Powell Peralta x Super7 - Steve Steadham 'Experimental' ReAction Figure
- Skate culture meets toy history! In the mid-80s, team riders for iconic skateboard brand Powell Peralta were issued prototype boards with “Experimental” branding, mostly to ensure a rider wouldn’t appear in any photos with a blank board devoid of company logos. Around this same time, Kenner would prototype their Star Wars figures in unpainted light blue. Super7 has used this double-inspiration to create the new Experimental wave of Powell Peralta ReAction Figures featuring Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Steve Steadham, and Tommy Guerrero. Each unpainted light blue figure has a design that reflects the skaters’ signature graphics and is packaged on a black-and-white “Experimental” cardback to complement the prototype aesthetic

With a prominent place on the Bones Brigade and one of very few Black professional skaters of the time, Steve Steadham inspired a whole new generation of Black skateboarders that would explode in the ‘90s. This 3.75” scale articulated ReAction Figure features skull and dreads inspired by his deck graphics
