Topic: New Bonabobble! . . . But are they phoning it in?

I love the Bonabobbles!  I have the first three and multiples of the first two.  I've been anticipating the next edition, and then I saw the picture in the JB Store.  What is that?  A Les Paul Jr.?  It's plain and misshapen.  Red volume knobs? The headstock is beyond weird.  And 3 strings!  Love the idea of the vintage Marshall twins, but in 24 karat gold?  And how about the paint splatter on the "stage". I hate to be negative . . . but pass.

Only 365 days until the debut of Bonabobble #5.  Maybe it will feature the Bonabyrd?

So neither of you are getting me this one for Christmas? I'm heartbroken! sad Grinches! mad

I'm open to receiving one...two...threeeee!!! big_smile big_smile big_smile

Now, I don't like the tree ornament! 3 previous bobble heads? What was the 3rd??? hmm 1 was the "classic," ...2nd was the silver suit (I pass)...was 3,... uh gold suit?  IKICNRC (not IIRC!)...

...and OH! As long as anything Joe Bonamassa (like this) sells out, IMMSSHO (decipher THAT), they are all limited editions. smile


NO BAH BAH! HACK!, I am not a Sheep, ill, All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth (again) and one to three of these here.

Hey Rock, "I Know I Can Not Recall Correctly"  ?????  No idea about the other one.........


I kinda wish all the bobbles would have used Joe's distinctive font for his name.  They're all still fun!

Welcome back, mumbletums!  I LOVE the design of the tree ornament (seriously).  It reminds me of the "HOT August Blues 2009" Joe Bonamassa...hope it doesn't set any trees afire!  Clarifying because I personally don't like tree ornaments outside of a very narrow range of themes and appearances, Jane.  IF I were one who likes all kinds of tree ornaments, and I know some are (gift coming given away for unnamed some one), I would definitely buy the ornament. 

But the Bobblehead, Senta Across, vere art you, are you glistening to me?! big_smile
