Street Sharks (1994): The Mutant Shark Action Figures of the 1990s

Street Sharks launched in 1994 as an action figure line produced by Mattel. Emerging during the peak of 1990s action figure culture, the brand followed the trend of muscular, anthropomorphic heroes popularized earlier in the decade.

The concept centers on four brothers transformed into humanoid sharks through scientific experimentation. Their exaggerated musculature, bold colors, and urban attitude defined their visual identity.

An animated series premiered in 1994 to support the toy line, expanding the storyline and strengthening brand recognition. The figures featured articulated jaws, action mechanisms, and oversized proportions typical of 1990s toy design.

Although the franchise had a relatively short lifespan, Street Sharks remain a recognizable symbol of 1990s action figure trends and mutant hero aesthetics. Vintage figures are now sought after by collectors of retro 90s toys.
