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!
