JAWSOME 90'S FIGURES COMING BACK THANKS TO KICKSTARTER !

First of all, ToyFarce News would like to wish you a happy Easter!

The biggest story coming out of last week was the McFarlane Toys Spawn Kickstarter, a crowdfunding campaign to produce a remastered version of the very first Spawn action figure from 1997. The campaign was very successful, as it reached its $100,000 goal within minutes, and sits around $1,200,000 and counting, at time of writing.

This has shown other brands that there is a demand for remastered, revamped versions of our beloved 90's toys. This is why the American toy giant Mattel has started a campaign of their own, and it is a JAWSOME one: the first Street Sharks Kickstarter campaign!

Street Sharks was an animated series about crime-fighting half-men/half sharks that aired between 1994 and 1997. The most memorable things about Street Sharks were the amazing figures that came out of it. One of the best features of the figures was their 'real-feel shark skin', which was some sort of soft rubber, which made the figures really feel different.

The first figure to be re-released will be Ripster. As Vin Diesel said: "he's the leader of the Street Sharks, he's a great white, he's got real-feel shark skin, and his special power is the right-hand roundhouse punch. He sends the competition to a watery grave". To hear more about Street Sharks from Vin Diesel (we are not kidding), click here!

The packaging will be the exact same one as the original figures from 1994. If the first Street Sharks Kickstarter campaign is successful, Mattel is planning to release the 4 main characters (Ripster, Jab, Streex and Big Slammu) in their remastered, more jawsome, more articulated version, with even more real-feel shark skin!
