PHILADELPHIA — Gritty took Philadelphia, and later the nation by storm, when he made his debut in September 2018. And now, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has launched four new, officially licensed, limited-edition Gritty Philadelphia Flyers bobbleheads available for sale.

Among the special bobbleheads are a St. Patrick's Day Gritty, Gritty in a boxing ring (Rocky vibes anyone?) and two of the largest Gritty bobbleheads ever made that stand at 3 feet tall and cost $800

Gritty’s bobbleheads have been among the most popular hockey bobbleheads ever offered by the Hall of Fame and Museum, according to the organization.

The other two bobbleheads are only for the biggest Gritty fans as they measure a whopping three feet tall and retail for $800.

The first 3-foot Gritty Bobblehead was produced by FOCO for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum and is individually numbered to only 10.

Produced by Kollectico, the other 3 footer features Gritty holding a pretzel and cheesesteak. Classic.

Gritty’s first bobblehead, featuring the furry mascot in the orange Flyers jersey, was released at the end of September and quickly sold out. Shortly thereafter, a second edition featuring Gritty in his black jersey was released. A limited number of those bobbleheads remain available for pre-order.

At the end of November, three special edition Gritty bobbleheads were released, with the Wrecking Ball and Liberty Bell editions sold out and a very limited number of the Boxing Steps bobbleheads available for pre-order. Those bobbleheads are shipping to customers in mid-March.

"The excitement for Gritty and his bobbleheads has been phenomenal, and in just five months since his October 2018 debut, Gritty has had more bobbleheads than several NHL mascots have had in their long lives," said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. "It’s been fun to see fans reactions to Gritty and his bobbleheads, and we think fans will love these new ones."
