I know Im late by a few months but I finally picked up one of these guys recently and was wondering what you guys thought about the line. Was it a good reboot/update?
>>11284687I like them. Currently waiting on wave 3.
I hope they make Toon accurate figures like they did for MotU. But news has been slow, i don't even think wave 3 is up for pre-order anywhere yet.
>>11284687I have Streex and Slash. This is a toyline that really needed a modern update. I hope there's an Extreme Dinosaurs audience
I just want stores to have preorders for wave 3 already. Need Moby Lick.
>>11284687I bought the sharks from the first wave, they were ok, but Ripster arrived with his dorsal fin broken off because of the way they packaged them with the "Try Me" shit and the fin sticking out of the packaging slightly, and either the fin design or the plastic wasn't as sturdy as the old ones. I would have bought some of the cool looking Seaviates like Killamari, Slobster and Clammando, and if the first two eventually get released I will still buy them, but Slash is lame and I will wait for him to bin if I decide to get him.In all, I'm glad it bombed just because it would have mentally broken the autist that kept posting his green text fanfiction synopsis of the TMNT/Street Sharks crossover in the Turtle thread for fucking months on end.
>>11284687you hard triggered my childhood nostalgia fren. I got this bad boy for christmas one year and ran around the neighbourhood with it,
my buddy had one and we would fuck with it, they need to bring these back.
>>11284687I havent seen a single one in stores. I just wamt ripster and jab but both of them seem to be sold out just about everywhere but BBTS. I just hope the line is doing well.
>>11286778damn dude that's lewd af
>>11286931Literally the day before yesterday I was thinking about getting Jab and now he's sold out. Missed out on Ripster too and that kind of killed my want to get into the line since I don't want to pay after-market prices
>>11284687Beeing poor as a kid in the 90s, I missed out on these and focused more on EXO Squad. Glad I've lived long enough to finally get these 30 yrs later. Love them and can't wait wait for Moby Lick. Shame we won't get their car and Ripsters Bike though.
Has anyone experienced the deterioration that everyone acted like was such a big deal when they came out? Mine have held up fine.
I have them all so far. Wave 1 was in a second hand store and I had to order wave 2 on line. The distribution for these things has been AWFUL.Amazing toys though, love em to death.
>>11288919Deterioration? No. Paint cracking around the mouths? Yes. My Slammu has it pretty bad
>>11288919I've seen Ripster in stores with torn mouths. Yours are fine since theyre practically new anyway, so it's only a matter of time
>>11288859I was really hoping mattel would give street sharks the same red carpet treatment they did MOTU. Miniatures, building sets, hot wheels cars but instead they just spat out these first two waves and just kept moving. It's so weird that they didnt prioritize making the bolton bros in bigger quantities.
>>11289385I like to think stores were waiting to sell both waves at once sometime this year, but maybe thats naive optimism.
>>11288859>>11289385Every toy was readily available in Amazon and BBTS. You guys waited because you never actually wanted it
>>11289385I just hope they sold well enough to get some Toon versions, maybe without the rubber overlay bodies. It's suspicious Wave 3 can't be pre-ordered yet. Maybe it's a dead line now.
>>11290072Matty drags its feet on the offerings and the dock strikes aren't entirely over.>https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/business/economy/ports-longshoremen-contract-talks.htmlWe'll probably see stuff at Toy Fair New York (mostly things we already saw) but with dates this March. The rubber bodies are at least going away with the Street Shark theme variants
>>11290446I just hope it lasts long enough to get Mecha Shark. Or Shark Bot, whatever they called it.
>>11284687anyone know if these are going to be reissued? i missed the first wave or two. what does mattel typically do in situations like these?
>>11290043I wanted to buy them at retail but they never showed up. By the time I checked amazon the priced had gone way up. Im not paying 60+ dollars for ripster and jab each.>>11290036God please let a reissue of wave 1 happen
>>11290072I would buy rubberless versions in a heartbeat>>11290446>>11290493Seconding
>>11290617i hope you get a chance again. but just know you can always return or even scalp them if you get remorse.
