This is one example of the popular "figure on a skateboard" bootleg. I've seen everyone from the X-Men to Barney the Dinosaur riding these little pull-back motorized boards.

Pikachu is made from a hollow rubber mold, and squishes quite nicely when you mash him. He has black and red paint detailing, all very accurate to the show.

At left you can see a detail of the graphics on the board.

Notice the big "1999" on the tail and the odd text at the front of the board.

For a skateboard bootleg, Pikachu offers no real surprises. Still, it's a lightweight, fun little toy.
