If you want something a bit more animated, there’s a Buckeye-take on a classic Peanuts’ scene.
Today, college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin will receive an honor richly deserved, but honestly long overdue, as he will dot the i in the incomparable “Script Ohio.” This comes just a day after a statue was unveiled outside of the north rotunda of Ohio Stadium immortalizing Archie for all who visit The Horseshoe.
As awesome as those honors are, it could be argued that the most humbling tribute of Archie’s weekend... and perhaps even his life, is the fact that our friends at FOCO have released a limited-edition bobblehead to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his first Heisman Trophy (I assume they have to say “Heisman Award” for licensing purposes...)
There were only 504 of these must-have collectibles made, so you better act fast if you want to make sure that you can add one to your collection. This hand-painted figure stands 8 inches tall and costs $80. Act now to ensure that your Buckeye shrine has a little GOAT in it.

Now, if you prefer your bobbling figures to be a bit more animated, then we’ve got another quality option for you, but, unlike the Archie bobblehead, this is an entire bobble scene. In it, that poor Charlie Brown has once again been duped by that bully Lucy, who has once again moved the football right before he was about to kick it. to be honest, I’m a little uncomfortable with the fact that she’s wearing scarlet and gray in this one, but I wasn’t consulted!!
Nonetheless, in this 7-inch tall scene, both Charlie Brown and Lucy’s heads bobble, and Charlie Brown spins, despite being upside-down. This mini scene is even more limited thane Archie’s bobblehead with only 150 of them available. They retail for $90, so click the link below and order yours today!

As my office can confirm, FOCO is the absolute best when it comes to Ohio State bobbleheads! Just last week, they released this awesome double-Brutus bobblehead, not to mention some of the coolest and most unique Ohio State gear imaginable. Then, last season, they dropped a very cool Brutus bobblehead with a hidden version of The Horseshoe. In the fall they released 15 different sport-specific Brutus bobbleheads and introduced Snoopy and Charlie Brown Buckeye bobblehead. Just about a year ago, FOCO unveiled a Brutus training camp bobblehead, and for Memorial Day, the company released an “I Want You” Uncle Sam-inspired Brutus bobblehead.
In addition, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ohio Stadium, FOCO released a pair of must-have bobbleheads; one featuring Brutus, while the other shows Woody Hayes strutting above The Horseshoe.
As someone with a borderline unhealthy Ohio State bobblehead/collectible addiction, I can think of no better way to celebrate the final unofficial season before college football than with one (or all) of these magnificent merchandising masterpieces.
And, if you actually care about teams other than Ohio State, FOCO has stuff for other teams that you might be interested in as well, but who likes teams other than the Buckeyes?
If, for some reason, you think you might need some sort of memorabilia from another school, I guess you can find those things here.
