# Personalized Bobbleheads Pretend You're Famous! By Nigel Goodwin | Published 2007-01-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-bobbleheads-pretend-youre-famous References: [chron](http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/bizarre/4428365.html) & [custommadefigurines](http://www.custommadefigurines.com) The macro-trend of personalization has scored again, and this time it's personalized bobbleheads. You know, we're talking about those little plastic caricatures of athletes and other celebrities with the big wobbly heads. They used to be mass produced and sold by the thousands (and they still are), but now you can get one in your own likeness. They're hand-made and they cost between US$150 and US$200. Apparently, some people get a real kick out of seeing themselves re-created this way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Personalization:** The trend of personalization offers opportunities for creating personalized products like bobbleheads. - **Customization:** The customization trend enables the creation of bobbleheads that resemble individuals instead of celebrities. - **Handmade Products:** The demand for personalized bobbleheads reflects the trend of valuing unique, handmade products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gift and Novelty:** The gift and novelty industry can tap into the personalization trend by offering personalized bobbleheads as unique gifts. - **Collectibles:** The collectibles industry can embrace customization by producing custom bobbleheads that appeal to collectors. - **Crafts and Artisans:** The crafts and artisans industry can explore the demand for handmade products by creating personalized bobbleheads. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Animated Custom Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-yourself.md) - [Personalized Christmas Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-me-ornaments.md) - [Selfie-Centric Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-series.md) - [Selfie-Based Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs.md) - [Custom Face Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-identity-program.md) - [Personalized Artful Vinyl Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/send-yourself-nowhere.md) - [Customizable Vinyl Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeship.md) - [Collectible Baseball Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghostwrite-x-mlb-game-face.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md)
