The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has launched a Kickstarter Campaign to produce the first-ever “Rocky Horror Show” bobbleheads. Inspired by Richard O’Brien’s original 1973 stage production—which later spawned the iconic 1975 film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”—the line features seven fan-favorite characters.
The collection includes Brad, Janet, Magenta, Riff Raff, Columbia, Rocky, and an exclusive Dr. Frank N. Furter figure reserved strictly for campaign backers. Standing on a red circular base featuring the logo and character name, the Frank N. Furter figure comes outfitted in his signature black corset, fishnets, briefs, pearl necklace, and platform heels—the iconic look popularized on stage and screen by Tim Curry.
The campaign aims to raise $15,000 and runs through midnight CT on Halloween, Oct. 31. Individual bobbleheads are available for a $30 pledge, with additional exclusive add-ons and lower-tier support options starting at $1.
“We’re excited to launch this Kickstarter campaign to produce the first ‘Rocky Horror Show’ Bobbleheads celebrating the iconic characters that so many people have come to know and love over the past 50-plus years,” said Phil Sklar, co-founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “These bobbleheads are the perfect way for fans of ‘Rocky Horror’ to show off their love for their favorite characters.”
Production runs will be limited strictly to demand generated during the campaign window, making the backer-exclusive Frank-N-Furter collectible unavailable through traditional retail later on.
First premiering at London’s Royal Court Theatre in June 1973, O’Brien’s campy, genre-bending homage to B-movie horror and science fiction quickly grew from a small fringe production into a global cultural phenomenon. The story follows stranded sweethearts Brad and Janet as they seek refuge in the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank N. Furter, stumbling into a wild world of rock ‘n’ roll, eccentric houseguests, and mad science.
