Remember UGA X With A Bobblehead

You can now remember UGA X with a bobblehead.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead of UGA X. The bobblehead was created to honor the beloved University of Georgia mascot who passed away in January.

UGA X, also known as Que, debuted in 2015. And he retired as the winningest mascot in Georgia history at the end of the 2022 season.

The bobbleheads are a perfect way to honor and celebrate UGA X’s life. They were produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Georgia.

The bobbleheads are available at The Red Zone and The Clubhouse in Athens.  The first batch is expected to sell out early based on presale numbers with a second batch expected to arrive in May. You may try clicking here to see if any are still available.

Standing on a University of Georgia logo base, bearing the name of UGA X on the front and Que on the back, the bobblehead has its tongue out and is wearing a custom-made jersey.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to only 2,023 to commemorate the year UGA XI took over from UGA X.

The bobbleheads are $30 each, plus a flat rate of $8 for shipping.

Phil Sklar, the co-founder of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum says, “Bobbleheads are the ultimate way to honor and celebrate a person or mascot, and we think this bobblehead of UGA X is the perfect tribute.”  Sklar goes on to say, “UGA X is loved throughout the state of Georgia and well beyond by Bulldog fans, alumni, students, faculty, staff and community members who had the privilege of watching and interacting with the beloved bulldog for many years.”

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is located at 170 S. 1^st St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  It opened to the public in February of 2019.
