A bobblehead doll, also known as a bobbing head doll or wobbler is a type of collectible doll. Its head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid connection, its head is connected to the body by a spring in such a way that a light tap will cause the head to bobble, hence the name.
Although bobblehead dolls have been made with a wide variety of figures such as vampiric cereal pitchman Count Chocula, beat generation author Jack Kerouac, and Nobel-prize-winning geneticist James D. Watson, they are most associated with athletes, and baseball players in particular. Bobblehead dolls are sometimes given out to ticket buyers at sporting events as a promotion.
History
The exact origin of the bobblehead doll is unknown, though first known reference to a bobblehead doll in literature was in Nikolai Gogol's famous 1842 short story "The Overcoat". While the word bobblehead was not used directly, the main character's neck was described as "like the necks of plaster cats which wag their heads". Early bobbleheads depicting animals were sold by street vendors as novelties; presumably, most were bought as gifts for children. Although not strictly considered bobblehead dolls, some examples of Japanese netsuke exist with bobblehead-like spring-operated features. More on [ Bobblehead doll ]

I just realized that Taylor Lautner looks like a buff bobble-head. Why is his head so big?
