Product Description

Editorial Review
Those of us who spend a lot of time looking at, evaluating, and playing with toys often complain that they all start to look alike after a while. After all, a racetrack is a racetrack and a doll is a doll right? But once in a while, a toy comes along that really makes us sit up and take notice. In that vein, the Hot Wheels Slimecano is easily the weirdest toy we've seen in a long time. The idea is to power up your Hot Wheels car (none included) using a special charger at the base of a big brown mountain with a creepy snake face carved into it. Then while the mountain starts spewing slime, you race to the top, avoiding falling boulders and trying to successfully jump over a pit of goo. The mountain shakes periodically and plays five different sound effects. The Slimecano promises a lot of action and happily it's well-designed so everything works pretty well. Although we're not sure how much sustained play value the Slimecano will have over the course of months and years, it at least brings a unique and bizarre element to the racetrack category. --Charlie Williams

Product Description
Slimecano wants you. Enter into the ultimate Lava Land adventure where only the fast survive. Will you escape Slimecano or will he melt you for breakfast? Slimecano spews lava, throws boulders, shakes and grumbles. Start at the fuel up, launch, Slimecano erupts, time it right and way you go. Don't get stuck in the pit or you loose. Hot Wheels vehicles sold separately. For use with select 1:64 scale Hot Wheels vehicles. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included). Measures 23"L x 30"W x 21.5"H.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor quality especially for the price, September 26, 2004
By Jenma "k9kid5555" (Fresh Meadows, NY) - See all my reviews
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
difficult even for a parent to put together. doesn't stay together, keeps coming apart. makes a mess. you have to clean it and put it back together everytime you play. cars get stuck on the tracks--this is NOT a racetrack! Can't get the cars to follow ALL the tracks-really just follows one track. VERY, VERY VERY POOR construction, especially for $45 it is really junk. But my 5 y/o daughter just loves the messy goo, noises, etc--

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!, October 28, 2004
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
My son got this for his birthday. It took an hour to put together and then we had to find a car that was light enough for the launcher to propel the car all the way up. Almost all Hotwheels cars do not work and we have hundreds. Then the cars get stuck in these tight corridors. Plus there is the mess of the slime. Once you put it all together, it says that it shouldn't touch carpet, clothes, furniture, walls, just about everything. This is a lot of money and it is not worth it. Do not buy!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money, November 25, 2004
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
My son bought this toy with his birthday money based on the false advertising on the front of the box. This toy is not a race track and yet the picture leads you to believe that it is. Its hard to put together, the cars do not stay on the track and the slime stains everything it touches.
What you get is some very expensive slime! My son was completely disappointed, especially when the store would not take it back because the box had been opened.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Whoever made this toy made a lot a money for the company, yet also created a very disallusioned future toy buyer!
