This weekend is the Phillie Phanatic's annual birthday celebration. And, knowing Phoebe Phanatic is on a plane enroute to Philadelphia for tomorrow night's festivities, it seems appropriate to take a look at the May, "Phanatic of the Month" Bobble Head, which is all about Mom.
The second of a planned twelve Majestic Store exclusives, the bobble advances the calendar a few weeks to Mother's Day. The mascot is standing on a gold, Phanatic head base (same one used for the April figurine) while holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and balloons in the other. At his feet is a silver, "World's Best Mom" trophy.
As we found out last month, the $50 price tag is not enough to scare away the die-hards: the Easter version sold out within a few days. And, word-is, there is an issue with shipping that is further limiting the already small 150/month production run. If you are interested in buying one of these for your mom, I recommend you make a trip to the CBP Majestic Store this weekend.
