There are 20 Bobbleheads in Fallout 4. Finding every bobblehead location unlocks the “They’re Action Figures” and “They’re Not Dolls” trophy / achievement. Each of these collectibles also earns you a new perk or increases one of your special skills. So instead of just being collectibles, they actually provide useful bonuses and make you stronger.
None of them are missable! Some require you to have beaten certain quests, but you can still go back to all areas later on. In your inventory under “Misc” you can see exactly which ones you have found. Each bobblehead has its own name, making it easy to keep track.
You can find most of them right after the game starts, but they are in high-level areas. If you put the game on very easy and bring lots of healing items you should be able to run past the enemies (except where you must kill someone for a keycard etc.). If you don’t want to take any risks, wait till you are level 25 and you should be able to get them without much trouble.
