GameCube Bobblehads

[pacmanhat]

I just remembered I have a couple of these...Mario holding a Cube, and also Kobe Bryant holding a basketball. Are these things worth anything? For that matter, would anyone here happen to be looking for them?

pics?

I'm not sure if I can get any up this evening, but I'll be sure to get some up tomorrow if no one beats me to it.

I'm pretty sure these were some kind of promotion w/ the Cube's release (at Target, maybe?), but beyond that I can't remember anything about their origin. The Kobe one is fairly plastic-y, but the Mario one is definitely made out of something nicer (the name of which escapes me right now).

I've got a Luigi bobblehead that I got at a comic shop. Not sure what it's made of, but it's really heavy...

[RedHerring]

The only gaming related bobblehead that I think is probably worth anything is the Link gamecube promo that was given to store managers when Wind Waker was released

i've got the target mario one boxed, i'd say its some sorta ceramic. i've also got the donkey kong on, thats DK doing a king kong standing on top of a purple GBA. its kinda funny how mario is very smooth and rounded whereas dk has a lot of sculpted fur texture.

No idea if they're worth anything but I'd be interested in them.

I've got a few of these - one from SlugFest, one from StarFox Adventures, a Lara Croft, and two different Viewtiful Joe's. If you're looking to sell or trade them PM me!

Nintendo did an official release of bobbleheads:

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Bowser.

The Sunshine, Starfox, and Zelda ones are promo ones. Never seen Kobe, but I'd bet it's a promo one, too.

I've also seen a Sega Sports Jason Giambi one for World Series Baseball.

[GrayFox]

I gotta find one of those Star Fox ones. That one looked so awesome.

Must find.

Got that Target one (boxed), to bad i don't have a better picture but it is better then nothing :P

Would love to own the others, i like those 4 official one's, but they are damn expensive over here (i think they where US exclusive?)

[EnemyZero]

i have a few of those, they were left over from a promotion at target when i worked there

[cracked8ball]

I have a Metroid Prime one. Don't know if it's worth that much though.

[pacmanhat]

The Mario one in that pic is the same one I have. No box or anything...just loose. The Kobe one is fairly similar, saying "GameCube" at the bottom in the same fashion. It's definitely more crappily made, though. Pics are forthcoming...

I have a checklist of videogame-related bobbleheads that I've compiled. I'll dig it up and post it once I get home.

This is the only one I've never heard about. Do you have any more info on it? Was it a pre-order bonus somewhere? Pics?

[pacmanhat]

I think it came w/ a purchase of steroids...

:hmm:

I had never heard of a video game Kobe bobblehead.
I've been collecting vg bobbleheads for about 3 years, so far I have:
Mario (target)
Donkey Kong (target)
Starfox (Target)
Luigi
Spyro (promo)
Metroid Prime
Lara Croft
Viewtiful Joe (regular and in costume)
Mega Man (gamecrazy excl., 4 versions: classic, X, battle network,legends)
Link (promo)

I still need Yoshi, Bowser, and Crash Bandicoot that I know of...I had never heard of the sports ones (Kobe, Slugfest, Giambi)

[Dk_slammer]

I have the Metroid Prime one and a Dr. Muto one...had the Zelda windwaker one but sold it to fund game purchases.

I also have a Tomb Raider one and a Maximo figure that you only got for preordering Maximo GTG.

[Ikari Warrior]

Oh yeah, I forgot Dr. Muto. I have that and also one from Tak and the Power of Juju. I have that Maximo figure displayed with them too, he's awesome.
