If you are like me and were wondering, 'Finger Boards???' - these are novelty 'toy' items that are finger-sized skateboards, which you can swap around (customise) parts as you like, from the different packs of bits and pieces you can buy.

These are in America, but may show up here too. If they do, they will probably be in a different area of the toy store/section, as I've seen Finger-Boards usually located in the 'toy cars' section.

This was reported on TFW last month, I believe.

I also believe this is Hasbro's way to take on Spin Master Toys, the makers of Tech Deck, who very potentially violated copyright by making some Tech Deck Dudes that were clearly based on characters like G1 Prime and Megatron. They even used G1 mottos.

Up to a couple of months ago, the Tech Deck Dudes website still listed the Transformers-based Dude figures, but when I recently checked, they were gone.

Just wait until after the next movie and you can score a bunch of these for free then. :D

I can't imagine people here actually buying these.....

^ Oh right. ^ :p
