2.0 out of 5 stars Fragile--not good for a toy, February 25, 2009

This review is from: Cars: Mater (Toy)

Our son loves Mater so I bought two of these after reading the reviews. Within two days both had lost a wheel and the teeth detached from one of them. The side mirrors and hook are flimsy plastic and will probably break soon too. They had been knocked off a coffee table, or dropped accidentally, but every other kid toy seems to be built with this eventuality in mind and holds up. I would not recommend this toy for a child that is in any way rough on toys. I only hope the super glue holds them together long enough for him to move on to something else.

Good as collectables, not so good as actual toys that you play with.

My daugter has broken the hook off of Mater (bought her a new one), broken the wheel off of Dynaco McQueen, and broken the front axle off of the tractor. Mater's tow equipment is made with a softer cheaper plastic than the rest of the toy, and I expect the new one to break any day now.

Without being too sexist, I want to point out that my 4 year old daughter is probably more gentle on them than the average boy playing with them. They have never entered a sandbox. They have not been stood on, nor thrown, nor been monster-trucked by a bicycle.

While I will still probably buy more, as my daughter loves the Cars movie and wants to own them all, (including Frank, which they do not make) I would say to all: buyer beware!

Before you purchase Cars or any other Mattel product, please consider Mattel relies on Indonesia's rain-forests for it's packaging and is putting endangered Orang-utans and Tigers at risk. Indonesia's last remaining Orangutans and Tiger rely on this habitat and will surely vanquish for the earth forever if this process does not stop; all for the sake a toy packaging, rediculous. Please protest Mattel and choose a more environmentally sustainable toy for your children until Mattel agrees to discontinue this horrible, needless practice.
