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 skateboarding stunt.

People all over the city are used to seeing the Street Skater rolling up and down stairs, along railings, through fountains and even across the branches of the city park’s trees. He’s such a familiar sight that the streets just wouldn’t be the same without him and his famous skateboard!

Check it out wherever Lego is/are sold.

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 molded to hold it in a standard skater’s grip. Available photographs show no evidence of evil mall grab capabilities, but the dark side of the Force is strong, so you never know. These things look pretty nifty, but $160 is a special kind of crazy. Then again vinyl toy collecting is a strange phenomenon. At least theses guys can play with their collectables with in reason and they’ll still look like NOS. I’ve often wondered about the copyright ramifications of slapping Darth Vader’s head on a skateboard toy and selling it, but the folks over at the Official Star Wars Blog don’t seem to be too upset.

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 love Legos. CUUSOO is a project where lego fans design and submit Lego creations to the community. If enough people “like” the design then the gods of the plastic brick mountain will consider releasing a kit version or full commercial version of the model, and the designer gets a small percentage of sales. What Delorean Time Machine would be complete without Marty McFly and his skateboard?

UPDATE 2026: added photos of the actual productions set as well as subsequent sets.

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 hideous skateboard toy out there. At least it’s not Fofao.

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 of the first Subskates, something like five years ago, meaning to photograph it and return it, but then somehow I had a kid in the meantime and he discovered it and then it was his. It’s piece of hard foam and you’re supposed to play with it in a pool and pretend it’s a skateboard, because, you know, you’d ruin a real skateboard if you played with it in a pool. Mind you, I know grown men who have played with brand new skateboard decks in a pool, so maybe this is a good idea.

$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 kind of like this, but not for 33 bucks. Is that a grind rail on the side 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 who did all the early James Bond movies. Ian didn’t write the James Bond Jr book, so he can’t really be blamed for the atrocity that is the James Bond Jr cartoon. They made over 60 episodes, but apparently the toy line was more popular than the actual series. What you see here is the Gordo Leiter figure, complete with weaponized skateboard. Turns out there were two episodes that featured skateboarding.

Jerry, no Tom

This is from a Tom and Jerry themed Subway kids meal toy from 1994. the wheels underneath are one solid bar that is strangely arced in the center, so he likes to fall over if he’s on an uneven surface, which goes nicely with his bicycle style helmet. There were three other figures, but I’ve only got this one.

Aggressive non-violence

If you’re a fan of this site then it should come as no surprise that after the jump you’ll see way too many pictures of these Toyboarders that are essentially the skateboarding version of plastic army men.
