Mattel Round


Description
Spear's and Mattel are often two names for the same brand or, anyway, publish the same boards. This is quite a good board, and is as far as I know the second restyling for the board I named Spear's. This is the latest restyling of the previous one at these days, and after the angular boards of the eighties the discs became more and more beautiful and so did the boards. Personally I consider the final step of the restyling process, and a real small piece of art, beautiful and good working, although I still prefer flat boards over this kind of framed ones because discs are more easily flipped. It could enrich furnitures of your house even being made of plastic: I wonder how beautiful this board would be if made with rich materials.

Discs missed in this version the diversity between black and white, introduced in the old Spear's version for blind people.
