Small plastic trinkets… small plastic trinkets never change.

Well, actually, they do - the Bobblehead has religious roots in the 17th Century, wherein certain cultures various religious figures with nodding heads could be found. Later in the 1960s, the craze had finally caught on in the West, with versions representing underground indie band The Beatles and several famous major league baseball players hitting store shelves.

Over time, as production capabilities for small plastic doodads have increased, a wider range of content has been subjected to the bobblehead treatment, with popularity of the toy skyrocketing since, helped in-part by their inclusion as a permanent stat-buff item in Bethesda’s reboot of the Fallout video game series.
