Ripster "A Shark Among Us" Pool Player (Loose Figure Only), Vintage Street Sharks by Mattel 1995
"THE ORIGINAL POOL SHARK IS IN THE BUILDING!" 🎱🦈
Before the 30th Anniversary remake, there was this legend. You are looking at the vintage "A Shark Among Us" Ripster, featuring the most iconic disguise in Street Sharks history.
Because in the 90s, if a 7-foot mutant shark wanted to go undercover, all he needed was a leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses. This figure is a cult favorite because it captures that peak Saturday Morning logic perfectly.
📺 THE LORE:
-
The Episode: This figure is based specifically on the fan-favorite episode "A Shark Among Us" (Season 1, Episode 4).
-
The Plot: In this classic storyline, Ripster (John Bolton) goes "undercover" to enter a high-stakes pool tournament to bust a crime ring run by Dr. Piranoid. He proves he isn't just a brawler—he's a tactical genius (and a pool hustler).
-
The Bio: Ripster is the oldest Bolton brother and the natural leader of the team. While he is known for his teeth and "Sea-Kwan-Do," this iteration highlights his cool, biker-style attitude and his skills on the billiards table.
🦈 FIGURE DETAILS:
-
The Look: This sculpt features Ripster's "disguise": a sculpted black leather biker jacket, brown trousers, and biker boots.
-
The Sculpt: Unlike the standard Ripster, this one has a specific grip hand designed to hold a pool cue (accessory not included with this loose item) and a "punching" action pose.
-
Condition: This is a LOOSE (No Box) vintage item. It has seen some action in the pool hall! Please note: There is visible paint wear on the teeth, nose, and jacket edges consistent with age.
-
Maker: Mattel (c. 1995/1996)
