrating Klay Thompson’s 60-point game that looks exactly like Klay Thompson? Pure gold.
Believe me, that’s no easy feat because I’m almost positive I have an Allen Iverson bobblehead sitting around somewhere that looks more like Luol Deng than it does Allen Iverson.
