Toy Machine Heavy Metal VHS Skate Wax

A rider's wax stashed inside a VHS shell

Toy Machine has never done subtle when it comes to underground aesthetics, and this wax bar proves it again. The block is molded to match a VHS cassette shell down to the reel notches, with "TOY MACHINE" stamped along the edge. It's a direct nod to "Heavy Metal," the video from Toy Machine and Scumstash Pictures, complete with a grainy black-and-white cover shot, a concert-flyer metal font, and a cardboard sleeve that replicates a 90s VHS box. A piece that hits just as hard with camcorder-era nostalgics as with riders who've only ever filmed their lines on a phone.

Past the pop-culture nod, the formula stays fully performance-driven. This skate wax delivers a dense, consistent slide on ledges, rails, and curbs, with no greasy residue sticking to wheels or trucks. The block is compact and solid, built to survive a backpack or jacket pocket without warping, and its firm texture allows for precise application without wasting product. Premium wax, not a novelty item.
