bobbleheads

Spring-necked collectibles

Bobbleheads are figurines with oversized heads attached by springs, causing them to wobble when touched or jostled.

They typically depict athletes, celebrities, or cartoon characters and are popular as collectibles and promotional giveaways at sporting events: I have a whole shelf of baseball bobbleheads.

The term sometimes describes people who nod along agreeably without independent thought.
