This is as good as I hoped it would be - a year later it's still in great shape even after the rigors that a little boy can put it thru. I thought it would suck down batteries but haven't had to change them yet!

What a great little toy this is! Ours just is loved a ton and was a welcomed addition to the ladder truck we already had from Santa last year. This guy is the Fire Chief in our house and gets a lot of action in playtime. The only problem with this truck is that the stickers on the sides are quite flimsy and peel off rather easily, but other than that, it's made of durable plastic and plays the famous "We're Tonka to the Rescue! We're coming through for you." Plus it has all the sirens and radio calls included as well. You won't be disappointed in this one. Highly recommend!
