I have confessed to my weakness for bobblehead dolls. I will drive distances, see games I don’t care about and pay for tickets I can’t afford if there is a bobblehead involved. I plan to go to the Manny Ramirez bobblehead game on July 22, even though Manny is a fraud and a cheat.
So, yes, I am always on the lookout for bobblehead opportunities.
This one, however, is too much even for me. Even if I could afford it, and I can’t.
This is the bobblehead to end all bobbleheads — a life-size Kobe Bryant bobblehead, yours for $13,000. Yes, $13,000.
Here is a link to the Lakers store, where the bobblehead is advertised.
Let’s see … I like Kobe Bryant well enough, too. Kobe and a bobblehead? Great idea.
But not 6-foot-6 worth of Kobe bobblehead.
That’s a major lifestyle/interior decoration decision.
Being a bobblehead fan isn’t something you really want to beat your visitors over the head with, you know? And I’m thinking that a 6-foot-6 porcelain Kobe nodding in the corner of your living room reveals a few things about you it would be better if the world doesn’t know.
That you are 1) OK with a 6-foot-6 bobblehead … that you 2) want, essentially, a Kobe statue in your house … and that 3) you are willing to spend $13,000 to indulge your geekdom, which now is just plain scary.
So I will be passing on the 6-foot-6 Kobe bobblehead, even if I find $13,000 on the street later today.
