Belt Buckle XVI


No markings on this guy, just a straight forward vintage skateboard belt buckle.

Super Dolly


Super Dolly from YOLO toys, the same company that brought you the Super Mack skateboarding hamburger. This guy was made in 1989 and, like Super Mack, promises you "hard action" such as "sliding, listing, whirling, jumping, etc." The box art is pretty rad, with Dolly sporting a flipped up hat on the cover and a ramp in the background. The side looks like he might be thinking about a smith grind.

Tech Deck Dudes


Tech Deck Dudes came back in 2019 with these smaller figures, which I personally like better than the original (although the original line partnered with some skate companies to make figures for World Industries, Pig Wheels, Blind, and Toy Machine). I found these guys on clearance and picked up a bunch, although it's not a complete set.

Tweety & Kitty


These two were part of a double charm from 2002. This may seem like an odd pairing but there are apparently a bunch of things featuring the two of these.

Mickey Mouse VI


Mickey Mouse street plant statue. This is from Disney World and it is about 9" high. There's a bobble point at his waist so his lower body and board bobble when moved. The wheels actually spin, which is a bit strange since he can't roll on 'em.

Da Bowl Belt Buckle


Da Bowl belt buckle from 1977. This is made by Progressive Skateboards, a company & team out of Atlanta Georgia in the 1970s. There are a handful of pics of these dudes up on Instagram and they look like rippers.

Funky Fruit


This figure is from a Munch Bunch Funky Fruit set. It was pretty obvious what fruits all the other figures were but I'm not sure on this one. I guess a raisin or prune? The Munch Bunch book set has a skateboarding black currant but they are definitely more rounded than this dude.
