Lego Betties

Lego Skater Girl, from minifigure series 6. “Who cares what anybody thinks? I skate for me!” Some Minifigures skate for fame. Others skate for thrills. But for the Skater Girl, it’s all about having fun! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about her skating skills as long as she can feel two things: the […]

Lego Street Skater Minifigure

I dunno, he looks more like a Lego Harry Potter figure reject. “This is the perfect spot for an awesome new stunt!” To the Street Skater, the whole city is one big skate park. No matter where in town he may be, everything around him looks like just the right location for his next mind-blowing […]

Those are not the trademark violators you are looking for.

Lord on Board is an 8″ tall plastic resin figure sculpted by Abell Octovan. He allegedly sells them for $160 a piece delivered, although I can’t seem to figure out where, as he doesn’t seem to have an online presence outside of a flickr stream. The board is a separate piece, and his hand is […]

Can’t let it go…

Honestly, not sure why skateboarders of a certain age are obsessed with the skateboarding footage in Back to the Future. After the last BTF post I made I seriously doubted that there would be any recurrences in the near future, but now here we are. It doesn’t hurt that I have little kids and still […]

This is from the days

Vintage Annalee doll: adorable girl wearing pink on a skateboard. Dated 1992. This is from the days when Annalee Thorndike dolls had hand painted one of a kind faces. Has been displayed in a cabinet since it was new so is in great condition. I will never have enough time or money to collect every […]

Summer’s Over

I called my congressman and he said, quote “I’d like to help you son, but you’re too young to vote.” The subskate is a completely pointless toy that all kids will fight desperately for if they come to your house to play in a puddle of water and you only have one. I bought one […]

$50 foot fetish

Opening bid on the skateboard and shoes with built in socks for a 70’s era Charlie’s Angels doll is $49. That’s for the skateboard and shoes, not the actual doll. That there is the “annoy” in Skate and Annoy, and then some.

Black Puffle

So this isn’t the main toy, but rather the toy’s pet. According to Club Penguin, the black puffle is strong and “loves the skateboard.” I knind of like this, but not for 33 bucks. Is that a grind rail on th eside of the ramp?

James Bond Jr and Gordo on board

In 1991 there was an animated series based on a spinoff novel from Ian Flemming’s James Bond series. I just watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time in… decades, and I was suprised to learn that it was also based on an Ian Flemming novel and produced by Albert R. Broccoli, the guy […]
