The Street Sharks Return to Conquer Your Shelves
In a move that no one asked for but everyone needed, the most muscled sharks of the 90s are back, this time in Funko Pop format. It seems that someone at Mattel decided the world needed more half-human, half-shark creatures, but with disproportionately large heads. And here we are, amazed by this peculiar combination of nostalgia and vinyl.
"Who needs scientific ethics when you can have sharks with biceps?"
— Unofficial Street Sharks philosophy

The collection includes the most iconic characters from this 90s gem:

All available so you can recreate on your shelf those epic battles that marked your childhood.
The Most Delirious Sci-Fi of the 90s
The series' premise was as absurd as it was glorious: a mad scientist mixes human DNA with shark because... why not? The result: four brothers turned into swimming machines to fight crime, each specialized in a different type of shark and with more muscle mass than common sense.
The main villain, Dr. Piranoid, was basically what happens when a researcher fuses with a piranha and decides his life's purpose is to annoy some humanoid sharks. Impeccable logic.
Where to Enjoy This Aquatic Madness
For the brave who want to relive (or discover) this animation gem, the full series is available on PlutoTV. You only need:
- An internet connection
- A peculiar taste for the retro
- The ability not to question why a shark needs pants
So now you know, if you always wanted to see mutant sea creatures destroying a fictional city while showing off their abs, this is your moment. And if you're embarrassed to admit it, you can always blame the Funkos. 🦈
Note: No real sharks were harmed in the creation of these figures, although several marine biology concepts were completely ignored. 😅
