Mechanical Skate Board II

 A similar figure was featured here on BPA back in 2014, as one of the earlier figures I picked up. Since then I've been keeping my eye out for the girl version and finally came across her 10 years later, as part of a lot that included the blue figure below. Like the recently featured clown and bear, these 2 figures were made in Hong Kong (the red 88 boy was made in Taiwan). I believe early incarnations of this design were made in Japan with a tin body (all featured here have plastic bodies).

 

Snow Ballah

Snow Ballah is an unfortunately named "holidude" from the Tech Deck Dudes line. He was released in 2007, shortly after the line had passed from X-Concepts to Spinmaster. Unlike the previously featured limited holidude Sumo Santa, Snow Ballah was a regular issue figure available for purchase.

 

Candy Skaters

Described on a sticker as "sliding board," these 2 skaters are from 2007 and hold some jelly beans that expired in 2009. They got a pretty weird vibe going on but who am I to judge? 

Skateboard Acrobat IV

One more entry for the Skateboard Acrobats, a line of bendy figures from the late '70s by Imperial. This rabbit was made in 1979 and has a bit different face than the similar Action Animal rabbit. Previous acrobats include mouse, cat, & dog.

 

Hobie Belt Buckle

Was very happy to grab this Hobie belt buckle! I've seen one that says "skateboards, surfboards, catamarans" underneath which I've been searching for but definitely stoked on this one. No date but was made by Dynabuckle out of Provo, UT.

 

Belt Buckle XXVII

This Skate Boarding belt buckle seems to be the plainest buckle you can get to express your interest in skateboarding, and I love it. The buckle was made by BTS in the USA in 1978 and I've found 2 versions of it. 

Belt Buckle XXVI

The 2nd of 2 silhouette skateboarder vintage belt buckles, this one was made in the USA in 1978 by BTS. It's one of 2 silhouette skaters I've seen - the other I found a non-silhouette version of the same one so hoping to track down a similar one for this guy.
