Bartolo Colon Home Run Bobblehead Also Features Shaking Belly

Bobbleheads: the ultimate commemorative sports memorabilia. 

Fun as they may be, however, the tribute figurines have a tendency to fall short of striking their namesake's likeness (see the Washington Wizards' John Wall). 

Not so for Bartolo Colon.

In honor of the 42-year-old New York Met becoming the most senior pitcher ever to hit his first home run, Forever Collectibles plans to release a bobblehead of the Dominican American posed in the follow-through of his swing. The statuette features Colon atop a newspaper announcing his achievement in front of the Citi Field home run apple (the actual home run was May 7 in San Diego at Petco Park). 

But the detail and cranial animation are not what define this special piece. True to his Big Sexy form, the figure will also playfully feature a bobbling belly.

The collector's item game may never be the same.
