Snoopy & Friend on Skateboard

 



 

The Peanuts gang returns with another set of skateboard figures, most of them previously seen in Peanuts Skate N Surf and Peanuts Mini Skateboard. This set features two figures per board, skating in tandem. Most just have Woodstock sitting up front but the WWI flying ace gets a new sculpt of Charlie Brown sitting down and one Charlie Brown gets both Snoopy & Woodstock sitting up front (probably how it would go in real life). There are few different copyrights for these figures and they have "Made in Hong Kong" printed on the bottom so I believe they are probably late 70s.

Mickey Mouse X


Mickey Mouse returns to BPA for his 10th appearance. This time as a fairly recent figure - from the Disney Junior Mickey mini figure blind capsule series 1, released in 2020. This set featured a variety of characters from the Mickey Mouse clubhouse (which I have been exposed to through my niblings). This was the only skating figure though.

Donald Duck XI

Donald Duck returns for his 11th appearance on BPA. This figure was part of a 4-piece set labeled "Disney Heroes" and sold exclusively at Disney parks. The set was rounded out by the usual Mickey & Goofy joined by Stitch. I had a tough time nailing down a year for these guys, but found a blog post from 2014 where someone went to a disney store outlet and found these guys, so probably shortly before that. Similar to Tech Deck Dudes these figures are attached to their boards with magnets. Disney had previously teamed up with Tech Deck Dudes to release Mickey and Stitch as magnetic figures in the mid-2000s.
