Croc Cruncher

The Croc Cruncher set is a rare track set from 2009, This set's gimmick featured a crocodile with a looping tail. Once a car was launched toward the croc, it would loop around to the tail, only to get chomped. A second car was needed to hit the croc and help the first escape its jaws. After being hit, the croc's looping tail would fall to the right side.
