Postal Letter Carrier Ralph Trumbo is neither an athlete nor a celebrity. Nevertheless, he has a bobblehead likeness of himself sitting on his mantel.

Bobbleheads, those shaky-headed 3-D caricatures, have jiggled free of their mass-produced roots of an earlier generation. Once merely featureless figures decked out in team colors and handed out on game day, they now depict just about anyone who wants one.

Even Trumbo, a Des Moines, Iowa, letter carrier. For Trumbo, it’s a kick to own a miniature version of himself, sitting there for all to see. From his postal uniform to his glasses and wedding ring, it’s a perfect match. “It’s one of a kind,” he said.
