Animated Character Toy Appraisal

Shrek Head Bobblehead/Toy

This item is a novelty toy or bobblehead featuring the head of Shrek, the animated character from DreamWorks Animation. It is predominantly bright lime green, characteristic of Shrek's skin tone. The material appears to be molded plastic or a similar lightweight composite, given its smooth, slightly glossy finish. The head features Shrek's iconic facial expression, with a wide, open-mouthed smile revealing a row of off-white, slightly jagged teeth. His prominent nose is centrally located, and his distinctive brown eyebrows are raised. The eyes are cartoonishly rendered, with white sclera, blue irises, and black pupils, looking slightly upward and to the left. On either side of his head are his characteristic tubular, short, and slightly tapered green 'ears' or 'ogre horns'. Attached to the back of the head is a brown, rectangular piece with a textured, brick-like or stone-like pattern, suggesting it might be part of a larger structure or a decorative element like a chimney. The overall construction appears mass-produced, likely for children or collectors. There are no visible significant condition issues such as cracks, chips, or major paint loss; the surface appears relatively clean and intact. The item's condition suggests it is in good, possibly gently used or new, condition. Given its nature as a character-based item, it likely dates from the early 2000s or later, coinciding with the release and popularity of the Shrek film franchise. Quality indicators suggest it is a standard promotional or licensed toy, not a high-end collectible.
