Chuck E. Cheese Bobblehead Unveiled to Celebrate National Bobblehead DayChuck E. Cheese Bobblehead Unveiled to Celebrate National Bobblehead Day

To coincide with National Bobblehead Day on Jan. 7, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled the first bobblehead featuring the Munch’s Make Believe Band from Chuck E. Cheese. The main character of the band, Charles Entertainment Cheese, or Chuck E. Cheese for short, is one of the most recognized and cherished characters in the United States. The officially licensed, limited-edition singing bobblehead includes the animatronic band that retired from all but five Chuck E. Cheese locations in 2024. 

Since 1989, the chain of family entertainment centers and restaurants has been home to the band featuring Chuck E. Cheese, Helen Henny, Mr. Munch, Jasper T. Jowls and Pasqually P. Pieplate. In addition, a bobblehead featuring the current Chuck E. Cheese was also unveiled. The new bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Chuck E. Cheese. 

Standing on a rectangular stage base, the five characters are positioned in front of a backdrop that includes the Munch’s Make-Believe Band logo. Chuck E. Cheese and Helen are standing next to each other holding microphones, Mr. Munch is in the middle of the group seated behind a keyboard, Jasper is sitting on a speaker while playing a guitar and Pasqually is sitting behind a set of drums.

"We’re excited to unveil this replica singing bobblehead of ‘Munch’s Make Believe Band’ – a staple at Chuck E. Cheese for nearly 40 years,” says Phil Sklar, co-founder and chief executive officer, National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “When Chuck E. Cheese announced that the band would be retired from most locations, we knew that a bobblehead replica of the band would be the perfect way for fans to be able to commemorate Mr. Munch’s iconic Make-Believe Band.” 

“The power of the Chuck E. Cheese brand is its undeniable multi-generation love and appeal,” says Melissa McLeanas, vice president, global licensing, media and entertainment, CEC Entertainment. “As we continue to grow and evolve with our families, our licensed merchandise program is a way to bring our iconic characters to fans of all ages from each era of our legacy and we are excited to join the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame with both Chuck E. Cheese and his bandmates.” 

The bobbleheads, which will be individually numbered to 2,025, are available exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store.
