Ran-dumb toys :: Turbo Jab Street Shark

I found this at the local thrift store and could not leave such a ridiculous toy behind:

This is 'Turbo Jab' and he is a Street Shark.

Apparently there were a few versions of a 'regular' Jab (as regular as an anthropomorphic Hammerhead can be that is) and this 'Turbo' version.

What makes him Turbo?

He transform...lays down and becomes a racecar!

And apparently a street cleaner. Lick it good, Turbo Jab!

Yeah, this is a pretty lame toy.

But I have to admit, he also has some ran-dumb charm. I suppose it helps that he's a hammerhead shark, which science has proven to be the coolest sharks around. He's also dressed like the X-Men, which is fashion mockery at it's finest but does affiliate him with Wolverine.

What do you think? Did I waste a dollar or not?

  1. I wish you could take off the wheels when he is standing up...I could see him as an Xman...LandShark!

    1. Yes, removable wheels would have improved this guy 1000%

  2. His mouth looks like one of those wind-up chattering teeth toys...except sharper and more awesome.

  3. I love him! I also love the notion that in the short run the Street Sharks had as being relevant, they had the opportunity to branch out into such oddities as this.
