Welcome!

An Overview of Tech Deck Dudes:

On the side, we break down specific pack types (ex: single pack, 3-packs, playsets.). We also break down other Tech Deck/X-Concepts toy lines and have fun pages on skateboarding/extreme sports toys. 

Our main dude pages are found on the "Tech Deck Dude Archive" drop-down menu in the upper right:

I. June: #0-30: Dudes with no number and Dudes 1-30

II. May: #31-60 Dudes that debuted in G1

III. April: #61-88 Last dudes to debut in G1 (with the exceptions of #117 & #119)

IV. March: #89-137 Debuted in G2/G3, one page for all of the creatures line(#101-112)

V. February: #138-165 G4/Spin Master Era Dudes

What does "G1-G4" mean? 

 "Generation", or the period a figure was released in.

G1 Dudes: Figures with no arms, the early years (2000-2003) 

G1 Dudes were initially armless dudes with plug feet and wooden boards that didn't roll (Late 2000-Early 2001). The later G1 Dudes are armless dudes and dudettes with magnetic feet and boards with rolling wheels (Mid 2001-Early 2003).

G1 lines: Crews (single packs), 3-Packs, Deluxe (barrels/ramps/rails), Hot Feet Crews 1-2 (bright-colored variants with light-up boards), Playsets, RCs, TalkBack (boards that talked), playsets, and keychains.

G2 Dudes: Figures with magnetic feet and added arms with static poses (2003)

G2 lines: Evolution Crews 1-3 (single packs now with Trading Cards Series 1), playsets, Hot Feet Crew 3, and Hot Feet 3-Packs.

G3 Dudes: Figures with magnetic feet & bendable arms with perforated holes (2004-2008) 

G3 lines: Evolution Crew 4-9 and new G3 versions of 1-3 Crew dudes (each came with Trading Cards Series 1 or 2). 

G3 had much more lines: 3-Packs, Toys R Us Exclusive 6-Packs, Zoods Crew 1-7 (dudes that have pets), Blastboards (motorized pull-back boards), Clash Crew 1-3 (buildable dice cubes), Magnetic Action (extra magnets on their hands and backs and accessories). 

Towards the end of G3: Blastboards became the bigger Ripboards, and Zoods became gigantic. 

 

Note: The final G3 single packs (2008) had magnetic feet and holes in their backs to plug into a display stand. I call them Generation 3& 1/2 Dudes since they're a hybrid/middle ground of G3 and G4.

G4 Dudes: Figures with bendy arms who no longer have magnetic feet or boards (2008-2009) 

G4 had plug feet and plugs in their backs for identical red plugboards. These boards came with a magnetic strip to accommodate the earlier magnetic dudes. They had plug feet and boards and came with an accessory or display stand. G4 only had single packs, a wave of 6-packs, and the Trick Dudes (the first and only line to have dude characters not in their usual plastic, instead being static hard plastic trick toys).
