I have sixteen that reside at this house. Two more live at the beach house. I haven't bought any for quite some time because I haven't found a animal I don't have.
Most of my nodders are dogs. With the exception of the Taco Bell Dog, which was new, all of my are old. The way you can tell is the head will have a large metal neck. The neck will have a small metal hook that will attach to the body and this will create the ability to nod.
If they are newer, the neck part will be plastic. Also, the older ones will have seams from the molds and the bodies will be covered in flocking. They are heavier than the new ones and once you get them nodding, they will go for quite some time. If you continue to watch them nod, you will start to feel nauseated. Just a side note that I wish I had known in the beginning.
I like the more unusual ones, like the lion or my favorite, the elephant. The elephant was a Christmas gift years ago and I have never seen another one.
The plastic cat is by far the ugliest one I own. Those rhinestone eyes are just frightening and I have no idea who would have purchased that one new. Again, it was a gift and I am not sure if the person giving it to me, actually liked me or hated me.
I have a few animals that are pin cushions with nodding heads and a few people that bob as well. But the animals are the best of the bunch.
Some are banks but most just sit and look serene until you get them bobbing away then they just look funny.
It is a fun collectible and you should give them a try. They don't need to eat or be walked and they will always agree with whatever you say.
