Youngstown's lifesize Trump bobblehead ready to put Valley on 3-D map at RNC

YOUNGSTOWN

The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber expects to draw the attention of those at the Republican National Convention with its 7-foot-tall, 300-pound, 3-D-printed Donald Trump bobblehead.

The bobblehead – silver from hair to toe – was unveiled Friday and made its way later that day to Cleveland for the convention.

It will be in the convention’s “secure zone” near Quickens Loans Arena, where the RNC will be, said Guy Coviello, the chamber’s vice president of governmental affairs. That means only delegates and those with access to that area will be able to see it.

It will stay there until Friday, the day after Republicans officially nominate their presidential candidate.

The unique item will “highlight the Mahoning Valley as the leader in 3-D printing,” Coviello said.

The bobblehead has received international attention from media in Asia and the Netherlands.

It is valued at $35,000.
