Street Sharks was an incredible show. It came in the wake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fever. Every cartoon had a toy line, and vice versa. Since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were even bigger and badder than Star Wars figures, toy companies needed to go even bigger and badder than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to be competitive. That's how the giant monstrosities that are the Street Sharks came to be. More plastic meant that they were better and tougher.. Right?
At the end of the day, the Street Sharks were a solid toy. They each had an action that could be performed by either twisting them, or touching their fins. Playability was the name of the game. The show wasn't too bad either, for a toy cartoon show. It's not like it's going to be award winning material.
