The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weren’t the only grouping of anthropomorphic young animal heroes in ’90s media. Nope, there was Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters and Biker Mice from Mars. And of course, there was also Street Sharks, a series that ran for three seasons from 1994-1997. Of course, back then, where there were cartoons, there were action figures. Celebrating the brand’s 30th anniversary this year, Street Sharks return in a new line of toys from Mattel. The first wave focuses on two hero characters—Ripster and Jab—and a villain, Slash.
The new Street Sharks line will be collector-focused but kid-friendly. They feature real-feel skin, modern articulation, chomping jaws, and modular shark cage accessories. Ones that can fit together to form larger cages. These 6 to 6.5-inch tall toys are sure to appeal to collectors who grew up watching the crime-fighting superheroes with their bowl of cereal on Saturday mornings. You can check out the first images of these new Street Sharks figures, as well as read the new line’s official announcement, right here:
After thirty years, Street Sharks is swimming back onto shelves as Mattel reignites the iconic brand. Since the brand’s debut in the 90s, fans’ hunger for new products and content has remained strong, and we are thrilled to announce the Street Sharks revival. In addition to new toys, Mattel is amplifying this moment by releasing exclusive Street Sharks apparel available at MattelCreations, and throughout the year, Mattel will be partnering with industry leaders on fashion collabs, comic books, collectibles and more. Street Sharks fandom encapsulates the resurgence of 90’s nostalgia, and we believe now is the time to inspire the next generation of fans.
Street Sharks’ Ripster, Jab, and Slash will be available for pre-sale at Walmart on March 15th as well as Amazon, Big Bad Toy Store, Entertainment Earth, and Diamond Collectibles.
