As the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies begin an intriguing series Tuesday, FOCO released a new dual bobblehead of Shohei Ohtani and Bryce Harper.
The design is similar to two different versions that paired Ohtani with Aaron Judge when the Dodgers faced the New York Yankees last month. The Ohtani and Juge bobblehead was available in home and road uniforms, and sold at the Yankee Stadium store in addition to online.
For their latest bobblehead, FOCO has Harper in a home Phillies uniform and Ohtani dressed in the Dodgers’ road gray. Both players are in an action pose of completing a swing and set atop a base with Citizens Bank Park in the background.

The backdrop includes a “BATTLE OFF BROAD STREET” text display to further signal where the Dodgers and Phillies are playing their three-game set this week. The Phillies head into the matchup with a 58-32 record that has them 3.5 games ahead of the Dodgers (55-36) for the top seed in the NL.
While Ohtani had been expected to be in the Dodgers lineup, Harper was just activated off the 10-day injured list after missing time because of a left hamstring strain.
The 31-year-old was the leading vote-getter in the National League as he earned an eighth career All-Star Game selection. Harper is among seven Phillies All-Stars, which is a franchise record.
Ohtani was part of six Dodgers selected to the All-Star Game, good for second-most in baseball this year. The Cleveland Guardians lead the AL with five All-Star selections.

Although Ohtani put together an impressive stretch, Harper was named NL Player of the Month for June.
