UConn’s mascots get their own bobblehead figures

The University of Connecticut’s canine mascot, the husky Jonathan XV, and his predecessor Jonathan XIV are the subjects of new bobbleheads being released today.

The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. The bobblehead versions of the two Jonathans stand on a UConn Huskies logo-shaped base bearing their names, and both bobbleheads feature their ocean-blue eyes and facial markings that mirror the Husky logo.

The bobbleheads are $30 each plus an $8 flat-rate shipping charge per order. Each bobblehead is individually numbered to only 2,024, and the products are sold online and are expected to ship in April.

“We’re excited to be releasing the first bobbleheads of Jonathan XIV and XV in conjunction with National Bobblehead Day,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “We know how passionate UConn fans are about their school and bobbleheads, so we expect these bobbleheads to be extremely popular.”
