Brooklyn teen creates world's largest bobblehead, 16 ft. tall, hoping for Guinness World Record
|
Henry Ermer has constructed what is believed to be the world's largest bobblehead at 16 ft tall.
When Henry Ermer thinks big, he thinks really big. The 14-year-old high school freshman has built what is believed to be the largest bobblehead in the world outside his home in East Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn.
Standing 16 feet tall, the huge figure, which started out as a Jerry Seinfeld look-alike but has since taken a more general male form, took more than a year to build out of PVC piping, chicken wire, fabric papier-maché and springs.
"Last summer, I hadn't done anything except hang out and watch TV and I thought I should probably do something," said Henry, who is starting Edward R. Murrow High School.
"The world's largest bobblehead was my favorite record in the Guinness Book of World Records, so I decided to try and top it."
The figure's body alone stands 11 feet off the ground, equaling the previous record for world's largest bobblehead, a replica of game-show host Chuck Woolery built by the Game Show Network in 2003.
