SAVE TOY MACHINE

[pussybunny]

Recently heard from a reliable source that Toy Machine has been struggling to sell their fucking amazing Skateboards as of late... Kids these days just don't know what's good I guess. Loyal pawns where you at?!?

[Dwyck]

they're still ps stix, right? anyway, i was looking at a templeton shaped like two months ago but it was too short so i got a polar K1 instead.
uh, and matt bennet's good i guess

[GershonSweaty]

Maybe sorting out their dog shit distribution in the UK might help.

[botefdunn]

yeah i had been noticing the earnest desperation in the ads lately, it's a bummer.

[Powdered Toast Man!]

Toy machine’s prevailed tougher times, plus i think they’ve been working on a full lenght for a while.
Besides Tum yeto is pretty big and affordable in mex and i see them in the wild, especially their softgoods sell a shitton around here too especially the socks.
Then again the peso value is shit right now and that hurts da biz.
They’ll be fine

[nino brown]

any company thats still support josh harmony deserves to fold.
any company that turns a 12 year old am before Tre Willimas deserves to fold.

[planman]

Toy's been lacking as of late, Stevie Wonder can see that. I hope they don't go under but I wouldn't be surprised. If I'm not mistaken, it's been tough times at Tum Yeto lately.

[chipped tail]

Tum-Yeto is the problem. Toy Machine should go solo like the other brands that are popular right now

Toy Machine is as bland as ever nowadays. They drop J-Lay, but they leave on Josh Harmony and Billy Marks and add a twelve-year-old Red Bull pawn and Blake Carpenter? Not a good look. They've got enough heritage that I'd be sad to see them go, but, at the same time, I'm not buying a board, either.

[schralp pal]

Templeton is over it. He prefers to do one dimensional oil paintings instead of work on his company.

don't know why the billy marks coverage has basically stopped the past couple years, he could lay down some handrail wizardry with the best of em. blake carpenter is a solid team member, such a sick mix of tech/gnar with a super relaxed style. also what happened with jeremy leabres? and leo's coverage kinda fell off, but i guess he was saving footage for that berrics part he never got paid for so he's probably sitting on a bunch of stuff

Leabres had that Toy/Thrasher part come out a few years ago and then fell off the map he was definitely getting me some what hyped on TM again until going M.I.A

I meant it as an adjective as in "lacking depth".

But the real question is with eds early onset Alzheimer's does he really have what it takes to run a company? What's the better choice - fold or sell?

Real info someone had an interview and aired that out there. Might of been Leo himself. I forget the interview.

Pretty sure his coverage has basically stopped because he's getting older. Total speculation, but basing it off KOTR coverage

Jordan Taylor left.

Yeah think he quit becuase they put him on the back burner for Blake and Jeremy, not like he wasn't productive he put out his accumulated footage in his gordo2k part immediately after he left

[expired]

Shit, I knew there was someone I was forgetting! They slept on Jordan hard. And to whoever asked, Blake strikes me as some kind of late-2000s skatepark kid that would fit better on modern day Stereo than Toy Machine.

Well that's what they get for booting J-Lay.  Hope they learned their lesson!

All jokes aside, that sucks.  It's weird seeing companies that I grew up supporting go down the drain.  I actually wouldn't mind seeing Leo back on Baker again even though that's definitely not going to happen.

[theotherguy]

I'm pretty sure Ed has stated multiple times that he doesn't push riders to produce and it's on them to get coverage. If they want to sell boards, then they have to produce footage.

[Allen.]

I'd be 100% more likely to buy Toy boards if they weren't watson decks.

[colt cannon lunchbox]

I bought a Toy board just yesterday. They sure aren't what they once were (get rid of redbull kid) but their videos have always been amazing. I feel like with Leo, Dan Lu, Collin and Jeremy alone they could make a great 15-20 minute long vid Emerica style.

[Budgie Lasek]

I'd be 100% more likely to buy Toy boards if they weren't watson decks.

Unless they switched back very recently, they haven't been Watson in a long, long time. They did some of the non-pro models on Watson for a while several years ago, but then switched those to PS, and then switched everything to PS.
