GREEN GOBLIN BOBBLE HEAD

Beware his pumpkin bombs of wrath! Normon Osborn was never really a great dad, and when he flipped out and became the Green Goblin he just went out of his way to be a bad person! He tried to blow up his son's friends (and his son) after a science experiment went crazy, and now he's cursed with amazing powers and a terribly goofy purple hat. Standing 6' tall, this bobble head is modeled after the character's comic appearances.

LIZARD BOBBLE HEAD
11.99

Sometimes science is about 'coulda,' and not 'shoulda'! Peter Parker's professor Dr. Curt Conners found out the hard way that sometimes it's not a good ideal to experiment on yourself.

This 6' plastic bobble head is based off the character from the comics, down to his purple trunks and scaley skin. Order yours before he dashes off into the sewers!
