This item is an ultra-rare Mega Talking Ripster (Mail-Away Exclusive) action figure from Mattel's 1994 Street Sharks line.
off between Mattel employees while still in development. This would explain the Xerox Instruction sheet; i.e. the actual officially printed version hadn't been completed yet. 
Release Year: 1994
  • Manufacturer: Mattel
  • Special Features: Talking electronics and mail-away exclusivity.
  • While Mattel has never officially released exact manufacturing numbers for the 1994 Mega Talking Ripster (Mail-Away Exclusive), it is widely documented as one of the rarest and most difficult-to-find items in the entire Street Sharks toy line.
Collectors often refer to it as the "Holy Grail" of the series because it was never sold in retail stores and did not have standard retail packaging. Instead, it was shipped in a plain white generic mailer box.
Factors Contributing to Its Rarity:
Mail-In Requirement: It was only obtainable by sending in a specific number of UPC codes or points from other Street Sharks figures, naturally limiting the number of people who could acquire one compared to standard store-bought toys.
Limited Production Window: It was part of a specific 1994 promotional campaign.
Condition Scarcity: Because it was a mail-away item, many were opened and played with, making "New in Box" (NIB) examples—where the figure is still attached to its cardboard insert with the bagged fin—exceptionally rare.
Height with detachable fin: circa 12"

Box Dimensions: 11' x 8.25" x 7"

Also note: I try and enhance the pictures as much as possible to bring out every possible detail, which sometimes results in an image so sharp every speck and mote is visible. THESE ARE NOT FLAWS, just super-magnification effects. If you have any doubts or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
