The figurines are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store. The cost is $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order, or the complete set can be ordered for $1,250. The Joe Biden and Donald Trump bobbleheads are in stock now, while the others are expected to ship in May. All models include the name of the president on the front of the base and their president number on the back of the base.
The United States president acts as head of the Executive Branch of government, as well as commander in chief of the armed forces. The president is responsible for carrying out the laws written by Congress and appointing the heads of federal agencies. The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the presidency – eligible candidates must be at least 35 years of age and natural-born citizens, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. The U.S. president is acknowledged as one of the most powerful people in the world, with awesome privileges and responsibilities.
The White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., is the official residence and workplace of the United States president. Construction took place between 1792 and 1800 using Aquia Creek sandstone painted white. It has been the residence of every U.S. president since John Adams in 1800. The White House was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban in the neoclassical style. He modeled the building after Leinster House in Dublin, a building which today houses the Oireachtas, the Irish legislature. The modern-day White House complex includes the Executive Residence, West Wing, East Wing, Eisenhower Executive Office Building (the former State Department, which now houses offices for the president’s staff and the vice president) and Blair House, a guest residence. In 2007, the White House was ranked second on the American Institute of Architects list of America’s Favorite Architecture.
"We’re excited to release this complete collection of bobbleheads featuring all 46 U.S. presidents to celebrate Presidents’ Day,” said National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar. “Each president played an important part in our country’s history, and we think people will enjoy this new series of presidential bobbleheads.”
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, at 170 S. 1st St. in Milwaukee, Wis., opened to the public Feb. 1, 2019. The HOF and Museum also produces high-quality, customized bobbleheads for retail sale as well as organizations, individuals and teams across the country.
