Created by Rick Ungar, Biker Mice from Mars premiered in syndication in 1993 and quickly became a cornerstone of afternoon television. Over 65 Action packed Episodes, Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie taught us that with your bros by your side and a sweet set of wheels beneath you, you could take on any intergalactic menace.

From the Small Screen to the Silver Screen: The Video Games
In 1994, Konami released the legendary Biker Mice from Mars game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). This was a classic isometric racing game that captured the gritty, punk-rock aesthetic of the show. Players could choose to race not only as the heroic trio but also as their enemies, including Limburger, Dr. Karbunkle, and Greasepit. You would tear through a variety of tracks, collecting cash to upgrade your bike’s engine, tires, and weapons at the Last Chance Garage between races. It was a high-speed, weapon-packed battle on wheels that remains a beloved classic among retro-gaming enthusiasts.
The NacelleVerse Rides Again: The Ultimate Collectibles
For decades, fans have cherished their old toys, remembering Modo’s bionic arm or launching Vinnie’s flares. The Nacelle Company has listened to the calls of the faithful and has unleashed the definitive Biker Mice from Mars collectibles. These aren’t just re-releases; they are the figures you’ve always wanted, designed with the modern collector in mind.
The NacelleVerse brings Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie to your shelf like never before. Each figure boasts 22 points of articulation, allowing you to pose them in dynamic, battle-ready stances. You can recreate the classic scenes from the cartoon or invent new adventures to stop Limburger’s latest plot. The detail is masterful, capturing the unique textures of their leather, armor, and fur.
The accessory load-outs are a dream come true for long-time fans :
- Throttle comes with his iconic Sprocket Launcher, blaster, a delicious-looking hot dog, and two interchangeable heads (one with his helmet on, ready for action).
- Modo features his powerful Rocket Gun, a blaster, a hot dog, and interchangeable heads, allowing you to display his determined expression with or without his helmet.
- Vinnie is equipped with his Grip Claw, a crowbar, a blaster, a hot dog, and his own set of interchangeable helmeted and un-helmeted heads.
The Future is a Four-Lane Highway
The return of these figures is just the beginning. The Biker Mice are once again gearing up for a major comeback. In partnership with Oni Press, Nacelle is publishing an ongoing Biker Mice From Mars comic book series. And in the most exciting news for fans, a full animated reboot is in the works. Executive produced by Ryan Reynolds, Brian Volk-Weiss, and George Dewey, the new series promises to bring the same blend of humor, high-stakes action, and heartfelt brotherhood to a whole new generation, while giving long-time fans the continuation they’ve been waiting for.
