Chris Mack Bobblehead night

[gladdenguy]

Does anybody know if this is going to be a standard sized bobblehead or the sorry excuse for a bobblehead like Jordan Crawford was?

[xu82]

I am hoping for life sized. Take the SUV.

Nice thanks Thrill

[Miller'sTale]

Anyone know what times the doors to Cintas will open tomorrow?

[coasterville95]

Yes.

[Lamont Sanford]

Doors always open 90 minutes prior to tip-off.

[Titanxman04]

Anyone willing to part with one?

[gladdenguy]

I will be looking to buy one as well. Make me an offer and I will meet you with cash. I will be walking in right at game time.....no way I will get one.

[muskiefan82]

I also can't make it tomorrow. I would be willing to part with some cash for one to add to the shrine to all things Xavier that is in my office.

[Muskie]

Hopefully MOR can grab me one. It's his game

[GoMuskies]

There are not currently any David West Xavier bobbleheads on eBay. The topic of Mack's bobblehead got me curious as to what one could fetch for a West bobblehead. Anyone know?

Mine is not for sale!

[Muskie]

I'm on the Hunt for a Dwest

[GoMuskies]

You can have mine for $10,000.

[Muskie]

Correction: I'm on the hunt for a reasonably priced Dwest

[X-band '01]

Is that Chris Mack or Iceman?

I'm curious how you guys got pictures of a bobblehead that won't be given away until tomorrow night.

Muskie, I know a guy, who knows a guy who MIGHT be able to get you one :rolleyes:

[Muskie]

I might know a guy who would be interested in meeting that guy.

[principal]

Is the Jordan Crawford bobblehead worth anything?

[nuts4xu]

I am not a collector but the Jordan Crawford bobblehead was among the worst and most cheaply made. It was a total piece of crap. The David West and Jame Posey are the most legit bobbleheads Xavier has had to offer. I hope I am there in time to get a couple of the Chris Mack versions.

[XU-PA]

Count me in as looking for one of the Chris Mack, would need to ship to me.
Also of anyone has one of the Justin Doellman they are willing to part with,,,,,

[xumuskies08]

I wish they had made more than 3,000. I'm nervous about getting one.

I don't believe they made a Justin Doellman bobblehead, did they? Was this recently?

The only bobbleheads I am aware of were the David West, James Posey, Blue Bob, and Jordan Crawford. I recall a Justin Doellman growth chart, but not a bobblehead.

I have two different versions of the BlueBlob, one wearing shades and one without. Both are pretty awesome if you are into bobbleheads.

Isn't the blob technically a bobblebody?

So, it sounds as though those of us that want the Mack one need to show up 5 minutes before doors open.

Yes the blue blob has a body that bobbles. It was given out at a women's game a few years ago.

When they gave out the David West doll, there was a line around the corner of the building about an hour before the doors opened. It was New Years Eve, and raining, yet there were a couple hundred people waiting in line to ensure they obtained it...including me.

Sorry, M.

That'll be a cool story to tell when your extensive Xavier Collection is minus one Chris Mack Bobblehead.

Safe travels my friend.

[xumuskies08]

5:50 update: still tons on bobbleheads left. Looks like I didn't need to get here this early. Oh well. Better safe than sorry.

The bobble head next to something we are all familiar with for size comparison.

[Muskie1000]

I got here about 6:30 and got one of the last ones.

[Lamont Sanford]

I got my hands on a Tu Holloway bobblehead that was produced his senior year. I think the plans were to give them out to big time donors, AFO members, etc...and then came the Brawl and they were never distributed.

Well, that is some BS. Really.

[RoadWarrior]

Holloway bobble head was made in hopes of an All-America campaign and was to be distributed at a game. Unfortunately, that dream came to a screaching halt.

[RoadWarrior]

Don't forget about the Thad Matta, Amy Waugh, Tara Boothe and Special Jennings bobble heads.
Would have preferred a Romain Sato bobblehead to the nesting dolls

The Blue Blob Bobble Body is the greatest "bobble head" in my collection. The blue blob was destined to be made into an epic bobble head

'Ville95. I work for Miller and periodically I get gratis beer which I give away as I don't drink beer (gout). So, if anytime you want my beer you can have it. Thanks for the patronage.

[mohr5150]

My father-in-law and I walked in at about 6:45 and found two white boxes sitting in the bottom of one of the big boxes for the bobble heads. We took the boxes and found out that they were real life bobble heads of Chris Mack...both of the legs were blown out:(

[XUOWNSUC]

Got to the Cintas Center around 6:20 PM and there were still plenty left.

I was kind of disappointed with the choice of Chris Mack though. Xavier has such a rich history of players to choose from. Yes, I realize Mack is our current coach, but how about Tyrone Hill? Or Brian Grant? Jamal Walker? There are so many greats to pick from who haven't had a bobblehead made of them yet. We go from David West to James Posey to Jordan Crawford and then to Chris Mack???

[gladdenguy]

Walked in right at game time with my main man XU 87 only to get to my seat and be greeted with a bobblehead from my other main man Nuts.
That with a blowout of Depaul came out to a great night. Beat the Hoyas!!!!!!

[Music City Muskie]

I got mine! I'd like to see a Stainbrook growth chart for the kids. Has there been one since the Sato growth chart?

I now have a bobblehead of a guy I was in classes with at X. That's kind of weird....

I thought the same thing about having one of a guy I went to classes with.

They had a Doellman and a Drew Lavender growth chart since Sato, but nothing since.

I'm not so disappointed in the choice of people but with how they made the bobblehead. So it said Coach Chris Mack but it was him as a player with a full set of hair. He wasn't a coach then, just put Chris Mack on it. Ok so you want to make one as him as a coach, then make him bald and put a suit on him.

[muskiefan82]

A coworker knew I couldn't make the game last night and I found Coach Mack on my desk. He is a welcome addition.....

I had that same thought. There are a lot of fans that know Mack as a coach only, and the bobblehead looks nothing like coach Mack, though I'd stop short of saying I was disappointed in it. I just would have done it differently.

I also wonder what the concession sales were like last night versus a regular game, with several thousand getting there earlier than normal.

[Music City Muskie]

When they start doing bobbleheads of guys on this board I will drive up for every game.

I'll drive up for every game when they start doing bobbleheads of all the girls on this board.

But for Staingbrook it should be a horizontal measurement and date crease instead of increase.

Someday Muskie should organize a Xavierhoops.com pre-game gala. Rent out that area above the court. Free drinks. Female poster bobbleheads.

There are a couple of Doellman bobbles floating around. I've seen one. I think it is in the US Bank office in Gallagher (not positive). But similar to the mythical Tu bobble others have mentioned, Doellman was never a game giveaway - so I don't know where they got it.

Good point, if they did a bobblehead on a saturday for a marquee player they might be able to pay for those in extra beer sales.

Can someone enlighten me on why in the hell anyone would take the time to sell a $10 item on Ebay? I am not dismissing anyone's financial situation, but will the effort put forth really be worth the return on investment? The time it takes for me to list and sell an item on Ebay would far exceed $10.

I don't think it's worth any more than that, but what type of person needs to hock a plastic doll on the internet to make ends meet?

[bobbiemcgee]

The guy has over 17k feedbacks. Maybe 1 in 3 bother with the feedback, so I'm guessing he has sold more than 50k items on ebay. Probably as easy for him as popping open a beer.

[coasterville95]

Next up Snipe Bobbleheads -- they come packaged with a smelly glove for you to shove under other fans noses.

Or, Bobbleheads of the infamous Glow Girls Collection!

[SlimKibbles]

I was not able to get a bobblehead. Walked in with about 15 min or so left in pregame and they were already gone. Seemed like everyone around me had one (in some cases many) though.

With something like a bobblehead, that's already packaged and basically ready to ship it probably took the guy all of 5 minutes to set up the auction and maybe another minute to print out a shipping label and plop it in the mailbox after it (presumably) sells.

All I know is I'd do 6 minutes of work for $10.

[Kahns Krazy]

Yeah, I would imagine that guy's living involves buying and selling stuff. When that is what you do, you do it all the time.

[Muskie]

The Tu Holloway Bobbles are not mythical. I have one that was received from an anonymous source.

[Masterofreality]

The Tu Holloway Bobbles are not mythical. I have one that was received from an anonymous source.

By the way, Tu took a selfie at the GTown Seton Hall game last night. He referenced on Twitter of an "east coast road trip". Woner if he might show up in DC tomorrow?

Looks like Tu's contract between he and the Lueven Bears in Belgium was "terminated by mutual agreement" on 2/15, so he's done with Europe for now. Hope he lands on his feet, but that is not a good sign.

I am not, but I do know several Xavier fans who work at law firms downtown. I imagine that's like staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

The Doellman bobble head was a give-away at the Sean Miller Basketball camp...same with the Chalmers Bobblehead.

Also the sole Chris Mack available on Ebay right now is already at $20.

Chalmers, Doellman, and Holloway bobbleheads are like Big Foot. I have often heard stories of these but I have never seen any hard core proof.

I have the Chalmers and Holloway bobbles...they definitely exist. I would love to get my hands on the Doellman one.

It is a shame they only give out a select few of these. I would think any of the bobbleheads they have released would be great items for the bookstore to actually sell.

In fact I have a bobblehead "set" with Mack in the front, the Sato nesting doll and the D'Artagnan bank in row two, the two Blob bobbles and the lame Crawford bobble in row three, and the two Posey bobbles flanking the twin Brennaman bobble in the back row. With my piece of the original Cintas floor and a Xavier basketball bank off to the sides, I have a veritable shrine of Muskie hoops here at the office. I also have an inaugural Cintas cup in play.

That would be a great item to use to teach your son about disloyalty and opportunism...oh, and stealing someone's stuff while demeaning them (Parrom),(Buick)....

[Lamont Sanford]

So here are the XU bobbleheads & other X mementos that I have:

David West
James Posey
Lionel Chalmers
Tu Holloway
D'Artgnan
Chris Mack
Blue Blob (sunglasses & no sunglasses)
Romain Sato nesting doll
D'Artgnan "wobbler"
David West compass keychain

Plus several growth chart posters: Doellman (two), Sato and Drew Lavender.

I "won" one of their Zip 'Em shirts and ,after some back and forth about how I was to get the item delivered, they got shitty with me on Twitter so I no longer have any use for them. Oh, I never got the shirt.

I bet those bobbleheads they gave out more exclusively (Chalmers, Doellman, etc) would fetch a lot more than $33.40.

Those who have them, keep that in mind if you need some quick cash.

If you aren't offering, then I can't say what I would pay.

Supply and Demand alone dictate the price would be considerably higher than the bobbleheads given out in larger numbers at the games.

[GoMuskies]

I'm not sure about that. Supply would certainly say that, but demand is going to be significantly less for a Doellman than for a West.

[Muskie]

Found this interesting "throwback" article from everyone's favorite XU Sports Reporter Dustin Down (link (http://enquirer.com/xavier/2002/11/18/wwwxu18.html))

Talks about the (now elusive) David West Bobblehead.

I am now in possession of a second Chris Mack bobblehead. I am willing to sell, but would rather trade for one I don't have.

[mohr5150]

Not to hijack this thread, but I was digging through a closet of mine and came across a basketball signed by the Desert Raccoon along with the entire team when they had Lavender, Raymond, Caudle, and Wolfe, along with many others that are difficult to read. Any interest? Send me a PM.

[Lamont Sanford]

I too have a Mack bobblehead that I am willing to trade for a Doellman if anyone is interested.
