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.

Check the alien tag for more aliens!

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.

Doraemon


Doraemon is a cat-like robot. This figure was originally a keychain but lost his latch before he came to me. His board is an unusual kicknose without kicktail. I can't find any date for this guy but I would guess maybe 90s or 2000s.

Killua Zoldyck from Hunter X Hunter. Not sure when this figure is from (sometime between 1998 and now).

Wishbone


Not sure when this Wishbone figure is from but I'm guessing the 90s since that is when his television show aired. It appears to be part of some set at the bottom of hit deck seems like it wants to attach to something.

Edit: This figure was originally attached to a curly straw although I have yet to ascertain if this was part of a promotion or sold separately.
