Amazon.com Product Description

Perfectly appointed for daring animal rescues, Diego's Talking Rescue Center offers two sides of playing fun. Filled with the sights, sounds, and songs of the popular preschool series Go, Diego, Go!, this two-level, talking playset comes equipped with much of what Diego needs to leap into action, including cool details like jungle vine ziplines and a rooftop helicopter hook. With 70 rescue scenarios available at the click of button, Diego introduces information about animal sounds and habitat, encouraging kids to connect with the natural world.

Like his cousin Dora the Explorer, adventure-loving Diego rallies his friends with cheerful commands in Spanish and English, urging kids to overcome obstacles and complete the rescue with a joyful, "Mision cumplida! Rescue complete!". Five animal friends, including Baby Jaguar, are included to aid an articulated Diego figure on his adventures. Zip down the rescue cord and speed through the jungle on an ATV, or head up the elevator and climb aboard the helicopter. After the rainforest rescue is complete, the whole gang can relax in the well-appointed treehouse. Easily assembled, Diego's Talking Rescue Center requires 3 AA batteries (included). --Heather Lyndon

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Quality for the Price, October 22, 2006

By

This review is from: Fisher Price Diego's Talking Rescue Center (Toy)

My husband and I bought this for our son's 3rd birthday. He went nuts when it saw it at the store before his birthday, so we decided to get it for him. He loves imaginative play and Diego and we knew this would be perfect for him.

After putting the toy together, which was very easy, I noticed that it fell apart so quickly. The legs that hold the treehouse part of the the toy up constantly fall off if you try to pick it up and move it. When you push down the nest on the rooftop, which activates the helicopter to fly around, the whole rescue center wobbles around with it. The swinging door doesn't close all the way and the "zip line" that attaches to the little hut comes off when you try to slide Diego down it. The elevator lift doesn't slide up and down the post easily at all. You have to tilt it up and then slide it. The rescue pack that helps Diego slide down the zip line is very difficult to get on Diego.

As much as my son loves this toy, it is very frustating for him when it doesn't work like it should. I get lots of "Mommy can you fix this!?!?" when he plays with it.

If it wasn't $40 and maybe like $20, I wouldn't have been as disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best toy ever!, November 24, 2006

Jules "Happy Mama" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fisher Price Diego's Talking Rescue Center (Toy)

We bought Diego's Animal Rescue Center for our 2 year old daughter for her birthday, because she has really started getting into the Diego show and saw the toy on commercials. I was skeptical after reading some reviews about how the toy fell apart all the time. In fact, we almost didn't get it based on those reviews but decided to give it a chance at the last minute. My girls, ages 2 and 4 yrs. LOVE, LOVE this toy!! It has kept them entertained for hours and they really use their imaginations in acting out scenarios for Diego and the many animals! I would NOT agree with other reviewers about the quality. We haven't had ANY problems with this toy falling apart, everything works perfectly, even the zip line! It might break apart if your kids are smashing it around, but with average play, it is fine. Grandma and Grandpa bought the extra playsets, which gives Diego even more animals to rescue. My ONLY complaint is that I cannot find a set that has Alicia, Diego's sister, because my 2 year old LOVES her! All in all, a wonderful purchase! My kids have learned alot about animals and have been enthralled in play so mommy can get a little work done! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars So-so design but a favorite none the less, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Fisher Price Diego's Talking Rescue Center (Toy)

As other reviewers have already stated, the construction of this rescue center is not great. The legs fall out easily, the zip cord is disappointing and my kids can't move the elevator at all. That being said, my two year old and four year old love to play with it and create Diego adventures with the figures. So even though it isn't the best designed toy, it offers imaginative play and the kids love it.
