Amazon.com Review

Mattel's Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck is an interactive dump truck designed for children ages three and older. Talking, driving, lifting, dumping, and even dancing, this toy dump truck is a boy's robotic companion. Speaking over 100 phrases, Rocky has a clever line for everything. You can do all the work by hand, or get him to help out.

Rocky the Robot Truck Ages: 3+ Requires: 4 "C" batteries (Included)

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Novelty factor: The Good: "Hard work" made enjoyable with talking and jokes. The Challenging: Difficult to get directly to dance mode. In a Nutshell: Interactive robot truck lifts, talks, dumps, and dances.

This is no ordinary dump truck -- Rocky talks and dances. View larger.

Load 'Em Up and Move 'Em Out
Built with strong, durable plastic, Rocky is ready to handle heavy loads. Your child can manually tilt his dump bed to unload it -- or make some noise and he'll do it for you. And when you push Rocky forward or pull him backward on all six wheels, his blue headlights are activated and he'll make some noise of his own, with engine sounds and honking.

The smokestack on the front of the truck is the primary way to control this robot truck. Tilting the lever back gets Rocky to stand on his back four wheels. Automatically set in dump mode, pressing the red button on top of the smokestack several times will switch the truck to dancing mode, where he'll shake his upper truck body to music. Pushing the lever forward returns Rocky to a normal truck position.

The red button also cues Rocky to say one of his many phrases or jokes, and also wakes him up if he's taking a nap. If you don't play with Rocky for a while, he will go into sleep mode -- a may even snore. Kids get Rocky's attention by placing objects in his dump bed, or by pushing or pulling him.

Make Some Noise!
Rocky is very responsive, interactive, and engaging -- often prompting kids to make noise so he can show off his dancing and dumping skills. Because you can play with him manually or with his help, Rocky makes playtime easy and simple. However, with only one button for a couple of operations, Rocky's automatic modes may take some getting used to for younger children. They may have a difficult time getting directly past the robot's talking to get to the dancing mode.

Rocky The Robot Truck comes with batteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 5 year old loves this!, October 27, 2009

This review is from: MATCHBOX Rocky the Robot Truck - Deluxe Rocky (Toy)

My son got this truck for his 5th birthday. So far, it seems to be durable. It does everything it's supposed to do (as seen on TV...). It has a ton of phrases and voice interaction- "Make a sound if you want me to dance". The price seems to be worth it. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone looking for a fun toy for a boy (or girl)!

I got this toy for my 5 year old but my 3 year old and 10 year old love it. It does a ton of different stuff, looks cool, and even though my boys have been given it a go - it has held up great. Seriously, a great gift or something for the kids. You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE OF THE PACKAGING, November 27, 2009

I wanted to write a review on this product as a warning to everyone. We ordered this truck as a present for my 4-year old's birthday, upon careful inspection of the truck itself he really does enjoy it. BUT BEWARE OF THE PACKAGING!!! This is why, In trying to remove the toy from the box, I first took the tape off of the lid and opened the box, next I'm trying to get the piece of cardboard the truck is tied to out of the outside cardboard box (which of course is also taped together#. Upon finally getting the boxes separated I find on the bottom of the outside box #so it was in between the outside cardboard box and the piece of cardboard the truck actually sits on and is tied to) right along with the directions is a spring loaded box cutter (RAZOR BLADE AND ALL!). If I had opened the box from the bottom instead of the top) it would have been the first thing I had in my hands. The UPC code is 0027084740684, MFG PART 0002708474068, ALT SKU WI 8625, on the box cutter it says "MATOR-HANDY INDX #444, SOLINGEN GERMANY", P4458 is printed above the UPC, 23990F is the number actually pressed into the bottom of the box under the UPC. I would recommend that everyone open the bottom and potentially the top of the box and just make sure there's nothing extra in the packaging before wrapping it up and leaving your child to open it on his or her own on Christmas morning.
