My son got this truck for his 5th birthday. So far, it seems to be durable. It does everything it’s supposed to do (as seen on TV…). It has a ton of phrases and voice interaction- “Make a sound if you want me to dance”. The price seems to be worth it. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone looking for a fun toy for a boy (or girl)!

I got this toy for my 5 year old but my 3 year old and 10 year old love it. It does a ton of different stuff, looks cool, and even though my boys have been given it a go – it has held up great. Seriously, a great gift or something for the kids. You won’t be disappointed.

I wanted to write a review on this product as a warning to everyone. We ordered this truck as a present for my 4-year old’s birthday, upon careful inspection of the truck itself he really does enjoy it. BUT BEWARE OF THE PACKAGING!!! This is why, In trying to remove the toy from the box, I first took the tape off of the lid and opened the box, next I’m trying to get the piece of cardboard the truck is tied to out of the outside cardboard box (which of course is also taped together#. Upon finally getting the boxes separated I find on the bottom of the outside box #so it was in between the outside cardboard box and the piece of cardboard the truck actually sits on and is tied to) right along with the directions is a spring loaded box cutter (RAZOR BLADE AND ALL!). If I had opened the box from the bottom instead of the top) it would have been the first thing I had in my hands. The UPC code is 0027084740684, MFG PART 0002708474068, ALT SKU WI 8625, on the box cutter it says “MATOR-HANDY INDX #444, SOLINGEN GERMANY”, P4458 is printed above the UPC, 23990F is the number actually pressed into the bottom of the box under the UPC. I would recommend that everyone open the bottom and potentially the top of the box and just make sure there’s nothing extra in the packaging before wrapping it up and leaving your child to open it on his or her own on Christmas morning.

This is such a neat toy! It does everything you see in the commercial and has held up very well to some rough play. It dances, moves around and talks, and my 3-year old thinks it’s the coolest truck in the world. His favorite part is when the truck stands up on its hind wheels and dances. It is a little more pricey here on this site (more reasonable locally) but seeing the joy in my son’s face as he explores this robot truck has made it all worthwhile. Highly recommended!

My 3.5 r old son just got this for the holidays. I thought it would be a big hit, but I was very wrong. He’s not impressed with it’s robot actions – the only one he likes is the dumping action. He then got his finger caught between the wheel and the wheel “flap?” (the rounded cover over the wheel) and could not get it out (my prediction – recall). Once we extricated him he turned it off and tried to play with it like a regular dump truck but even gave up on that because you have to fight the mechanics to do so – since it’s motorized there is resistance when you try to move pieces manually since they’re meant to be moved by a motor. I should have just gotten him an old school tonka dump truck for a lot less money and he would have been much happier. He has already told me that we can give this one “to charity for kids who don’t have toys.” I’m all for charity, but the $50 new toy was not my next planned donation….
I see reviews where kids like it but it’s not for my kid. He’d rather move a truck around himself so he can go as fast/slow as he wants and control what it’s doing and crash it without worrying if it’s going to break. In his own words, he wants “a real dump truck toy.”

The topics and humor in this show come fast and in a highly random manner, which may not appeal to everyone, but if you like the old 1-minute “blackout” type of sketches done years ago on many variety shows, then Robot Chicken will appeal to you. If a gag misses the mark for you it will be over fast and the next one will be rolling by moments later, a gag that may be very different and a lot funnier to you. There’s something for everyone, as pop-culture, politics and more are skewered using action figures and other models in a rapid parade of stop-motion comedy sketches. My personal favorites are those that use action figures from some popular cartoon, comic book or movie, placing them in character in situations where they are forced to deal with everyday frustrations and problems. It’s bust-a-gutt funny when you see Lex Luthor and Skeletor stuck in traffic, Transformers suffering from severe chronic illnesses, and more. There’s also a hilarious bit where a stop-motion Mark Hamill (who voices himself) walks off the set of Star Wars after Darth Vader spouts a string of the most improbable explanations of how things work in Star Wars mythology. Many other actors and well-known personalities provide guest voices on the show, often poking fun at themselves or work they have done in the past.
Robot Chicken Vol. 1 is funny enough to warrant repeated viewing and I’m looking forward both to buying this DVD set and to seeing the second season of the show which begins in April 2006.

I just wanted to write this review because the only review of this show is actually wrong. The show isn’t claymation, it’s stop motion action figures. The orgins of this show actually stem from two things: the mad scientist scenario is an homage to MST3K and the actual programs are an extension of a feature titled “Twisted Toyfare Theater” in a magazine entitled Toyfare. Okay, now that I have clarified these miscrepancies, on to an actual review. The shows aren’t exactly peabody award winners, but if you’re like me and grew up in the 70′s and 80′s you’ll get a good chuckle out of seeing your favorite action figures in hilarious and sometimes compromising positions. My main problem with the show was that the episodes are only 13 minutes long. Something like this definitely needs to be upgraded to a half hour at least. If you’re a fan of Family Guy and it’s ilk, give this show a good look, but if you are easily offended, steer clear. It’s definitely not a kid’s show.

About 3 minutes is missing from “Vegetable Funfest” – there’s a “Teen Titans” sketch which featured Beavis & Butt-head, and apparently MTV/Viacom took issue with this, so the piece was cut from the DVD.
Keep your broadcast recordings to see it uncut!

A few years back while at film school, I was trapped at a boring party where the host decided to drag out an old videotape that featured his version of Star Wars using his old action figures. It was so painful and boring that I swore Congress should enact laws banning such forms of entertainment.
When I heard about Robot Chicken, I braced myself for the worse. Thankfully I didn’t write my senator. Seth and his gang have created a fun spoof of things from the last 30 years using action figures and in many cases – real celeb voices. I’ve been glue to the show since it first hit Adult Swim. Hey that really is Joey Fatone trying to avenge his former boybanders’ murders. It really is Scarlett Johansen dating the geek.
They keep the jokes coming in the 11 minute episodes so it doesn’t get as boring as an episode of SNL. Sure not everthing clicks, but you don’t have too long to wait for the next piece. Some may call this “MTV” style, but it’s from Martin and Rowan’s Laugh In even a bit of Dave Allen at Large.
I do have a lot of favorite moments, but the Shatner’s wig saving the world is a medal winner.

ROBOT CHICKEN – VOL I
-
Twisted – Check!
Demented – Check!
Funny – Check!
Highly Entertaining – Check!
THE PREMISE, a mad scientist makes a robot chicken, brainwashes the chicken and forces it to watch non-stop, countless hours of TV, the sketches that we see, are apparently a conglomeration of what the Chicken’s Brain has registered.
-Sound odd? Indeed it does….
Seriously, Robot Chicken, is fantastically, well thought out, sketch comedy using cartoons, toys and references which any child of the 80′s (like myself) will enjoy. It is done in Start/Stop animation and hysterically funny… poking fun at such characters as Scooby Doo, Transformers, He-Man, Volton and then some more modern characters like the Olson Twins and Hilary Duff.
Overall there is just too much going on to really attempt to describe it, Just watch this, reminisce, laugh and enjoy.
-5 Stars
