Milverine Bobblehead with a Cause Unveiled

On Milwaukee Day (4/14), the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a limited edition bobblehead featuring Milwaukee icon John Hamann, who is better known as “Milverine”. Hamann is frequently spotted around town by awestruck onlookers and received his nickname due to his resemblance to Hugh Jackman’s Marvel Comics character “Wolverine”. The limited edition bobblehead, which is authorized by Milverine, is being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

Standing on a base bearing his famous nickname, the bobblehead features a shirtless and stone-faced Hamann walking with a purpose down the street. The bobbleheads, which are individually numbered to only 4,140, are available exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads cost $25 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order and are expected to ship in June. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum will be donating five dollars from every bobblehead sold to the Wisconsin Humane Society, Milverine’s charity of choice.
