John Green bobblehead

merch · in 11 videos (2009–2016)

The John Green bobblehead was Hank and the Nerdfighters' birthday present to John; 500 were made and nearly all sold. Signed and spare bobbleheads were later auctioned and raffled for charities such as Malaria No More and charity: water. DFTBA.com now sells Bobble John alongside Bobble Hank, so viewers can get a set of both.
