King bobble head

BluGilliand

This was announced a while ago as a give away at certain Red Sox games I believe. Here's a link to one from ebay but I don't think it looks anything like King.

Wow, that's just...bad. ???



One collectible I won't have a problem passing up.

Agreed on the look; doesn't really look like anyone familiar. I wonder where this came from--they're not scheduled to be given out for nearly a month.

The company that made these should be sued under the Trade Descriptions Act for making something that looks absolutely nothing like King. ::)

The Tank Macnamara comic strip featured the King bobble heads in the strip all week.



From Monday, July 19 through Thursday, July 23, the Lowell Spinners received national recognition for their Stephen King bobble head promotion on Friday the 13th through the comic strip "Tank McNamara."

"Tank McNamara" featured Stephen King bobble reads running rampant through out the stadium causing many problems, including jamming up a pitching machine. The comic strip also paid reference to last year's Jack Kerouac bobble head promotion twice.



The Spinners are giving away Stephen King bobble heads to the first 1,500 fans through the gate on August 13th, which is also Friday the 13th.



The King bobble head features him in a Boston Red Sox jersey with the No. 13 and "King" across the back. King is also wearing a Spinners hat and the base is three of his favorite books he has written: "The Dead Zone," "The Green Mile," and "The Dark Tower."



This is the second time the Spinners have been in the "Tank McNamara" comic strip as last year the Jack Kerouac bobble head was featured.
