Bobbleheads! They are crazy and wacky figurines with disproportionately tiny bodies and enlarged unsteady heads. Almost every famous mascot has one, and the State Fair of Texas did not pass on the opportunity to participate in this bobblehead endeavor. For nearly two decades, the State Fair of Texas has encapsulated the iconic look of the 55-foot-tall cowboy, Big Tex, into a bobblehead of its own.
Since 2005, these bobbleheads have become a collectible commodity among dedicated and casual fairgoers as each year brings a unique bobblehead from the last. Did you know the designs of each bobblehead will often take inspiration from something special from that year’s fair such as the year’s theme or the changing appearance of Big Tex himself? Bobbleheads of the past have included Big Tex’s eye-catching yellow shirt, another included a scaled-down model of the Texas capitol, and the latest bobblehead included a birthday cake to commemorate Big Tex’s 70th birthday.
These Big Tex bobbleheads show up at merchandise stands across the fairgrounds during the yearly 24-day exposition but always remain exclusively on the State Fair of Texas’ online store year-round. Whether on display on your car dashboard, on the mantle at home, or on your shelf at work, these bobbleheads will always keep that “Howdy Folks!” smile and bobble their wobbly heads.
