The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has just unveiled limited-edition bobbleheads featuring Bob Knight and Butler University mascot Butler Blue IV riding in his mini car.
There are two limited-edition bobbleheads of legendary college basketball coach Bob Knight. The first features Knight wearing his signature red sweater, while the second bobblehead commemorates Knight’s iconic chair-throwing incident. The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in conjunction with Knight Legacy. Founded by Coach Knight’s son, Pat Knight, Knight Legacy’s mission is to honor, promote and preserve the Coach Knight Legacy and the footprint that Hall of Fame Coach Bob Knight has made in the history of basketball.
The standing bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,023 while the chair-throwing bobblehead is numbered to 19,850. The bobbleheads are currently available for pre-order exclusively through the online store. The standing Knight bobbleheads are $30 each, while the chair-throwing figures are $40 each, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. A set of two is available for $65 and both bobbleheads are expected to ship in December.
“We’re excited to team up with Knight Legacy to create these bobbleheads celebrating the legendary coach,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar relays. “One of the most successful coaches in the history of college basketball, and we think fans will love these new bobbleheads!”
The Butler Blue IV bobblehead features the mascot wearing his blue jersey and standing in his mini white car known as “The Beast.” The hood of the car features two blue racing stripes and the Butler Bulldogs logo. Both sides of the vehicle include the mascot’s social media handle @TheButlerBlue.
Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,023 and they are also only available through the online store and the Butler Bookstore. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $35 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
“From Butler Blue I to Butler Blue IV, fans across the country have come to love Butler’s lovable mascots,” Sklar says. “We’re excited to be producing this latest bobblehead of Butler Blue IV in his stylish car and we’re sure that Butler alumni, students, faculty, staff, fans and everyone else in the Butler community will want one for their collection.”
