159 Momona

The second to the last series of Tech Deck Dudes came out in late 2008.  This series had an aquatic theme and featured characters relating to the beach and ocean. There were two brand new figures in this series of eight: Momona and Kip. The five re-released were Sven, Tiki, Woody, Rasta, Rick, and Splinter.

Momona is a laid-back looking figure. Everything about him has this relaxed Hawaiian vibe. His packaging bio calls him a "Luau band leader." Notice that he has a ukulele too.

The most famous Hawaiian ukulele musician is Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. You probably have heard his rendition of "Over the Rainbow." This song is in a lot of movies, and it is probably the most famous ukulele song of all time. 

"Momona" is Hawaiian for "sweet."  Like the sweet ukulele music of Israel Kamakawiwo’ole.

Dude. Sweet. Momona.
