Limited Edition bobblehead commemorating the Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets rivalry is now available for purchase exclusively from the National Bobblehead HOF.
MILWAUKEE, Wi., May 11, 2018 β β Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed bobblehead commemorating the NL East rivalry between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. The dual bobbleheads, which are individually numbered to just 1,000, are only available in the National Bobblehead HOF and Museumβs Online Store.
The bobbleheads, which begin shipping next week, cost $75 each plus a flat rate shipping charge of $8 per order. They were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead HOF by FOCO.
The rivalry bobblehead features Philadelphia Phillies mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, and New York Mets Mascot, Mr. Met, facing each other with their fists up. This is the first bobblehead commemorating the rivalry between the Phillies and Mets, who renew their rivalry with a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park this weekend.
