Jack Smack

Jack Smack was one of two Maniacs releases. He was advertised as "The City Dude With Attitude". He drove a large-scale Drift Tech which the player could interact with. The car required 4 "AAA" batteries, of which a test set was included with the toy; as the series was unsuccessful, the toy was discontinued after 2008.
