A bobble head sculpture comprising a base portion which is defined by an outer surface member defining an internal volume is disclosed. A spring has first and second ends. A bobbing member is mounted on the first end of the spring. A support base member is secured to the second end of the spring. The support base member is contained within the internal volume. Stuffing is contained within the internal volume. The stuffing bears against the support base member. The support base member extends to the edges of the volume at a plurality of points on the outer surface member whereby the support base member is held in a relatively stationary position by those points on the outer surface member and the stuffing. In accordance with the invention, the base portion may be the body portion of a figure and the bobbing member the head of the figure. The stuffing may comprise a mixture of plastic beads and a fibrous material. Optionally, the spring is covered by a crimped or gathered fabric sleeve. A measure of safety is provided by the inventive system by making the sculpture soft account of the nature of the stuffing disposed in the internal body.
