Shohei Ohtani's newest bobblehead commemorating his legendary performance in the 2025 NLCS has already hit the secondary market on eBay, with some listings selling for over $135 each. The bobblehead, which will be given out to 54,000 fans at Dodger Stadium on Friday night, features a mini Ohtani standing on a platform that says '3 HR' - a nod to his three-homer game that clinched the series for the Dodgers. A companion bobblehead paying tribute to Ohtani's pitching in that game will be distributed at a later date.

However, a dozen or more have already appeared on eBay, with many listings priced around $135 each.
