Over the years, the Dodgers have honored the great Sandy Koufax with three bobblehead giveaways. They also had another Koufax bobblehead they gave out, which I think is the best one the Dodgers have ever done. However, that was given out to season ticket holders. With this list being specifically for stadium giveaways, another Koufax bobblehead cracks the list.
With that being said, the best Koufax bobblehead the Dodgers have given away came on August 3, 2015.

The bobblehead pays tribute to his perfect game that his threw against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, September 9, 1965.
As I’ve mentioned, I absolutely love it when bobbleheads have extra detail in them. Replicating Koufax’s windup is great, but having the scoreboard in the background is what solidifies this bobblehead as one of the best.
It’s a perfect replica of the scoreboard from Dodger Stadium on that night.

Though there’s no footage of the perfect game, listen to VIn Scully’s iconic call from it.
