Chop Socky Chooks (???)

Chop Sockey skateboard toy

Jack in the Box always has the lamest toys in their kid’s meals. Case in point, this Cartoon Network cross promotion for the show Chop Socky Chooks.I had no idea what Chop Socky meant, so I googled it. Crappy martial arts bar fights was the result. I think these are supposed to be Kung Fu Chickens. They battle the evil Dr Wasabi. I’ve never seen it, but these toys are weak. They are actually a step up for Jack in the Box kids meal toys, which are ore apt to be a plastic display stand for some nature facts collecting cards, or something equally as uninteresting to a kid. I saw them earlier this summer on the way to the Oregon Trifecta in Lincoln City. That’s KO Joe on the skateboard. I don’t know if he rides one on the show or not.

Ronald McDonald on a skateboard 1

I went to McDonalds with the kids while trying to wait out the rain at a skatepark. They had these little Ronald McDonald figures in the corner of a glass case as part of another display. I told them I needed one, and they finally relented and gave it to me. I was prepared to buy it, but they weren’t for sale. The next time someone says “It’s not for sale,” just say “That’s OK. It must mean I can have it for free, right?” Right. It’s not a Happy Meal toy, rather part of the birthday party package that they have there. I think there were some with Ronald on blades too. It says copyright 2004 on the bottom. Made in china, of course. Group II Communications. More pictures than warranted after the jump.

McDonalds Smurf on a skateboard

Some people obsess over skateboards. Some people are obsessed with Smurfs. Sometimes there is a tiny bit of overlap, as is the case with the Blue Dudes and Hidden in the Woods. [Photos Clockwise: TBD, HITW, TBD]

The Tony Hawk ornament and other X-mas mysteries.

x-mas crap

The sketchy Tony Hawk Christmas ornament was actually a McDonalds Happy Meal toy with a string attached. Danimal’s mom sent him an awesome elf skateboarding on a leaf. World Industries sells these elf sized skateboards that come packaged in a Christmas stocking.

The Franksters

The Franksters! This set of Extreme!™ 1992 fast food toys from Nathan’s Famous is on eBay. Insert hot dogging joke here. What are those, size 16 shoes or something? Looks like he stole those shoes from Krusty the Klown and is about to go all gorilla-grip in your face. [Update: One bid and ten bucks bought the set.]
