I was recently researching old Skins merch or promotional media/merch that people still have or have been documented, and I discovered that some shops (they weren't exactly specified, so I'm guessing DVD or music shops like HMV) had them. It says that they were massive (bigger than life-sized) and were usually featuring Cook, Effy, or Tony. They were said to be either destroyed/recycled or given to staff after the show's promotional runs or advertisements were over, but I don't see anybody with them online, or no pictures of them can be found. If anybody has any information or remembers seeing these either online or in shops/in person, please let me know as I'm highly intrigued as to what th

I've recently googled a list of Skins merch to add to my collection, and discovered that the brand Danilo released two different Skins calendars, one in 2009, and one in 2010.

I will list some of the generally more normal games below:
- An unnamed chocolate ice pop maker game
- A fake my little pony grooming game
- The Talking Tom and Ben News game (not the japanese pepsi advertisement variant, just to clarify)
- An array of more Outfit7 games including Pierre the Parrot, Talking Santa, etc
- A Scooby Doo chase game (you're shaggy and running away from m
I was drawing Jal, Michelle, and Cassie today while visiting my auntie and uncle that I barely see as they moved away, and my uncle was walking by me, then spotted my drawings. He said, "Oh, they're the girls from season 1 of Skins, aren't they?" And, then, my auntie told me that Skins was her favourite show when she was younger, and how she based all of her house parties off Chris', etc's parties! Then, she offered me her DVDs of seasons 5-7, and talked about how Michelle used to inspire her outfits for nights out. Also my uncle met Kaya Scodelario in London on a work trip in his early twenties. So, that was cool! Also, my dad and grandma both mentioned remembering seeing Skins billboards a
