G4 Single Packs

These are the Tech Deck Dudes released in single "Street Crew" packs by Spin Master.

They were released in themed series.  However, the themes were not specifically named or numbered. The first four series had 6 figures each, and the last seven series had 8 figures each. These packs also had mini street-scene diorama pieces and some accessories related to the scene/theme and not necessarily the character. These figures have plug-feet (instead of magnets) and also plug-backs (to hold the skateboards or attach to the dioramas). Even the re-released figures are distinguishable as G4 by these features, (c) Spin Master, as well as, distinct paint variations.

The images shown on this page are the specific G4 paint variations (almost always still in the Street Crew packages).  This page is intended primarily to show what paint variations of the re-released figures are unique to G4, as well as, what new characters were introduced at the very end of the toyline (#138-#164).  Much more detailed information is provided on each character's individual page.

BLUE denotes the brand new characters in each series.

2007 series - "street" theme
For this series only, they did not put an "also in this series" list on the packages.
This is also the only Street Crew series with magnetic feet. 
These are the first figures with plug-backs.



071 - Eddie - street punk
082 - Barney - street cop
096 - Turbo - street performer
124 - Cheeze - "street enforcer" (The Warriors)
138 - Radd - 1980's skater (or #135)*
139 - Clobber - Mr. T (#139A)**

*Per packaging and mold, there are two figures labeled as #138 and no figure labeled #135. The solitary "Holidude" named Snow Ballah was released first and should have been given #135.  But, because he is far more common than Radd -- and very easy to find new, in packages clearly marked #138 -- I have chosen to reassign Radd as #135.  However, when looking at how the G4 figures were released, it becomes evident that he should not only be the true #138, but also that he is also the very first newly designed figure from Spin Master (and not X-Concepts).

**While many TDD characters have had different versions of sculpts, Clobber is the only character to ever have both an "A" and a "B" marker as part of his mold.  Both figures came out around the same time.  #139A is the regular "Street Crew" version, and #139B is Clobber in a hot dog costume. 139B was exclusive to the Vanformer playset.  Also, when Spin Master took over, Clobber became the mascot or spokesperson for the toyline.  He can be seen in the TDD commercials of 2008.
