Phinneas


Phinneas from Boo Hollow. This is from series 3 of the Paka Paka surprise capsules from Funko released in 2022. There is also a full-size Funko Pop figure that is nearly identical (except larger). Check out that tombstone skateboard shape!

Phinneas is not the first werewolf to be featured on BPA - check out the Universal Monsters figures.

Pikachu III


Pikachu returns for his 3rd appearance, this time fully poochied out in a move reminiscent of '90s Looney Tunes shirts. I don't think this is officially licensed - a bunch of these showed up in 2023 so I'm guessing that's when it is from. 

Pikachu's earlier appearances were as a figure and a pin.

Alien Rapsters




A few of these aliens were previously featured as "hip hop aliens" but I believe they were marketed as alien "rapsters." These were one of many aliens to be sold in gumball vending machines. I've finally tracked down the complete set of both skating and posing aliens so I'm making a new post. No year but guessing late 90s or early 00s.

Hoppe-Chan


Hoppe-Chan (which means "cheeks") is a series of characters that are basically blobs with rosy cheeks. There are a ton of these figures and there are a fair amount of varieties of this skateboarding figure. No year on this guy.
