These are some blessed bobbleheads.
Two Pope Leo bobbleheads were unveiled Friday by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.
The limited-edition papal creations are on presale for $30 online and are slated to start shipping out in November.
One depicts Leo XIV, whose real name is Robert Francis Prevost, when he was first introduced to the world as pope on the Vatican balcony at St. Peter’s Square on Thursday — donning a red mozzetta and a stole over a white rochet and a pectoral cross, waving to the crowd.
