You know you've arrived as an industry icon when your company celebrates your existance with a bobblehead made in your likeness -- as JanSport did recently with company co-founder Skip Yowell.

While the limited edition Skip Yowell BobbleHead was handed out at the spring JanSport sales meeting, and only 1,000 were made, the SNEWS® team managed to get its hands on this collectible and it's now proudly displayed in our World Headquarters.

The box for the bobblehead reveals a few factoids about Skip: Bob Dylan groupie, Yak magnet, avid gardner, popcorn manufacturer, salsa distributor, dine-and-dasher, expedition sage, renaissance man, side-show wizard, advocate for the outdoors, son, brother, husband, father, friend and citizen of the world -- indeed.

Apparently, 2nd Wind had a bunch of unsold Thighmasters lying around so, being the resourceful man he is, Dick Enrico, the company's CEO thought, "melted down and reformed, these would be perfect as Bobbleheads of me."

Now, for those who have heard all about the "10-inch Dick" (you'll have to read SNEWS® for an explanation of that one if you haven't heard), or simply wanted a Dick of their very own to sit on the desk, we present the Dick Enrico Collectors Edition Bobblehead.

No, not everyone can own this Dick, but SNEWS® was lucky enough to snare one -- don't ask what we had to do.
