Grateful Dead but make it red, white and blue!
In the days leading up to Independence Day, Grateful Dead has teamed up with merchandise company Kollectico to launch an officially licensed patriotic bobblehead to rep the stars and stripes. The Grateful Dead 4th of July Dancing Bear Bobblehead features a blue bear rocking an Uncle Sam-inspired hat and patriotic sunglasses, while waving an American flag in the air.
There are fittingly only 1,776 of the handmade bobbleheads available worldwide (in honor of the year the U.S. gained independence), and each one is numbered, making this a true collector’s piece for Grateful Dead fans and merch collectors alike. Each one also comes in a collectible box.
Great for your desk, to display on a bookshelf or for a side table, the Grateful Dead 4th of July Dancing Bear Bobblehead is available now on Etsy here for $49.95. Previous Grateful Dead bobblehead releases have sold out quickly so we recommend adding to cart now.
The 4th of July bobblehead is the latest in a string of officially licensed Grateful Dead bobbleheads available online. Another popular seller has been a Terrapin Station licensed bobblehead, available now on Amazon. Only 1,977 bobbleheads are being made worldwide to represent the year the album was released, and each item is individually numbered.
Other Grateful Dead collaborations in recent months include a set of boho-style surf blankets, a phone case collection with Casely and a Grateful Dead Igloo cooler set — perfect for summer.
