Every Friday, Stuff We Missed looks to other Milwaukee publications (and beyond) for, well, stuff we missed throughout the week. This week: Charlie Berens and DJ Shawna bobblehead day!
• No bobblehead hall of fame and museum works harder than Milwaukee’s National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. The NBHoFaM releases new sports-related bobbles nearly every day. It has gone ahead and bobble-ized local characters like Pat McCurdy and Milverine, as well as national characters like Dr. Fauci, Dr. Jill Biden, and Jesus Christ. Has the NBHoFaM made Home Alone bobbleheads? Yes. Did Macaulay Culkin drop by that one time and point at stuff? Yes.
Anyway, now you can get bobbleheads of wildly popular Wisconsin comedian/author/musician Charlie Berens, and wildly awesome Milwaukee Bucks DJ/musician DJ Shawna. They’re $25 each (plus shipping), and they’re both available for pre-order now. The first batch of the Charlie Berens bobblehead is already sold out (ope!), but the second batch is expected to ship in April 2022. The DJ Shawna bobble, meanwhile, is expected to ship in February 2022. [National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum]
