This is a very realistic crane. OK it is not a crane, but it is still very realistic. My son's favorite thing about it, is of course the CLAW. He was easily able to claw the bread stick at the restaurant.
It is "mostly" metal, as was pointed out by my son when I said that it was all metal (there are some plastic railing etc.).
One big disappointment was that the magnet attachment (the round thing instead of the claw). It is not a real magnet, but just a piece of plastic. I know that a real magnet would probably sometimes stick to the metal body, but why would they make a magnet "non-functional"? It is definitely not the fun attachment.

My husband broke this toy in 5 minutes and we had to return it. Very sad.

If this toys was advertised as a collectible It might have been what I expected. First of all it is rated above in fine print ages 7 and up when the box says 8 and up. Second of all I was looking for something my son could play with his tonka trucks. toy was NOT it. This toy is something that my husband and twelve year old thought was cool enough to put on the shelf and leave in the box. How fun is that? Amazon.com should relay demensions in thier online catalog or supply a phone number to have questions answered before a purchase is made. I was disappointed enough to eat the shipping costs and return the item to my local toys r us so I could by the mighty Crane by tonka for my sons sandbox adventures in time for his birthday.
