Smile, You Son of a…!
Remember that feeling of sheer terror as you carefully tried to fish items out of a plastic shark while the “dun-dun” music played in your head? NECA has brilliantly resurrected the classic 1975 Ideal Toys game that was everywhere during the original Jaws mania, but with a massive upgrade that makes it worthy of any serious collection. This isn’t just a nostalgia cash-in – they’ve completely reimagined the shark with film-accurate details that make it look like it swam straight off the screen and onto your shelf.
The game itself is ridiculously fun and nail-bitingly tense (just like the first time you played it). Use the included spear to carefully hook and retrieve over 15 different items from the shark’s belly without triggering those spring-loaded jaws. The accessories are brilliant little nods to the film – from the classic boat items to a cheeky Amity Island license plate. When not terrorising your friends with nail-biting gameplay, this shark makes an impressive display piece that pairs perfectly with NECA’s Quint and Hooper figures. It’s the perfect way to complete your Jaws collection with the star of the show – the shark they didn’t show for the first hour of the film!

- Nostalgia Overload: Relive the childhood panic of trying to retrieve items before the jaws snap – now with even better looks!
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why is this called “The Game of Jaws” and not just “Jaws”?
A: There’s an interesting bit of licensing history here! The original 1975 toy was officially licensed as “The Game of Jaws” by Ideal Toys. NECA has maintained this title for authenticity and to distinguish it from their film collectibles while still nodding to the original toy that many of us grew up terrified of! - Q: Can this be displayed with the NECA Quint and Hooper figures?
A: Absolutely! While the shark is larger than true 7-inch scale (because it needs to be big enough to function as a game), it displays brilliantly with the other Jaws figures. After all, the shark in the film was unrealistically large too! - Q: Is this just a remake of the original 1975 game?
A: It’s much more than that. While it functions like the classic game, the shark has been completely resculpted with movie-accurate details that the original toy lacked. Think of it as the ultimate upgrade – both nostalgic AND collector-worthy. - Q: Does it really work like the original game?
A: Yes! The jaws actually snap shut when triggered, so there’s genuine tension while playing. Some assembly is required, but instructions are included to set up both the display and gameplay features.
