It seems like there is a Hall of Fame for everything – sports, music, theatre, and even toys – but would you believe there is a Hall of Fame for Bobbleheads???
And they have teamed up with the hit cult film “Rocky Horror Picture Show” to create bobbleheads of the entire cast!
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to create the iconic cast members in bobblehead.
But you will not go home emptyhanded; a $30 will get you your choice of a Frank-N-Furter, Riff-Raff, Rocky, Brad, Janet, Magenta, and Columbia bobblehead. A $200 donation will get you all seven bobbleheads.
Want to help out but not ready to join the bobblehead world? You can contribute as little as $1. An $8 donation will get you a “Rocky Horror” magnet.
The campaign runs from September 25 to October 31 (Halloween) and has a goal of $15,000 which will secure a first run of the bobbleheads. Of course, the more money that is raised; the more runs of the bobbleheads there will be.
The campaign has already raised over $11,000 on the first day of the campaign.

National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar spoke on the campaign via statement saying, “we’re excited to launch this Kickstarter campaign to produce the first Rocky Horror Show Bobbleheads celebrating the iconic characters that so many people have come to know and love over the past 50 plus years. These bobbleheads are the perfect way for fans of Rocky Horror to show off their love for their favorite characters.”
The classic cult film usually runs around Halloween and the musical is running on Broadway at Studio 54.
Original Frank-N-Furter Tim Curry’s likeness was used to create the bobblehead. Curry died last month at the age of 80.
This year “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is celebrating over 50 years warping through time.
For any newbies out there unfamiliar with the film or musical…
”’The Rocky Horror Show’ follows newly engaged couple Brad and Janet, who take shelter from a storm at the home of a mysterious scientist, Dr. Frank N Furter, and stumble into the unveiling of his latest creation: Rocky. What follows is one of the most beloved cult classics of the last half-century — equal parts music, camp, horror-movie homage, and pure joyful chaos”…and plenty of audience participation!
The officially licensed collection of bobbleheads is the first time in history that the cast appears as a bobblehead.
The campaign will only go through if the original goal is met by the time it ends.
