Here Comes Dr. Tran... As A Bobblehead?
by Brian Szabelski on 05/19/2008 6 comments

Yes, you read that right! The greatest action hero ever known, Dr. Tran himself, is now available in bobblehead form. And if you don't know who Dr. Tran is... what rock have you been living under for the past four years?

Dr. Tran is the star of a series of animated shorts from Lone Sausage Productions, most notably the Internet-famous 2003 short "Here Comes Dr. Tran." The series quickly caught on for their sometimes bizarre humor and the fact that Dr. Tran was just a poor little boy being harassed by a booming voice-over, the kind you always see in summer blockbuster movie trailers. Heck, he's so popular, he even has his own MySpace.

The Dr. Tran bobbleheads come to us from the folks at Symbiote Studios, perhaps also known for their Jessica Chobot statue. There are two different designs, one featuring the regular Tran, and the other featuring him as a "Moccodity." Fellow fans of the animated shorts will know exactly where that comes from. The 6.5" tall Tran bobblehead isn't too expensive at only $10, but there are 250 of them. That's it.

If you want one of your own, check out the preorders for both the regular and special edition bobbleheads. As the Web site says, "own Dr. Tran today or live a completely unfullfilled life!" Couldn't agree better myself.
