Snoopy Free Wheeling Action Skateboard




The Peanuts gang returns with an extended group of figures. In addition to Snoopy,Charlie Brown, WWI Flying Ace, and Joe Cool we get both Linus and Lucy (but no Woodstock this time). These were marketed as "Snoopy Free Wheeling Action Skateboard" and came in 2-packs with the match-ups above. These were made in 1985. Most unusual is the last pair: Charlie Brown and Snoopy as cowboy and Indian. Quite an odd choice to toss in especially when there are so many other characters. Would've much rather had a Peppermint Patty and Marcie pack. Another unusual choice is the outfit for both Snoopy and Joe Cool. Snoopy in a bow tie looking like some carnival barker and Joe Cool losing his standard yellow "Joe Cool" shirt for a striped "S" shirt. At any rate, it's a pretty neat set but unfortunately only came with 1 skateboard per pack.

Bart Simpson XIII

Bart Simpson returning for his 13th appearance, which is beginning to challenge Snoopy as the king of skate toys. Snoopy has some appearance in Peanuts sets so that gives him the extra numbers. This was a keychain from 1999. He's once again wearing that blue shirt. There are numerous theories on why so many toys have bart in blue. Maybe someone will find the truth someday. 

Check the Simpsons tag for more Bart.

Goofy VII

Goofy's 7th appearance on BPA comes in pin form, as a 2020 collab between Disney and Adidas. I think this came with a sweatshirt featuring Goofy playing a variety of sports. Curiously he's not wearing Adidas in this image.

Check the Disney tag for previous Goofy appearances.

Best Spuds


Best Spuds are 2 skating potatoes from the Oh! My Gif season 1 blind box series released in 2019. There is a 5th wheel on the bottom that turns a gear which makes the lead spud push and the 2nd spud hold on.

Check out the new "tandem" tag for other double riders.
