National Bobblehead Hall of Fame & Museum: Of course there's a Donald Trump 'Fight' and ear bandage bobblehead dropping

It’s 2024 and even the word viral doesn’t fully impact how fast epic things in life can get flipped and turn into some type of tangible must-own. How about the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame & Museum coming through with signature Donald Trump bobbleheads following the horrific assassination attempt? Wowzers.

It’s all in the details and the pre-orders are officially on deck.

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled limited-edition bobbleheads featuring Donald Trump’s iconic “Fight” pose after surviving the assassination attempt on Saturday, July 13th and the subsequent images of Trump wearing the ear bandage at last week’s Republican National Convention. Following a flood of requests for bobbleheads featuring these two iconic moments, the Hall of Fame and Museum is making both bobbleheads available for pre-order. The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

The first bobblehead features former President Donald Trump with blood on his ear and face with his fist raised standing on a red, white, and blue circular base bearing his name. The bobblehead replicates the iconic moment when the Republican presidential candidate pumped his fist defiantly to the crowd in the seconds after surviving an assassination attempt during his campaign rally on Saturday, July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania. The second bobblehead features former President Donald Trump wearing a bandage over his right ear. Former President Trump made his first appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just two days after the assassination attempt wearing a bandage over his right ear, which became a fashion accessory that convention attendees quickly copied.

The bobbleheads, which will be individually numbered, are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads are expected to ship in December and are $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

On Saturday, July 13th, former President Trump was just minutes into his speech during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania – a key state in the November 5th election – when shots from a nearby rooftop rang out, hitting his right ear and leaving him bloodied. Trump quickly dropped to the ground and was surrounded by Secret Service agents. When he got to his feet, Trump pumped his fist to the crowd and shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” with blood streaming down his face before being rushed off the stage. The attack on Trump was the most serious attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. After being checked out at a local medical facility, Trump’s campaign issued a statement saying that he was “fine.” In a post later that night on his social media network, Trump wrote that he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear. The shooting killed an innocent rally attendee, 50-year-old firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was a spectator in the stands. Two others were seriously wounded.

In the days that followed, it was revealed that only a last-second turn of his head kept Trump from potentially being mortally wounded. On Monday, July 15th, the Republican Party officially nominated Trump to be its 2024 presidential nominee, marking the third time since 2016 that Trump has been nominated. Wearing a bandage over his right ear, Trump made a surprise appearance at first night of the Republican National Convention. He formally accepted the nomination in a speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, July 18th at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

"We have received a flood of requests for bobbleheads to commemorate these two historic images that are sure to be among the most iconic moments in history,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Political bobbleheads have grown in popularity since debuting in the 1960’s, and bobbleheads commemorating historic moments like these have been among the most popular.”

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum: Donald Trump's mugshot bobblehead is coming

What’s the best and worst way to highlight former president Donald Trump these days? How about taking a look at his recent mugshot - yikes. Even better? How about turning the now-infamous snapshot into the perfect bobblehead for your home? Tough. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is back at it.

There’s really nothing the franchise and organization is unable to do - instead, they continue to push the culture forward and with the mugshot bobblehead looking to go into production, it’s only right to laugh it up and acknowledge if you can think it, they can create it.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled a Donald Trump Mug Shot Bobblehead following Trump's arrest in Georgia for charges related to his efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 election results. The former President of the United States had a booking photo taken at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail on Thursday, August 24th, and was released on bail. The special edition bobblehead is being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

The Trump bobblehead features the former president’s unsmiling, scowling mug shot on a base bearing his name. Glaring into the camera, Trump’s brow is furrowed, his jaw clenched, and his red tied knotted tightly. Each bobblehead will be individually numbered and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in January, are $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

On Thursday evening, August 24th, former President Trump turned himself in for arrest and processing at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail after being indicted along with 18 others for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Unlike the three other criminal cases in which Trump was indicted, arrested, and arraigned, the former president was obliged to pose for a mug shot at the jail, as were all those charged with crimes stemming from the election plot. His bond had been set at $200,000, and he used Foster Bail Bonds LLC to pay it, according to reports.

After being booked, Trump, who remains the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, made a statement to the press gathered at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport: “I really believe this is a sad day for America. This should never happen. If you challenge an election, you should be able to challenge an election. I thought the election was a rigged election, a stolen election, and I should have every right to do that.”

It was Trump’s fourth arrest since April when he became the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. His previous appearances in New York, Florida, and Washington, D.C. attracted enormous media attention with news helicopters tracking his every move. Trump and his campaign team wasted little time using the mug shot for fundraising purposes, posting it on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, as well as his own social media platform, Truth Social. The X post was Trump’s first in more than 2½ years, after his account was banned following the January 6th, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters. Trump also put the mug shot photograph on his campaign website alongside an appeal for donations, claiming he had been “arrested despite having committed no crime.”

"Whether you are a Donald Trump backer or detractor, the first mug shot of a former president is a historic moment that deserves a bobblehead,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “The mug shot will likely be one of the most iconic images and a bobblehead commemorating the moment is sure to be popular!”
