The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is rolling out the red carpet for Chicago with a bob-tastic celebration of National Bobblehead Day featuring local university mascots. The museum has whipped up limited-edition figures of five mascot luminaries from DePaul University, Loyola University Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Chicago, and University of Chicago. In a dash of mascot mania, these bobbleheads are going for $35 a pop plus shipping, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Phil Sklar, co-founder and CEO of the museum, is betting that the City's school spirit and bobblehead fervor are a match made in collector's heaven. “We know how passionate Chicago-area fans are about their school of choice and bobbleheads, so we expect these bobbleheads to be extremely popular,” he told the Sun-Times. With mascots like Northwestern’s Willie the Wildcat and DePaul’s DIBS ready to ship, fans are in for a treat. The others will follow suit in May, with Phil the Phoenix and Sparky D. Dragon raring to join the bobblehead big leagues.

Lest we forget the pitch-perfect homage, the Bobblehead Hall of Fame has also paid tribute to Chicago Cubs legend Jake Arrieta. His iconic no-hitter against the Reds was immortalized in 360 limited editions, a figure that captures his victory pose, open mouth and all. It's a historic moment Cubs fans can relive for $40, exclusive to the Bobblehead Hall of Fame's website, as noted by the Chicago Tribune.

Each of these bobbleheads isn't just a quirky desk ornament; they're pieces of sports and academic pride, standing on pedestals bearing team names and logos. With 2,023 available per university mascot, they're also a collector's exclusive. These figures are a playful way to put some extra bobble in your step, and if the museum's bets are right, they'll be bobbling off the shelves in no time.
