Last season, we blogged about some of the most embarrassingly awful bobblehead dolls in recent hockey history, from Ken Daneyko with teeth to Eric Staal's(notes) blow-up doll face to the year-round tan on the ghostly white Brian Leetch.

Blake from Wild Nation referenced that post in sending over this image of an upcoming Mikko Koivu(notes) bobblehead doll from the Minnesota Wild, writing "I thought you'd like to see the Wild's failed attempt at capturing Mikko Koivu's likeness."

Problem No. 1: We know the economy's in the tank, and attempting to sell a thus-far pitiful product to discerning Wild fans must be difficult, but ... $25 for what's uniformly given away throughout sports? Heck, even the Los Angeles Kings are giving their fans a spiffy looking Luc Robitaille bobblehead to commemorate his Hall of Fame induction -- and that's a collector's item, for sure.

But as you can see in the full advertisement on the Minnesota Wild's Web site: The bobblehead doll actually costs more ($25) than the starting price for tickets to Wednesday night's game (Oct. 28) against the Nashville Predators ($24), when the doll will be released. Nothing says "quality entertainment" better than a sports ticket that costs less than a paperweight ...

Problem No. 2: As Blake said, this isn't exactly a Madame Tussaud's-quality likeness of the Wilds' new captain. In fact, we ran the bobblehead through the Puck Daddy supercomputer and discovered this genetic breakdown:

But hey: Great looking sweater. Not the new third jersey, which would have added a little nostalgic value to a $25 cubicle tchotchke, but a nice jersey nonetheless. Whatever you do, just don't take this Minnesota Wild bobblehead on the road -- you'll be sure to lose it.
