Kickstarter Launches First Ever Rocky Horror Show Bobbleheads

A New Era for Fans of The Rocky Horror Show

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has recently announced the launch of an exciting Kickstarter campaign, aiming to produce the very first bobbleheads representing characters from the beloved musical, "Rocky Horror Show." This campaign kicked off on September 25, 2026, and is set to last until Halloween, October 31, 2026. With a target of raising $15,000, the project is anticipated to attract fans eagerly looking to add unique memorabilia to their collections.

This collection features seven bobbleheads modeled after the original 1973 stage version of the show, all of which lay the groundwork for the cult classic film, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Some of the highlights of this collection include a Kickstarter-exclusive bobblehead of Dr. Frank N Furter, as well as figures of other popular characters: Rocky, Brad, Janet, Magenta, Riff Raff, and Columbia. It’s exciting to note that these characters have become synonymous with the campiness and theatrics that the show is known for.

What makes this collection even more compelling is that the figures come with a special twist: the only way to obtain the Dr. Frank N Furter bobblehead is by backing this Kickstarter campaign. This particular bobblehead stands on a vibrant red circular base, adorned with the iconic "Rocky Horror" logo, and features Frank N Furter dressed in his unforgettable outfit—black corset, fishnet stockings, pearls, high-heeled shoes—all of which resonate deeply with fans of the series. This release comes at a poignant time, as the character’s creator, Tim Curry, passed away on August 25, 2026, making this bobblehead not just a collectible, but also a tribute to the man who brought him to life.

The Rocky Horror Show first premiered in June 1973 at London's Royal Court Theatre, thanks to the creative vision of Richard O'Brien, whose fascination with B-movie science fiction and horror set the tone for the show. What began as an underground production seemed to manifest into a cultural phenomenon, culminating in the iconic film adaptation "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" released in 1975. Over the years, it has garnered a reputation as the longest-running theatrical release in film history, showcasing a dedicated fan base and a legacy that continues to thrive.

Phil Sklar, co-founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, expressed enthusiasm about the campaign, stating, "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. These bobbleheads are the perfect way for fans of 'Rocky Horror' to show off their love for their favorite characters." Collectors can purchase these bobbleheads for $30 each, plus shipping. Even those who may not wish to own a bobblehead are encouraged to support the campaign with contributions starting as low as $1.

As fans rally together to support this campaign, the anticipation surrounding the bobbleheads grows, further connecting the legacy of The Rocky Horror Show with its devoted audience. Interested backers can find further details on the Kickstarter page where they can secure their place in history by participating in a campaign that seeks to deliver tangible pieces of a cultural phenomenon directly to their doorsteps. It’s a fantastic opportunity for both long-time admirers and newcomers to embrace the quirky magic that only The Rocky Horror Show can inspire.
