Modern Vintage SGAs

Browsing Ebay recently, I noticed that a few teams have offered SGA bobbleheads that mimic the vintage nodders of the 1960s.  I have seen these pieces for the Twins, Brewers and Phillies.  I also know that the Marlins did one of these back in the early 2000s as they had a paucity of established and historical players to choose from.

It would be really neat to see these for every team.  They bear a great resemblance to the 1960s nodders, are comparably inexpensive, and are not burdened with chipped paint and other wear.  If anyone knows of other teams that have issued these I would love to know about them.  I would also like to know which company produced them.  Share any info in the comments below and I will follow up.  Here are images of these neat pieces.

EDIT: I added the vintage mascot SGA done by the Cardinals on August 8, 2016.
