I got this and was pleasantly surprised! The overalls were better than I was expecting. They looked too short in all photos I saw but I think they must have just hiked up from being handled, or the knee pads, because they are plenty long. I like that they are not too thick, same probably as Blaire’s overalls in weight/thickness. I like the vest too, some snaps would have been nice, and I love the colors. It gives me Punky Brewster vibes. While one side of the vest is nicely stuffed the other is rather flat, so as usual some minor quality control issues. I don’t mind that there are no knee pads and helmet as I would not use them often and I never used them as a kid but different times and of course I make my daughter use them. I was happy to get the skateboard and not have to buy the skate park to get it. It is similar to some older ones we have but the wheels on this one are just a tad smaller. Nicki’s is also maybe an inch longer which is a plus. Definitely my favorite skateboard out of the ones I have because I like the design but it is just a sticker. Pretty sure the other ones just have decal stickers too and they have held up fine so I’m not worried about this one.
With where current prices are and have been, to me, the price is fair of course if you can snag it on a sale even better. I have no regrets purchasing this. I love the style and colors. All the pieces look nice together and it also has a lot of mix and match possibilities. Though I will say I remember having the wide leg overall in 94 and I had a nylon red pullover in the same shade of red as on the vest with a navy front pocket. I wore them together all the time, both from gap. So this outfit seems accurate for mid 90’s too.
