These aren’t the skateboards you’re looking for
Rebelscum.com reports from the Agenda trade show that Santa Cruz is releasing some licensed Star Wars skateboards. It looks like some of them come packaged like little action figures. Santa Cruz will put out a skateboard with anything and everything on it. As weak as the idea of a Star Wars skateboard is, I really like the replica action figure packaging. That’s pretty good attention to detail. Check it out after the jump, as well as a Skate and Annoy exclusive insider pic of the limited edition, super technical slalom deck that will likely cost an arm and a leg.
Here’s the action figure packaging, at least that’s what I think it’s supposed to be. Where’s the carbonate packaging?

And here it is… The high performance pro slalom model… Oh wait, it’s just a toy store plastic Star Wars skateboard. Photo from 2 Warps to Neptune. It’s not really an old board. It came out in 1999, so I guess it is old, but it’s second time around old. Is there a term for that?
Modern antique?
NOC – New Old Crap ?
Boba Fett was the OG barney. He’s got more pads than all of SoCal combined!

Completely uninspired graphics that look like any random eBayWatch bootlegger could have created. I’m sure anything that would have had a distinct SantaCruz flair would have been nixed by Disney. I’m glad a legit old school skate company got the gig, but they look like WalMart boards.
