As you may have heard if you follow enough hokey sports Twitter accounts, Wednesday, Jan. 7, is the inaugural National Bobblehead Day.
According to Forbes, this is an actual thing, sponsored by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and designated by the Registrar of the National Day
In honor of this beautiful holiday, here are the 10 weirdest bobbleheads we could find on eBay that you can totally purchase right now if that’s your sort of thing. We aren’t judging. Look, this cute guy has a gun!
The mascot bobblehead is not weird in itself, but this guy is pretty goofy. He looks more like a duck than a bird and appears about 50 pounds slimmer than he does in the “flesh.”

Felipe Lopez is a symbolic choice, a stand-in for every totally forgettable baseball player who lucked into a bobblehead some time or another.
