Tech Deck Dude Keychains (2001), Talk Back (2002-2003), and RC's (2002-2003)

Key chains aka Mini Dudes (2001) (sold by Fun 4 ALL) 

They are smaller than the regular dudes, they're about 1.5 inches tall & attached to their boards.

They promoted keychains of the Crew 2 and 3 series, but it was never made. 

 

The packages opened up to display a cut-out card of the dude and promote the next 2 Crews (which were never released).

Talk Back (2002-2003) (Sold by Jazz Wares Inc.)

All Talk Backs are reissues of regular dudes with unique magnetic motorized boards that you could press and the board would "Talk Back" with multiple catchphrases. 

Again, both sets of Talk Back are exact reissues of G1 figures, so these aren't exclusive variants, I just want to squash that misconception some collectors have.

They cost $10 back in 2002, which is a bit high. By contrast, a regular pack cost $4.

 

Talk Back CREW 2 (2003)

A second Talk Back crew was released in early 2003 as the G1 dudes were being phased out. It includes six pre-established dudes, but I noticed that Simon on the back of the box is wearing a blue shirt? I've never seen this figure, so it may be a change from master to mass-manufactured versions or just the photoshoot's lighting. 

G1 RCs (Sold in partnership with Toy Island) (2002)

Regular Scale RCs:

3 Regular Dudes were reused from single packs (Sludge, Ronin & Syd)

These aren't exclusive variants.

Giant RC Dudes 

These Giant Dudes are 8.5 inches tall and made of hard plastic, unlike the regular 2.5-inch dudes: 

These 8 figures were sold in single-packs and 2-packs.   

Cardbacks: 

Six of the eight giant RC dudes were re-released in 2 packs: 

I. Stevie J & Rap Masta Thumb

II. Tank & Crash 

III. Booger & Manga

G2 RC DUDES 

(By X-Concepts, no longer sourcing out to  Toy Island)

After G1, there were no more partnerships with Toy Island for RCs. Moreover, there were no more keychains with Fun 4 All, Talk Back's with Jazz Ware, stickers from Brand Imports, and no more dude school supplies, kid's wallets, or Tech Deck sneakers in stores with complimentary dudes.

The only outsourced partnerships Tech Deck/X-Concepts kept in G2 onward were t-shirts. 

G2 saw the release of 2 RC Dudes (Billy with a red hat and Eddie with a green mohawk)

They were re-released the same year in 2-Packs with re-releases of one of the dudes from the Downhill playset. I'm unsure why? Maybe they had leftover inventory? 

Pack 1: Includes Eddie & Lenny

Pack 2: Includes Billy & Sumo San
