Izzy The Whatzit II

Izzy the Whatzit returns for his 2nd appearance, once again in pin form. For those of you who have forgotten, Izzy was the mascot for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA. Skateboarding was not in those Olympics, but was featured in the closing ceremony alongside BMX and roller blading.

Mickey Mouse VII

Mickey Mouse makes his 7th appearance on BPA as one of his earliest figures. This is a pull-back skateboard from 1979 branded as L'il Zips and advertised as having "fun-bouncing action." There are a couple different color combos for this guy, of which I have 2.

Nathan's Extreme Bendy

Here at BPA we go the extra mile to track down every skateboarding hot dog figure. Just when I think I have them all another pops up. This frank is from Nathan's and is from a 2004 set called "Extreme Bendies" that also featured a blader, surfer, and biker. He's fully padded up with an oversized bike helmet.

Grizz

Grizz from the Cartoon Network show We Bare Bears. I never personally got too into this show although I have watched it on occasion. This figure is a McDonald's Happy Meal toy from 2020 and was an only released overseas.
