The Fantomet Bobblehead is a figurine which contains a caricature style enlarged head of the Phantom which is mounted on a spring, so that the Phantom’s head bobs up and down on his non-moving body. The Phantom is seen in his blue costume as he’s known in Norway, holding his pistols, with Devil by his side. We also see licensing information on the underside of the base.
