Lifesize Ben Wallace Bobblehead

Found October 29, 2009 on First Cuts:
PLAYERS: Ben Wallace
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons

Pisotnswallace_e1f9
WHY YOU NEED IT: If anyone deserves his own lifesize bobblehead, Ben Wallace deserves one. The man made himself one of the dominant defenders in the NBA even though, paraphrasing his words, when he went to his first NBA workouts, coaches told him he was so small he couldn't possibly play center. Too bad this statue is missing Wallace's trademark afro. For accuracy's sake, he tends to rock the 'fro at home and go with braids on the road, so as to cut down on the people yelling at him about his hair. In lifesize bobbleheads, as in many aspects of life, details are key. PRICE: $9,000 BUY IT NOW: Life Size Ben Wallace Bobblehead Have a product that you think should be featured on FirstCuts?
