Flash Gordon Bobblehead
Flash Gordon was the hero in a science fiction adventure comic strip first published on January 7, 1934. Originally drawn by Alex Raymond, Flash Gordon was a handsome polo player and Yale graduate who accompanied Dr. Hans Zarkov on a faster than light starship to the planet Mongo. The Flash Gordon comic strip has been translated into many different media including movies and animated cartoon series. The latest version, a Flash Gordon TV series, was broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel.
The Flash Gordon bobblehead is a classic just like its namesake because only a limited number of them were manufactured and then they were retired from production so their value as a collector’s item is increasing. They were made out of lightweight polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, a thermoplastic polymer that is commonly used to make figurines because it can be molded into any shape and it is compatible with a wide variety of different paint finishes. Your Flash Gordon bobblehead gift will be packaged in a colorful cardboard collector's box with a cellophane display window.
