Folks, be careful. Unless you hate your children, don't buy this toy. Go buy a nice Tonka truck instead.

As you've probably guessed, this a cheaply-made plastic crane from China. Why is it $40? Surely not because lead paint is more expensive... perhaps because of the "radio control" feature? Unfortunately, that doesn't work at all. We tried new batteries, different distances, etc. It worked for a minute (only when touching the remote control antenna directly to the receiver) and then failed altogether.

Even if the electronics worked this toy really couldn't even be remotely considered 'fun'. And without them, it's useless since there are no manual controls.

Spare yourself the hassle of buying this junk and returning it.
