  As the nation’s official repository for military records, the National Archives preserves many incredible stories of heroes, and it also includes superheroes. Published in 1939, Batman #1 was an exhibit in a 1940 copyright case titled Fox Publications, Inc., v. Detective Comics, Inc., Independent News Co., Inc., and Interborough News Co. Represented. 

Bobbleheads gained popularity in the United States in the 1960s when Major League Baseball commissioned papier-mâché and ceramic bobbleheads of four baseball players: Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Willie Mays. Bobbleheads soon became popular for other sports as well as cartoon characters. Advances in construction techniques and materials, as well as the use of plastic instead of ceramic and other fragile substances, have enabled the mass production of current-day bobbleheads as durable collectible items.
