INFORMATION
MONDO, a well-known poster design and toy company, will launch the first product themed on Mattel's highly acclaimed toy series "Street Sharks" in the 1990s - the "Ripster" soft-gel doll! The reference retail price is US$150. Pre-orders will be available on the MONDO Shop official website at noon on March 4th, Central Time, and will be released in December 2025!
"Street Sharks" is an animated series that aired from 1994 to 1997 and was introduced and broadcast by TTV in 1996. It tells the story of four shark brothers who were transformed by a laboratory and used their shark powers to fight crime after escaping the laboratory. Sharkman is believed to be a toy line inspired by the Ninja Turtles series of Playmates Toy Company. It is believed to be a childhood memory of many toy lovers and is still one of the most popular items in the second-hand toy market!
After Mattel announced the return of the Sharknado series of products last year, they are about to add MONDO's soft rubber series! The first item chosen is of course the team leader - the great hero O'Neal! This time, the Super Hero O'Neill soft-rubber doll is about 10 inches tall. The concept art is done by the well-known toy designer and artist James Groman, who interprets the original design in a more exaggerated way. The blue veins on the body make it look like it is about to explode at any time. The bloodshot eyes, the yellowed teeth in the bloody mouth, and the rough tongue all make them look more ferocious than the original toy!
The color part is sprayed to restore the rough texture of the hero O'Neal's skin. The pink scars of various sizes all over his body show that he is a tough guy who has experienced many battles! The accessories include a replacement part with an open mouth expression, a bent roadside parking meter with shark teeth stuck on it, and a shark fin model that jumps out of the asphalt road, so you can recreate the scene where he appears from the ground in the play! From the main body to the accessories, it is full of details. Toy lovers must pay attention to the pre-order time and don’t miss this great opportunity to own an exquisite Shark Man collection!
