    A lot of big names appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention, including former President Donald Trump , vice presidential nominee and Ohio U.S. Sen. JD Vance , and American wrestler Hulk Hogan .

    And there was one big dog who stole the show: Babydog . The English bulldog sat on her own armchair while her owner, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, gave his speech Tuesday night.

    Now, RNC attendees and fans of Babydog can get a unique souvenir to commemorate her fame. Mere hours after the convention ended , the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee announced it is producing the first Babydog bobblehead.

    “Already popular among West Virginians, Babydog added many more people to her growing fan club with her appearance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee," museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a press release.

    Only 2,024 bobbleheads will be made and are only sold online. Pre-orders are available now, but the bobbleheads aren't expected to ship until December. Each bobblehead is $30 with a $8 shipping fee per order.

    The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum also created 2,024 red, white and blue elephant bobbleheads for the RNC. The elephant bobbleheads are still in stock, according to the museum's website .

    The museum offered a commemorative donkey when Milwaukee was selected to host the Democratic National Convention in 2020, though the conventions were mostly-virtual that year due to the pandemic. The museum also offers a donkey bobblehead for this year's DNC, held in Chicago from Aug. 19 to 22.
