Turtle Spotted at Goodwill

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle spotted at the Goodwill in Forest Grove, Or. It was only $1.99 and now I’m regretting that I left it there, but I’m trying to downsize… I think his name is Michelangelo or Andy Warhol, possibly Jackson Pollock or maybe even Robert Indiana.

Street (style) Donuts

Photo of a mobile from the Seattle area in 2018 if I recall correctly. Website has since lapsed. There was a line of middle aged guys arguing about donut ledges vs doughnut transitions… Ok no there wasn’t. Sorry, that was the best I could do. Also, that’s a cat towing the skateboarder!

Switch Board

Hey kids, remember the Morfboard, Morfboard 2, and Morfboard copiers like the Flybar? Well you can add the Switchboard to that esteemed group of wacky boards, and this one might be best engineered version yet. It’s one skateboard with special mounting plates that allow you to swap out trucks and accessories in a snap. Is it necessary? Maybe. Is it possible? Yes! Who is it made by? Switchboard! But is it this Switchboard? Possibly. The logo is different and the product is conspicuously absent from the skateboard training products section and skateboard trucks section, so who knows. Someone in Poland knows. (Daj mi buziaka.)

What’s the Point?

What’s the point of this? Who is spending $169 on an 8″ plastic figure of Harley Quinn, even if it is a limited edition hand-numbered resin cast sculptures based on the art of Ivan Tao? Why is she on a skateboard? Is this tryhard? Ask McFarlane Toys on Amazon.

He-man vs. shrimp vs. Element vs. Sk8 Bali

This bootleg is one of the funniest crappy/80’s bootleg deck I have ever seen. The Thrill Seeker graphic looks like He-man getting busted attempting to devein a giant shrimp. He-man doesn’t look happy at all and the shrimp seems scared a hell. It was found on ebay, but it didn’t sell. I’m not surprised, because the seller listed it as a “Conan the the Barbarian” deck, so all the true Masters of the Universe fans missed this one. He looks a little overstuffed, like a bright pink Stretch Armstrong. Turns out you can get a licensed Masters of the Universe He-Man decks via a collaboration between Super 7 and Element. Despite being licensed, it still looks like a bootleg or at best, a toy store board. Trying to find better pictures of the He-Man deck turned up more carppy boards from Sk8 Bali.

– Thanks to David ODK for the original post idea that I just couldn’t leave be…
