Head Knockers??? Really? Was there some official statement changing the names of these things to Head Knockers? I always thought that they were called "Bobble Head Dolls" because well... they bobble around.

It took me awhile to figure out what was meant by "Bobble Heads" when the craze hit the market in the 1990s. Then I realized they were the same thing as what we called "Nodders" way back in the 1970s because well... they nod. Frankly, I never liked the things (regardless of their names). I've always found those oversized heads on those tiny bodies to be a bit disconcerting.

I always thought they were called "Knockers" because well... they are tits!! Yo, these look damn sweet, hopefully I can get both of them if they ain't 2 expensive. The Dark Knight can't come soon enough. Harvey Dent is supposed to give out a speech on Sunday I believe on of the websites, don't know if they'll actually show it but keep a look out if you are interested.

That Joker Bobblehead looks freaky. That`s going to give some kid nightmares, fo shizzel If anyone wants to check out the contents of those weird Bowling Alley prizes the TDK site was talking about , go to empireonline. Some lucky schmuck got one at some Bowling Alley in London.

I really have no idea of what to say about these as products for a tie-in. Kinda freaked out when looking at them.

I believe "Head Knockers" is simply a brand name of the bobbleheads figures. Anyways, I love the Joker one. I'll have to find it somewhere cheap.

Anyone see that Dark Knight of the Bat documentary linked at the top?

Nah, I haven't. I checked out over on Amazon and they got it like a cd, so you know you can probably download it if you are interested.
