Toys – Page 6 – Skate and Annoy

Cannibal Kinder Surprise

Kinder Joy Surprise toy found inside little chocolate eggs, for sale by a cannibal in Hong Kong. I’m clearly phoning it in today. Bonus Kinder Surprise after the jump.

Annoy and Annoy

Putting the “annoy” in Skate and Annoy. I defy you to sit through this entire DIY fingerboard ramp project video. Then blame Josh for this tip.

With Exclusive Zombie Skateboarder

Spotted in Costco, and not specifically Halloween related, this Lego book “Love that Minifigure,” comes with an exclusive zombie skateboarder figure.

Weird Fingerboards of the Week

Apparently even fingerboard manufacturers are over their phobia of shaped decks. Witness these two weirdly shaped fingerboards that appear to be made out of some very cheap metal. Skull Skates Mutant? The only thing I can think of is that they had thousands of oddly shaped scraps left over from manufacturing some other crappy product […]

Toys that he had in the 5th Grade

Jeffrey Ballard sent me an email with these pictures of some skate toys he retrieved while visiting his parents house last Christmas. He distinctly remembers getting them when was in 5th grade, which makes him… old, but not as old as me. The guy on top is still being produced in a couple forms. I’ve […]

Skipper is a sporting girl

Editor’s Note: I found this post draft from 2012… I wonder what I was waiting for. She may not be an actual sporting girl, in the Deadwood era meaning of the term, but Skipper is still an expensive date. $139 on eBay, which is ridiculous, but this old Barbie spinoff toy regularly goes for that […]
