[JayC]

Mattel has been teasing Street Sharks this week on their MattelCreations site. It's not clear exactly what kind of product or products they are teasing, but whatever it is they should be revealing it on Monday.

That's awesome... I wonder what's coming.

[MagnaPrime]

I thought Neca had the license for Street Sharks.

J...

Thx for the heads up....

Looking forward to see what Mattel got...

"Shark Power"!!! =^)

I'm not expecting much, but imagine if it was a full line of figures with parts compatible with Masters Of WWE and MOTU Origins.

Not something I'm nostalgic for but, really looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Okay, that'd get me interested

[tycondrius24]

yeah a motu inspired compatible line would be cool , I do kinda hope Super-7 also makes figures for these using the Ultimates style

Before they became our favorite animated man-sharks from the '90s, the Street Sharks started as sketches. Some of the sketches eventually morphed into the toothy crime fighters we know and love, and some never saw the light of day. Until now. Our designers dug through the archives to give three original concepts of Clambo, Karkass, and Ripster their time in the water.

Ripster - The lead shark, originally imagined as the lead jock and named "Ripley", wears cleats, a helmet, and sunglasses. His weapon of choice? A football missile perfect for jawesome power passes.
 

 

Karkass Long before he became "piranhoid," Karkass had evil in his gills. Featuring a piranha’s toothy grin and removable fish fists, this nemesis is casually dressed in sneakers and a track jacket.

Clambo - This half-man, half-mollusk is armed to the teeth and all villain. He features a camo shell, multiple blasters, and a biting sneer.

Each figure will cost $75 each and be available for pre-order on August 27th at noon ET on the MattelCreations website.

These are really odd. So based off some sketches that existed so no nostalgia attached, look odd and cost...cough $75?? This is beyond niche. Not even a deep cut to complete a collection. Who will buy these? Odd

Not bad... Very flamboyant colors but they look super cool...

[Satam]

For that price, I would hope each of these would come packed with a $50 bill.

[EvilHayato]

This is a late april fools joke right? $75 to what equates to a more painted happy meal toy? Like WHAT?!? Also they "reimagined" the original designs to be worse. This is like the dumbest ish Ive seen in quite a while.  75 friggin dollars EACH for this... good god man.. They must have like the hugest confidence in this crap to sell off peoples nostalgia that doesnt even look like the characters. Mondo is doing expensive nostalgia right, these guys.. not so much. They are even articulated like an 80s toy.. BIG OOF. No thank you.

[JayC]

LOL, I wouldnt pay that much but it shouldn't surprise anyone. Everything they offer on that site is pretty expensive.

[deecee4]

Was expecting the actual figures to be updated renditions not a literal continuation of the 90s figures lol. And I dont know what to make of that $75 price. Way to go on reading the room, Mattel.

Anyways they will sell out the same day... I predict in less than 30 min...

[mako]

Just to put this in proper perspective, they claim these are based on original "UNUSED" sketches. Those would be sketches that someone looked over back in the day and said "Nah, we can do better than that."

They are charging 75 bucks a pop for figures based on failed sketches from the design phase of a 30 year-old toy line.

Seriously, I was gonna make a Vin Diesel joke, but this is to stupid for even that.

[Batfreak87]

I love this tease, can't wait to see what this could mean and how these figs would look like. But idk, mattel on the helm of this? LOL, they make their figs look like toddler toys. 

[LordVenger]

Uh. ……. Well. ……Yea that’s all I got. Out. 

[ozzy]

Hahahaha holy cow!  Those look like hot garbage.  I'd pass on these if they were 10 dollars.  But 75 makes it seem like they have straight up lost their minds.  "Please buy our crap!  We'll make it worth your while!  We'll make it expensive so idiots will think it's collectible!" -Mattel

[MagnaPrime]

Dang, yeah no chance from me on these.  Way to expensive and not at all what I wanted.  Surprised it's such a swing and a miss.

[Lord_Scareglow]

What in the blazes

$75 !!!

I guess the fish face guy with his siamese fish face hands is kinda...dumb cool.
