Ripster Series 2 (Loose Figure Only), Vintage Street Sharks by Mattel 1995
"THE LEADER OF THE PACK IS BACK... AND HE'S READY TO BRAWL!" 🦈🥊
This isn't just a shark; it's a piece of 90s Saturday Morning history. You are looking at the Street Sharks Series 2 Ripster, instantly recognizable by his neon yellow trunks, silver "brass knuckles" power-fist, and the intense red "battle vein" detailing on his left arm.
While the Series 1 figure introduced the character, this Series 2 release (often associated with the "Power Punch" line) dialed up the attitude with a more aggressive sculpt and battle-hardened paint apps.
📺 THE LORE:
-
Who is Ripster? Before the mutation, he was John Bolton, the oldest of the Bolton brothers and a smart, tactical leader who loved shooting pool and riding motorcycles.
-
The Origin: In the pilot episode "Sharkbait" (1994), the evil Dr. Piranoid (Luther Paradigm) injected John with Great White Shark DNA using the Gene-Slammer, turning him into the leader of the Street Sharks.
-
Special Ability: As a Great White, Ripster has rows of teeth that can bite through steel and "Sea-Kwan-Do" fighting skills. He is the tactical genius of the team.
🦈 FIGURE DETAILS:
-
The Look: This is the sought-after Series 2 variant featuring yellow/green torn shorts and distinct red muscle detailing.
-
The Action: Features the classic "Power Punch" winding waist or arm action (common to this series).
-
Condition: This is a LOOSE (No Box) vintage item. It shows signs of "play wear" consistent with a toy from the mid-90s. Please verify paint rubs on the nose and knuckles via the photos.
