The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled an official limited-edition bobblehead of Jimothy, a scrappy raccoon in Seattle who has garnered millions of fans following some recent social-media virality.
The little guy is known for his stout, rotund appearance, which is speculated to be due to a spinal deformity.
“We’re excited to unveil the first bobblehead of Jimothy, Seattle’s newest hometown hero who has a growing fan base across the nation,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a news release. “This bobblehead will be the perfect way for fans of Jimothy to show off their love and support for the pop culture icon and celebrate ‘Jimothy Summer!’”
According to the release, the bobblehead will depict Jimothy in his trademark running pose.
The unusual-looking furry celebrity has already been allotted a neighborhood mural, an honorary degree from the University of Washington, and even his own proclamation from Seattle City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck, who declared this season “Jimothy Summer.”
With thousands of eyes on the lookout for Jimothy, it’s important to note that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife recommends giving raccoons plenty of space and to not approach or feed them.
The Jimothy bobblehead is currently available for preorder and can be found here.
