Boston's Brockton Rox Create "Bobble Ankle" Doll..!

Here's another example of creative people using "Bobble Technology" to bobbleize other parts of the body... this time making a Bobble-Ankle Doll!

"...The management of the Brockton Rox felt that one of their best promotions last year was the Grady Little 'bobble-arm doll' giveaway in which the likeness of the former Red Sox manager makes the signal to the bullpen he should have made in Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series with the Yankees.

The Rox figure they have come up with something even better for this year. Certainly, the Schilling 'Bobble-ankle doll' will at least bring local baseball fans a lot more positive memory, that of Schilling helping pitch the Red Sox to their first world championship in 86 years despite a torn tendon in his right ankle that required surgery during the offseason.

The doll is the likeness of Schilling delivering a pitch to the plate, complete with his bloody sock that became famous during the postseason last October. Rather than the head bobbling, as is the case with most bobble-head dolls, or the arm in the case of Little, it is Schilling's right ankle which bobbles.

'I thought it came out great,' said Lucas on Monday. 'It definitely exceeded our expectations. We really wanted to capture the spirit of what the Red Sox accomplished, to say thank you to the team for the thrills they gave us, for their perseverance and the inspiration they gave us and the unabashed joy they brought to millions.'

The figurines will cost $25, with $12.50 of each sale benefitting Curt's Pitch for ALS and the SHADE Foundation. They can be purchased, beginning Wednesday at 8 a.m., either by calling the Rox at 508-559-7005, or by visiting www.bobbleankle.com.

The Rox, in conjunction with Brockton Hospital, are spearheading sales of the figurine..."
