4.0 out of 5 stars Great interactive toy, but needs some work, August 11, 2008

This review is from: Fisher-Price Manny's Transforming Tool Truck (Toy)

I was so excited when I first saw this toy. It looked like it came with quite a few of Manny's Tools and my son could actually take things apart and 'fix' them. There are 9 different fixing activities: toaster, clock, camera, fan, radiator, engine, air filter, battery, and spark plug. Most of the parts come completely off of the truck (not the engine or the spark plug). Manny makes suggestions on what to fix, your child may receive a phone call from a client stating that their item is not working properly, or your child can choose. The truck hood opens to fix the engine parts and the bed of the truck converts into Manny's Repair Shop. This set comes with: Rusty (pipe wrench), Felipe (phillips head screwdriver), Squeeze (pliers), Dusty (saw), and a vise. Once a project is completed, Manny congratulates the child on his/her accomplishment.

Here are the problems that I have discovered: 1. The wrench (Rusty) does not work very well. You cannot move him in a circular motion given the tight spaces of the screws. You need to constantly take him off and re-adjust. Therefore, my son opts to use the pliers (Squeeze), but he is not coordinated enough at this age to do so. He becomes frustrated and wants me to fix the item. 2. The saw (Dusty) has no real purpose and is not interactive. A piece of wood sits in the vice and you may freely saw the wood. No instruction is given and it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the toy. 3. Occasionally, Manny states (as he does in his show) to measure it twice and cut it once. However, this toy does not come with a tape measure. Not really sure what we are supposed to measure. It is just a random statement. 4. Where is Manny? There is a front seat that is large enough to store all the parts and still have room for a Manny doll. 5. The roof of the truck cab removes too easily. My son tries to push the truck or lift it by the roof and it pops off. I am constantly having to put it back together.

Overall, my son (and husband) like this toy. We do not watch the show, but it is a unique toy for children who like to try and fix things on their own. I only gave it four stars primarily for the price. We purchased this toy from Target for $55 (less than listed on Amazon), but I still would expect a Manny doll to come with it for the price.

This review is from: Fisher-Price Manny's Transforming Tool Truck (Toy)

My son (almost 4 yrs old) saw this on TV and really wanted it. I almost didn't get it because of the price but he was willing to do chores and he put some old toys in a yard sale and even set up a little pop and cookie stand. So it shows up at 2:00 pm and he played with it non-stop until bed. The next day we finally had to tell him to give it a break and play outside for a while. He absolutely loves it. The coolest thing is he now knows where the air filter, spark plugs, battery, and radiator is in Manny's truck. He also knows how to use a screw driver, wrench, hand saw, and pliers. He loves to work on all the little fix-it projects that he gets via the cell phone that came with it. Very cool toy and well worth the $60 bucks I spent. It put away small enough to be out of the way too! So if your kid likes the Handy Manny show, trucks, tools, fixing stuff, toy cell phones, and learning spanish/english words, buy this toy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Feeding the obsession, January 29, 2009

This review is from: Fisher-Price Manny's Transforming Tool Truck (Toy)

My son cannot get enough of Handy Manny. He got this truck from Santa. He likes it, but does not play with it as much as he does his other Handy Manny toys. He actually plays with it more when my 6 year old starts playing it, but I think it is more from the sibling rivalry standpoint rather than true desire to play with it. It is cumbersome to assemble as the workbench, then to put back together as a truck. My son definitely needs help in changing it from one mode to the other, which frustrates him. If you are hedging between the large tool box or this, definitely opt for the tool box.
