In about 2 weeks, Xtoys will begin shipping the most advanced action figures ever made! Product development took a little longer than expected but these 6" replicas of top extreme athletes will set a new direction in figures. Xtoys' developers have combined "Hyper-scan" technology with some amazing engineering to give us exact likenesses of athletes in the most articulated 6" figures ever made. Each has over 20 points of articulation for almost unlimited poseability. The figures will also come with a variety of great accessories. Xtoys has license agreements with over 50 manufacturers of extreme equipment, accessories and clothing and designers have used the same "Hyper-scan" technology to reduce items to exact scale with the figures.

Skateboarders (Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Danny Way and Bob Burnquist) each come with a perfectly scaled board with exclusive graphic designs. Boards have steerable, metal trucks, miniature tools for repairs and adjustments and a hidden metal plate under the grip surface. The metal plate allows the riders' magnetic feet to stick to the board. They can also double as the best finger-boards ever! Each also comes with a miniature Ramptech licensed ramp, jump, grind rail or grind box reduced exactly from Ramptech's design blueprints.

Snowboarders (Jim Rippey, Todd Richards, Kevin Jones and Barrett Christy) will hit stores at about the same time and they include the same level of authentic equipment and snow-park accessories.

About a month later, look for Extreme skiers, Street Luge and Downhill Skateboarders.
