The bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

To commemorate Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper on “The Day the Music Died,” the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum announced the release of the first bobbleheads of musicians Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. The officially licensed bobbleheads are the first featuring both musicians and are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in affiliation with C3 Entertainment, the exclusive worldwide representative for the Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper and Winter Dance Party brands. 

Both bobbleheads feature the musicians standing on bases bearing their names and holding guitars. The bobbleheads, which will be individually numbered to 2,025, are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads are expected to ship in June. 

“We’re excited to unveil the first bobbleheads celebrating music legends Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper,” says Phil Sklar, co-founder and chief executive officer, National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “Taken far too early, both musicians made lasting marks and the bobbleheads will be must-haves for music fans.”
