You are looking at a life-size, fully functional Masters of the Universe Land Shark. You can sit in it and drive it, or you’ll be able to when it’s finished. More impressively, just like the original toy vehicle, the shark mouth will move up and down as the car moves. I have seriously filled my pants with every bodily fluid I have available.
This miracle is being worked by Unique Movie Cars
Las Vegas, who are actually restoring the damn thing, meaning it existed before. It must have been a Mattel promo thing, maybe for Toy Fair or mall tours — hell, it could have been part of the Masters of the Universe on Ice show for all we know. At any rate, for more pics go to Lounge
Grayskull, and much thanks to Ben Leach and Poe Ghostal for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
