Pro Skater Toys

The Pros (2003)

The Pros were created by Toy Zone, NOT by X-Concepts/Tech Deck. 

The Pros is by far the most common skater toys you might catch in a lot with X-Concepts' Tech Deck Dudes, Skate Crew, or Grimm Dude/Creatures figures. 

The Pros copied the scale, expressive features, and magnetic feet/boards of the dudes, they even came out after the dudes had been on shelves for 3 years. 

Fittingly, G2 dudes (with statically posed arms) hit shelves earlier in 2003. I think the Pros was likely trying to cash in on the craze of the TDD line. 

These only lasted one series, consisting of 6 pro-skaters. Kind of a shame, since these figures are very expressive and unique for collectors who like pro skateboarding memorabilia. 

This could've been a cool skate culture/extreme sports equivalent to Starting Line Up figures.

Tech Deck Pros (2010)

These figures are made by Spin Master, a year after killing Skate Crew and Tech Deck Dudes. These figures do not have magnetic feet and are unrelated to the 2003 Pros line from Toy Zone above.

All the Skaters in this line wear a shirt (and some have a hat) for their sponsored brand and have a deck of that brand. (i.e Stevie Williams has a DGK shirt and board, Tony Hawk has a Birdhouse deck, P-Rod had a Nike SB hat, etc.)

Other Random Pro Skater/BMX Toy Lines: 

FLICK TRIX figures by Spin Master (2000):

The Flick Trix line only lasted about a year, but Spin Master would go on to buy out X-Concepts LLC, Tech Deck, and Tech Bikes and use X-Concepts to make Flick Trix bikes. 

Flick Trix made a BMX Matt Hoffman figure and an Aaron Feinberg skate course toy

eXXtreme Joxx (1999):

The eXXtreme Joxx was released by Imperial. This toy line was ahead of its time, the only other skate toy line in 1999 was Tech Deck's Pee Wee line released with PlayMates.

  

The line included Rob Dydrek, Danny Way, Colin McKay, Rick Howard, and Bob Burnquist:

 

Art Asylum's Tony Hawk Figure (2002):

Tony Hawk had plenty of toys, including Mcdonald's Happy Meal promo toys.

TYCO RC Tony Hawk RC Figure (2001):

The figure wore either blue or red: 

Medicom and Nike SB: Reese Forbes Designer Toy (2004)

Omni "Teck" Figures (2008)

These figures attach to handles to do flips. They were made by Action Sports LLC 

Not sure what else to say about them, they're primitive compared to the X-Concepts/Tech Deck lines.

These flopped, I assume since there are only a few, they are always on eBay boxed. 

I hate that Tech is misspelled, but this was probably to avoid a lawsuit from Tech Deck.

Street League Skateboarding (2010-2012)
These tall flex figures cost $12 a pop and were Target Exclusives.
Street League Skateboarding also had traditional fingerboards similar to the Tech Deck boards.

DGK Stevie Williams and TokiDoki Collab Figure (2012):  

Stevie William's DGK (Dirty Ghetto Kids) did a collab with TokiDoki which include a Stevie collectible art toy designed by TokiDoki's creator and CCO, Simone Legno. 

STUNTZ X Micro Board Sets (2009)

These were made by Uni-Fortune Toys Ind. Ltd. I think it's some random knockoff brand?

They made Micro boards and these figures, but they're just generic figures.

 

Sales for this line probably weren't the best, as the STUNTZ X line doesn't have anything I can find before or after 2009. I'll document the actual fingerboards and bikes on a Tech Deck knockoff page!

Finger Boy Action Figures (2000)
Not sure who these are, they look like GI Joes (the original ones from the 1960s). I think they're just generic doll dudes and not supposed to be any specific real-life pro-skater.

Given that Fingerboard (a knock-off of Tech Deck) hit its peak in the early 2000s and made McDonald's Happy Meal boards in Summer 2000, I'd guess these "Finger Boys" were made in the early 2000s. 



These are cheap toys, they don't even have a copyright date on the back?

Other Random Cheap Skate Figures: 
This 2001 toy is for "Internet Security Systems", which I believe is now owned by Microsoft.

A company named JARU made these dollar store toys, Radical Sky Riders, in 2001
