One of the many different collectibles inResident Evil 3is the different Charlie Doll bobbleheads. Including bobbleheads that must be tracked down and destroyed is something of a series tradition, as 2017’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard had the Mr. Everywhere statuettes, while 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake had the Mr. Raccoon bobbleheads.
Just like in both of those games, there’s 20 bobbleheads to find and break in Resident Evil 3. We’ve got the full list of where you can find them right here. You can click or tap the images to enlarge them.

Resident Evil 3 takes Jill Valentine’s escape from Raccoon City and brings it up to modern standards, with tight gunplay and action merged with tense survival horror.
Every Charlie Doll bobblehead in Resident Evil 3
If you’re paying attention to the game’s sounds, you’ll generally have a good idea when a bobblehead is near. Each Charlie Doll makes a distinct clacking sound that will never stop. It’s subtle, but it’s there. Actually finding the little devils is another matter, as despiteknowingone of them is in the room with you, they are often hidden very effectively.
Also remember — you need to destroy the doll in order to “collect” it. Shooting works, but if possible, use your knife, as it’ll help you save ammo.
Charlie Doll #1
This bobblehead is particularly easy to miss. After Carlos saves you from Nemesis with a rocket launcher, wait until the cutscene ends. Turn around, go up the stairs and look between the newspaper stands at the entrance toRedstone Street Station.
