The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a Lionel Trains® Bobblehead Collection to celebrate the American toy train brand’s 125th Anniversary. The bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Lionel Trains LLC.
The four limited-edition bobbleheads feature Lionel’s long-time mascot, Lenny. Lenny the Lion is named in honor of Lenny Dean, a longtime employee and well-known figure in the toy train hobby. Dean, who was also known as “Mr. Lionel” and “Goodwill Ambassador,” had a career that spanned over six decades, starting from the assembly line and culminating in his role as a spokesperson and diplomat.
The first bobblehead is a vintage Lenny, wearing a yellow bandana and holding a toy locomotive, while the second bobblehead features the current Lenny. Two 125th anniversary bobbleheads featuring Lenny in a tuxedo and top hat are also available.
The bobbleheads are individually numbered to 2,025, available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store.
The bobbleheads cost $35 each for the three Lenny Bobbleheads and $40 for the Lenny 125th Anniversary Sign Bobblehead, plus $8 shipping. A set of four is available for $140. Estimated delivery in January 2026.
“We’re excited to unveil the first officially licensed bobbleheads of Lenny in celebration of Lionel’s 125th anniversary,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “An American icon, the popularity of Lionel Trains has spanned generations and these bobbleheads will be a must-have for Lionel fans everywhere!”
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, located at 170 S. 1st St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, opened in 2019. The HOF and Museum also produces customized bobbleheads for retail sale.
