Moby Lick

Moby Lick is another failed experiment by Dr. Piranoid; Jets Taylor is friends with the Bolton Brothers (Street Sharks) and Bends.

Paradigm sought to create something strong enough to take on the Street Sharks after his experiments involving DNA injection into sea creatures such as a lobster (Slobster), a swordfish (Slash), and a squid (Killamari) had met with little success; as such, he chose Jets Taylor, who had the perfect DNA structure for the procedure to work. It worked with great success when he genetically mixed Jets with an orca and created what appeared to be a perfect creature. What he didn’t take into account was that Jets was a friend of the Bolton Brothers, and he ended up becoming a very powerful ally of the Street Sharks.

The Moby Lick figure was released as part of the second wave of Street Sharks; there are no known variants of this figure. Its only accessory, the red cap, is the hardest part of this figure to find, often becoming more expensive than the figure itself. Also, when purchasing this piece, we must ensure that its "action feature"—a lever that makes the orca’s large tongue spin—works properly.

This piece was re-released as part of the Mega Heroes series, a wave distributed in 1996 where the packaging was changed from the cardboard box used up until that point to the typical blister pack. In my opinion, this was a mistake on MATTEL’s part, since the cardboard box was what set this toy line apart from others. So, this figure can be found in two different types of packaging, though the figure itself remains the same.
