Toy boarders: like toy soldiers who surf/board/skate

AJ's ToyBoarders are a line of toy soldier-style toy snowboarders, in classic green injection-molded plastic.

Our roots are skate, surf, & snow so when we design each rider we use real moves that would be used by todays riders. Each Artwork Figure is hand molded with attention to detail and style.
Any kid can enjoy these riders. They can make a skatepark out of anything around the house, take them wherever they go & use their imagination for hours of enjoyment. We are very proud of this first of many series. Stay tuned for more skate, surf & snowboard riders that are in the works.

I guess Charlie surfs after all.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Oh my god! I’m a hardcore boarder if you can ride it sideways I’m there. This is totally cool! I will have to get some.

They could merge both ideas and do Toy Waterboarders!

They should have used the different poses during the animation, by swapping to appropriate models for jumps etc. Although it’s a shame there isn’t a foot on the floor model.
