WWE Randy Orton Series 16 Action Figure
Yes, Spring is in the air and graduation parties will occupy your weekends. You need to give the graduate a gift, right? A great gift option and possibly some of the coolest action figures ever made are WWE Action Figures. The WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is entertaining for people of all ages. There are many different wrestling characters in both men and women. Fortunately, a toy company named Jakks Pacific, has created 100’s of action figures based on WWE wrestling characters. These characters not only come dressed in their character’s wrestling uniform, but each comes loaded with accessories. Some accessories may include: folding chair, step ladder, microphone, wrestling belt, briefcase, breakaway bench, barbell, fire extinguisher, and even a safe.

Although, they are sold separately, Jakks releases their action figures in a Series. Usually about 6-7 figures are included in that particular series, so you can collect the entire series, if you wish. Each action figure stands approximately 6-7 inches tall and comes with many different points of articulation. Some of the many series that Jakks has released has included: Ruthless Agression, Deluxe Aggression, Adrenaline, Superstars, Maximum Aggression (12 inch figures), Buildn’Brawlers (3 3/4 inch figures), Ring Rage, Unmatched Fury, and Micro Aggression (2 inch figures).
Another point to consider is the value these figures hold in time. As with many action figure manufacturers, these figures are made for a short while, then retired and never made again. This increases the value of the items during the course of time. Collector’s info and proper care for collecting action figures can be found at Super Action Figures (informative site on action figures).
These wrestling action figures are a great hit with children in the early teens, as well as adults. The child could be the envy of the block by receiving their favorite WWE wrestler. So, as the Summer season gets busy with graduation parties and typical Summer activities, a quick fix for your gift-giving needs are WWE wrestling action figures.

24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 1
We knew the hit TV show 24 was extremely popular, but if the network licensed action figures and other dolls from the show, would they be just as popular? In 2007, McFarlane Toys introduced the 24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 1. This action figure boxed set was the first to come along from the hit show and came with Jack in full detail. Right out from a gripping action scene, this figure includes a custom base, prop fencing, and background image. Jack aslo articulates at several points and was designed on a 6″ scale basis. Did it meet expectations? Well, Mr. Bauer was a hit! These figures apparently, were the exact items that 24 fans and collectors were looking for. So much, indeed, that a Series 2 had to be made.
- 24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 2
Later on in November of that same year, McFarlane Toys released the 24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 2. McFarlane follows through in a big way with this detailed piece. Jack is featured kicking in a door, ready to defeat the enemy. Once again, this incredible action figure piece is based on a 6″ scale and comes with several points of articulation.
With both of these action figure deluxe boxed sets being released in 2007, McFarlane Toys has since discontinued manufacturing these collectibles. As with many action figure and toy manufacturers, these pieces are only available for a short amount of time. Once they have sold out, they are gone forever. If you haven’t had a chance to pick these two up yet, you better hurry as stock quantities won’t last very long. Collectors are sure to gobble them up. A hero unlike any other deserves an action figure unlike any other!

Dark Knight Batman Bobblehead Series 2
With the outstanding success of the film The Dark Knight, merchandising for the movie is hugely popular. NECA has originally released The Dark Knight Batman Bobblehead and The Dark Knight Joker Bobblehead. These two Bobbleheads, released in the summer of 2008, were in high demand. The Joker Bobblehead was a huge hit! This, of course, was due to the outstanding acting performance by Heath Ledger.
These two bobbleheads from the film remained flying off of retail shelves all summer long. Now, due to popular demand, NECA has released a magnificent The Dark Knight Series 2 Bobbleheads. Many fans have said that the release of these Series 2 bobbleheads are better looking than Series 1. This is simply a matter of opinion, but I may have to agree with them. Batman with a dagger weapon does look pretty cool.
All (3) bobbleheads are made of solid resin and stand approximately 8″ tall. Plus, each bobblehead is hand painted. In this fast paced world, hand painted products are very hard to find. Bonus!
Dark Knight Joker Bobblehead Series 2
Rounding out the Series 2 set, comes Two-Face. The Two-Face bobblehead could very well be the most detailed out of all of the bobbleheads in Series 2. The District Attorney Harvey Dent (Two-Face) stands proud with his coin which reminds us, you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
With the added new bobblehead character Two-Face, the Dark Knight Series 2 Head Knockers are definitely worth adding to your bobblehead collection!

Bobbleheads are back in the mainstream and as popular as ever. Although, the earliest known bobblehead ever to be created in 1842, the modern day bobblehead appeared in the 1950’s. Bobbleheads have existed ever since and today, they are as popular as ever. Many Americans have dressed their desks at work with these head wobbling statues. Usually a conversation piece emerges from the workplace when displayed.
Bobbleheads are often referred to as Head Nodders, Head Knockers, Bobbing Head Dolls, or Wobblers. Many variations of Bobbleheads have spawned including the Bobble Breeze, Computer Sitter Bobbler, Bobble Banks, and others. Bobble Breeze are miniature Bobbleheads that double as air freshners. Great for the car, you can adhere the bottom of the bobblehead to your dashboard. Computer Sitter Bobblers are miniature bobbleheads that literally sit on top of your computer monitor.
Many Major League Baseball teams and other sports teams give bobbleheads away at their games as a means of promotion. Sponsors create these bobbleheads and most are manufactured exclusively for these events.
At present, the list of bobblehead manufacturers continues to grow year by year. Some manufacturers incorporate sound when the bobblehead bobbles. The entertainment world offers many themes that have been licensed for bobblehead manufacturers. From Star Wars to The Dark Knight to The Godfather to Gremlins to Predator to Office Space. Science Fiction, Comedy, Drama, Horror films, and musicals, bobbleheads come in all facets of entertainment.
Bobbleheads are also favorites for collectors. Since many collectors look for rare or exclusively manufactured items, bobbleheads make for a great collecting hobby. Most bobblehead manufacturers offer their products for a limited time. Several production runs are made and eventually the item is retired. Some manufacturers make exclusive variations of their items and only make these available to special retailers.
With over 150 years of history since its first introduction, the bobblehead is here to stay for many generations to come.
