Hand Painted Uncle Wobble Doll: Just Has A Ring To It

This Uncle Sam figure, like many other objects featured here, is a direct result of 9/11. Patriotic items flooded the stores everywhere after 9/11, and American symbols like Uncle Sam, the flag, eagle and the colors red, white and blue were incorporated into everything. This example features an Uncle Sam (aka Uncle Wobble) doll dressed up in his patriotic best, which is then packaged in a bright red box featuring the American flag on one side. Over the top you say? No, a truly fitting home for this American symbol. It is worth pointing out that many of these objects were produced over seas. Here the awkwardness ("Uncle Wobble") of the package is hard to miss.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A bobblehead doll, also known as a bobbing head doll, nodder, or wobbler, is a type of collectible doll. Its head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid connection, its head is connected to the body by a spring in such a way that a light tap will cause the head to bobble, hence the name. Read more here.

Bobblehead dolls represent a variety of people and characters. Giveaways at sports venues are a common use of bobbleheads. This bobblehead doll depicts a NY firefighter holding an American flag. This is a tribute that was offered after 9/11. There were a number of doll variations, ranging from a cop to eagle to lady liberty.
