WIN a bag of AJ's Toy Boarders Series 1 and 2!

The fine folks over at AJ's Toy Boarders sent me an extra bag of their newest Series 2 for review, and I still have an extra bag from my Series 1 review, so I figured a give-away was in order!

One lucky winner will receive both bags (Series 1 and Series 2)

How?

Read on!

First, let's take a look at Series 2. Like Series 1, at first glance you appear to have a bag of basic plastic army men. But look closer...

They're all skaters!

Not much to say about them beyond the cool/cute factor. Simple like the plastic army men/space men/firemen et al of yore, AJ's Toy Boarders recall a simpler time when toys didn't need bells and whistles and batteries and a wall outlet to be fun! I know I'd have pockets full of these if I were still in elementary school, playing with them on the playground and even illegally at my desk!

These will definitely make a great stocking stuffer for the little skater in your family.

Series 2 comes at ya' with eight all new sculpts...

There's "Trippy McSkidsalot,"

"The Green Hoody,"

"Specs,"

"Slouchy LeHatbackwards,"

"Upskirt Jones,"

"Gloria Grindslalot," (AJ's Toy Boarder's first female skater! Yay!)

"Flannel Pete,"

and...one more but I somehow forgot to get his picture! Which is where you come in and could win!

Name the missing member of AJ's Toy Boarder's Series 2. Oh, and this is a creative exercise, no need to actually describe the real missing figure. Make something up and be funny!

Leave your response as a comment and I will pick one winner on December 10th at midnight California time.

The only rule is: winner must be in the continental US. Sorry to all my international fans but it's almost Christmas so I can't be spending all that money to ship overseas!

What are you waiting for? All this could be yours!

Little Green Skater Men

I recently spotted these cool new toy Skateboarders over at Dan's Toy Museum and simply had to get my hands on some of my own!

Little Green Army Men meets your local skate park. The Original AJ's Toy Boarders Skate Series One:

Each pack contains 24 little monochrome plastic skaters in eight different styles. If I was still in school I would totally be bringing these guys in my pockets and playing with them when I wasn't supposed to be.

Here's a look at all eight together.

The back of the card smartly informs you of who is who/who is doing what. Keen!

Let's look at each one individually, shall we?

'Smith'

'Tail Grab'

'Nose Grab'

'Cruising 2'

'Manual'

'Cruising 1'

'Ollie'

and last but not least: 'Pushing.'

"Whoahwoahwoah - LOOOOOOK OOOOUUUUUUT!"

CRASH!!!

Simple and fun and ready for your imagination to take over, these little green skater dudes are a great toy for anyone. Sometimes simple is better, and there's something just 'right' about the simple cast plastic figurine that kids today may be missing out on.

Get some of these to remind yourself and enlighten your kids.

My only complaint is that there are no girls in the series, but according to the creator of these guys, future series will include girl skaters!

There are also plans for future waves of surfers and snowboarders!
