As we head full steam ahead towards the postseason, the Mets look to do what they have not done since 1986, capture a World Series Championship. They certainly have the team to do it this year, with perhaps the two best starting pitchers topping the rotation and a balanced lineup that’s proven time and time again this year that no moment is too big for them. Whether or not they win the fall classic time will tell, but if they do, this Mets team could go down as one of the most beloved in franchise history.
As of now, that title undoubtedly goes to the 1986 World Series Champion Mets team that featured team legends like Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling. To honor this iconic team, FOCO has just released a New York Mets 1986 World Series Mini Bobble Set that features 8 members of the aforementioned team. The set includes Darryl Strawberry, Ron Darling, Mookie Wilson, Howard Johnson, Keith Hernandez, Dwight Gooden, Gary Carter, and Ray Knight.
The 1986 season had too many memorable moments to mention. A dominant regular season saw the team amass a franchise record 108 wins making them among the favorites to win the World Series. In Game 5 of the NLCS Keith Hernandez had a huge walk-off single to propel the Mets to victory. Then in Game 6 of the World Series one of the iconic moments in MLB history occurred when Ray Knight scored the winning run on a Bill Buckner error. He was then named World Series MVP.
Each of the mini bobbleheads stand at 4in tall but still have the intricate detail that FOCO’s standard size bobbleheads have. They feature the players positioned in action poses while they have the classic Mets uniforms. They stand atop a World Series themed base with the trophy beside them and their names displayed in front.
The set will be exclusive to FOCO, retail for $150, and be limited to 360 units making this set highly collectible. This one will likely go quickly so don’t miss the chance to add it to your collection.
FOCO also dropped a collection of 4 New York Mets Black Jersey Bobbleheads featuring Jeff McNeil, Adam Ottavino, Carlos Carrasco, and Mark Canha. You can get the New York Mets 1986 World Series Mini Bobble Set and Mets Black Jersey Collection here!
