I've purchased several WOW Toys in the past and am usually pleased. My 20 month old son LOVES helicopters these days and so for Easter we got him the Harry Copter Animal Rescue. Actually, his grandparents got him one too and sent it to him in the mail (apparently we need to start double checking who's getting what for him in the future). At any rate, he opened the one from his grandparents and I immediately realized that the trigger that operates the helicopter blades wasn't working. When I pulled the trigger nothing happened.

So, I opened the Harry Copter that I had gotten for him, figuring I would return the broken one. The second Harry Copter worked and the trigger caused the helicopter blades to whirl around. My son loved it. Unfortunately after 3 minutes (no exaggeration) of playing with it, the rotor broke and the trigger no longer caused the blades to turn. Which was the same problem with the first helicopter.

So two Harry Copter's with the same problem leads me to believe that this is a quality issue and not just a one time freak defect. My son loves the helicopter and he's too young to really realize it's broken, so I'm keeping one of the broken ones and returning the others. This was disappointing. I've contacted WOW Toy's customer service, we'll see if they get back to me.

I love this brand of toys because they require no batteries (green!) and they are super durable. My two-year old got this as a Christmas present and 4 months later still plays with it constantly. Nothing broken and very fun!

While I am not familiar with WOW, my grandson is. He loves this toy. I have seen it featured in many photographs. I continue to see this in photographs which means it is certainly durable! I rated three stars for educational because I cant see that helicopters would be rescuing lions and pandas in the same local...

I have bought several Wow toys for my son, who is 3. He breaks many toys, but not these. I was impressed with this helicopter because I didn't realize it had a magnet on it for picking up the "injured animals." I also like the trigger for rotating the copter blades. We also have the fire engine and dump truck, and they are awesome as well. These toys will really last.

The moving parts are great. The figures included are good for little hands. The magnet lift is perfect for pretend play. My granddaughter loves the sound the blades make and the magnetic lifter. Great quality and price. I am so glad to find toys for my grandchildren that will last longer then a week.
