Kansas City, MO - The Bobblehead becomes one of the first companies to offer stateside production of Bobbleheads. While majority of Bobbleheads are made in countries like China because of the relatively inexpensive labor, some clients prefer to have their Bobbleheads made locally.
The Bobblehead has its' own factory in China that makes the majority of their Bobbleheads, but now has a local factory in Seymour, MO that makes custom Bobbleheads.
While currently the price is higher to make them stateside, there are certain advantages.
1.) The sculptor understands the American culture much better, thus saving time on changes and creating a better likeness of the individual.
2.) Better communication. Changes can be discussed over the phone as opposed to email, getting a clearer idea across to the sculptor.
3.) Support the local US economy and sculptors.
4.) Save money on shipping.
5.) The Bobblehead is made out of a combination of Poly Resin and Cultured marble, native to Missouri. You can read more about it here...
