Izzy The Whatzit II

Izzy the Whatzit returns for his 2nd appearance, once again in pin form. For those of you who have forgotten, Izzy was the mascot for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA. Skateboarding was not in those Olympics, but was featured in the closing ceremony alongside BMX and roller blading.

 

Mickey Mouse VII

Mickey Mouse makes his 7th appearance on BPA as one of his earliest figures. This is a pull-back skateboard from 1979 branded as L'il Zips and advertised as having "fun-bouncing action." There are a couple different color combos for this guy, of which I have 2.

 

Nathan's Extreme Bendy

Here at BPA we go the extra mile to track down every skateboarding hot dog figure. Just when I think I have them all another pops up. This frank is from Nathan's and is from a 2004 set called "Extreme Bendies" that also featured a blader, surfer, and biker. He's fully padded up with an oversized bike helmet.

Grizz

Grizz from the Cartoon Network show We Bare Bears. I never personally got too into this show although I have watched it on occasion. This figure is a McDonald's Happy Meal toy from 2020 and was an only released overseas.

 

Bart Simpson XIII

Bart is getting up there with Snoopy and Garfield as one of the most prolific characters featured on BPA. He's seen here grabbing double stinkbug. This one is from 1992 and was a UK Burger King premium from a set called "wheelies" which featured all the Simpson family on various vehicles, which I use rather loosely considering Lisa was on a cloud with her saxophone. 

 

Angela Woofit

The Woofits were a race of dog-like creatures living in England from a series of children's books from the 1980s (and a cartoon spin-off). This figure is of Angela Woofit and is from 1980.

 

Hamburglar

 The Hamburglar makes his first solo appearance on BPA. This is a figure that was part of the Japan-only "Fun Time on Wheels" set which included Grimace on a skateboard. The Hamburglar came with a scooter but can also stand on the board. These are the same vehicles as the common McDonald's Garfield set.

The Hamburglar's only previous appearance here was as part of this McDonaldland sticker set.
