i used to catch him all the time at the Vans skate park

Same here. I actually just watched that movie again about 3 weeks ago. Being a kid watching it and to watch it again 30+ years later brings back memories but I will say it was 100% better 30 years ago!

I rewatched it last year, still fun but I agree it doesn't hold as well as Heathers.

Whoa, another Gleaming the Cube reference in the last couple of weeks. My co workers and I were talking to the younger ones about the types of movies we had at their age. Such fun guilty pleasure movies.

Also with all the ones pushing the designs of POPs in mid air using a clear stand, I hope we get one of him spinning in midair doing a grab on the board. I’m sure with the size of the head it would be a design challenge but if anyone can do it, the talented creative team at Funko could do it. Then we would all stare in awe at its brilliance.

Nieces and I had a marathon on them last year. Started with Pump up the Volume.

Oh, man! True Romance had to be on the list, right? I have to rewatch that now. Thanks for making me want to go on a Christian Slater binge. I have a feeling my wife will not have a problem joining me. lol

Now I want a ride with him on the back of the Jeep with all the stereo equipment.

Most definitely! After seeing Making Fun and how much input he actually had on this I’m even more excited to have one of these now. Absolute legend!

If they're going with the old logo for final production I might snag one. I loved my late-80's Tony Hawk sweater. It was about as vintage as I got, heh. Though I do still play THPS 2 every couple years. Maybe I should get it anyway. Ok you convinced me!

It looks like they are going with the birdhouse shirt on him

Definitely picking up this one when it comes out! THPS was my ish! Actually a THPS line would be AMAZING!

The one on the board, I mean. I didn't know about Birdhouse until years later because that logo from the board is the one I had for like a decade

This version is a hit and miss for me. Don't get me wrong I like it but I was hoping for a older Tony Hawk pop. Something current looking.

Oh for sure, they are definitely going with the old school logo on the board which is great cause like me that’s how a lot of people remember him

Tony hawk at sdcc

Is the proposed pop a reference to a specific era of Tony Hawk or is it some idealized figure?

Postby **dcooperfl** » Sun May 27, 2018 2:17 am

I’m sure this means there will be multiple versions.

Postby **MDGriffith83** » Sun May 27, 2018 10:22 pm

Hopefully they will release a few variants of him. I played Tony Hawk every day for years. Makes me want to go buy a Playstation and get the game.

Looks like he is up for pre-order on Amazon now...

I wish they would have made a young tony when he wore his pink shirt. I’m from the old school skate scene and that’s the tony I remember. :freddy2:

For some odd reason, after watching the Making Fun documentary, it made me want the Tony Hawk pop even less now. His bit in the documentary felt really corporate and I was not a big fan of that. Don’t get me wrong, he’s fantastic but I might pass on it now.

I think he just wants the pop to represent him the correct way. I get what you’re saying though.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Postby **clutch09** » Mon Jun 04, 2018 1:45 am

does the pop in the documentary look different than the one up for preorder to anyone else? I thought he had a different color shirt on?
