Editorial Review

Calling all Rescue Heroes! This Aquatic Rescue Command Center is the central gathering place for Rescue Heroes awaiting their next task. Sitting at the top of the vessel is a battery-operated message center with a virtual video screen. Insert the included video card to see and hear commander Warren Waters assign the Rescue Heroes (sold separately) one of six missions. Rescue Hero Mission Command figures (sold separately) can "talk" with Warren Waters by inserting a talking mission card (sold separately). Other areas of the structure allow for creative and imaginative play without the use of electronics, such as the pivoting rescue crane and whale figurine, elevator, buoy and life preserver launcher, backpack storage area, and hidden living quarters. Made of sturdy plastic, adult assembly and four "C" batteries are required. --Lauren Bernard

Product Description

It's the ultimate rescue headquarters - and the center of all the Rescue Heroes action. Loaded with exciting sound effects and "magical" Voice Tech Cards that bring missions to life, kids can see and hear Warren Waters relay missions from "space" to the Rescue Heroes figures on earth. For kids, these missions serve as "story starters" for their own imaginations to take off.

The Aquatic Rescue Command Center is equipped with areas for sleeping and "fueling up" rescue vehicles. There's even a maintenance area where heroes can work on equipment packs or repair their engines. Rescue Heroes fans will love the unique interaction made possible with Voice Tech and Mission Command figures. Vehicles and figures sold separately. Measures approximately 30.5" x 20" x 28". Requires 4 "C" alkaline batteries (not included).

This review is from: Rescue Heroes: Aquatic Rescue Command Center (Toy)

My 4 year old son is absolutely obsessed with Rescue Heroes. We have many of the figures, videos, all of the previous vehicles (old command center, turbo jet, fire truck, EMV, etc.) As much as I think the Rescue Heroes line of toys are wonderful and inspire imaginative play, I was disappointed in this new command center. For such an expensive toy (and for one that takes up so much space--it's huge!) I felt it does not have a lot of "active" features. The so-called "video" screen is nothing more than reflective pictures that "shimmer" for a simulated motion. Not that impressive after the first couple of times. The "elevator" is a joke--the Rescue Heroes fall off easily and it is difficult to maneuver up and down. The toy is basically just a large holding place for the watercraft, turbojet and helicopter. All in all, it is a durable, well built toy (except for the elevator) but I don't think it is worth the money. My son plays with all the figures (which are relatively cheap) for hours a day. The aquatic command center hardly keeps his attention. Believe me, I am a huge Rescue Hero fan, but I would wait for a big sale before purchasing this one.

My son received the Aquatic Command Center for his birthday and LOVES it, it has a lot of neat features. I cant say enough good things about it. I was really surprised at how big it is after its assembled. He hasnt stopped playing with it since he got it. He also has the first command center and many of the figures he got for Christmas last year and all still look brand new despite the general abuse of a 5 yr old... the whole line of these toys are extremely durable! Well worth the investment as it will last for years!

My 4 year old son loves this toy. I couldn't believe how big it actually is. It was kind of hard to put together
(especially with kids hanging over your shoulder)but it was definately worth it! He has spent hours with this thing. The only part I have a problem with is the elevator. It is hard for a little one to use without turning it sideways. Otherwise this is a great toy.
