bobblehead

Spring-necked collectible

A bobblehead is a collectible figurine with an oversized head attached by a spring, causing it to wobble when touched or jostled.

Most depict athletes, celebrities, or fictional characters, often given away at sporting events: I got a free bobblehead at the baseball game.

The nodding motion can suggest mindless agreement: Don't be a bobblehead—think for yourself.
