WM figures





I have no info on these guys. They have a WM mark on the back. I think they were probably vending machine figures. I'm not even 100% sure they actually came with skateboards or if those were paired with them later. The one dude has a helmet so I'm thinking the skateboards belong to them.

Agro


Agro, the muppet-like host of an Australian's kids show (Agro's Cartoon Connection) that aired from 1989-1997. This figure is a 1989 premium from that Aussie fast food chain Hungry Jack's.

Shamu

Shamu, Seaworld's killer whale, seen here riding a skateboard somehow. Gotta love it. The original Shamu lived at Seaworld from 1965 to her death in 1971. The Shamu name continued for different Orcas until the shows stopped in the 2010s. No date on this guy but anecdotal sources have 1987 & 1989 on similar figures (including a surfing Shamu and a racecar driving Shamu).

Molly My Childhood


Molly My Childhood X Pop Mart 2021 skateboarding figure titled "Never Gave Up." Pop Mart seems to be coming out with a ton of figures from different series that include a skateboarder. They probably won't all make it here but I'll post 'em if I get 'em.

Skateboard Acrobat II


The Skateboard Acrobat returns, this time in cat form (you can be forgiven thinking this might be a fox or dog). I'm not sure what other animals might be out here in the skateboard acrobat or action animal lines, but so far we've seen a giraffe, rabbit, dog, & mouse.
