A nod to my growing bobblehead collection

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a big bobblehead collection? I have always wondered this, and I hope to find out how big my bobblehead collection can get! The first one I ever got was the Joker from Batman. I was 4, and I have loved them ever since.
I have 69 of them, and I have many different kinds including DC, Marvel, Disney and different sports. Some of them are big. But most of them are regular-sized. They are usually about 6 or 7 inches. My favorite is Gorilla Grodd from “The Flash.” Some of them I bought with my own money, and some my family bought for me for special occasions.
I have some older bobbleheads that my dad gave me from when he was younger. My dad likes to get the ones from his favorite sports teams, TV shows and movies. They don’t make as many bobbleheads as they used to. Most of them are vinyl heads, which means that the heads do not move. The main company that makes them is called Funko Pop.
Collecting bobbleheads is fun. I enjoy looking for rare ones the most. It is especially fun to search for them with my dad. We like going to different stores and seeing what we can find. Right now I am keeping them all on a shelf in my room. I think will be collecting them for years to come.
