Stinky the Garbage Truck from Matchbox is an interactive, working garbage truck with a hilarious, larger-than-life personality. As the newest addition to the Big Rig Buddies line, Stinky features sensory points, an articulated body that allows his head and front half to move, and over 90 phrases and sounds. Kids aged 3 and up will be eager to make Stinky their best interactive buddy.

An Interactive Garbage Truck that Talks, Sings, Eats, and Dumps

Interactive Stinky is an articulated garbage truck that can be transformed into a tough, yet loveable friend. His moveable, white driver’s cab turns like a head, and his front wheels rear up–either manually or in response to different sensory buttons.

Stinky has a big, bold, and entertaining personality that he expresses with over 90 phrases and songs. Sometimes he’s all business, and will let you know that the cleaning crew is coming through. Other times he’s in the mood to sing, exercise, or solicit high fives. Boys who love interactive toys will find a fun new friend in Stinky. This rough-and-tumble vehicle features plenty of moving parts that define his distinct personality.

Feisty Stinky Features Many Modes of Play
Kids can turn Stinky off and play with him manually, just like a regular toy vehicle, but his five interactive modes are where the fun is at. When he’s pushed and pulled in his vehicle position, he’ll turn his head-like cab side to side and blink his headlights. To have Stinky speak, push or pull his smokestack, lift his rear door, or poke his belly button.

Stinky’s not shy about telling you he’s hungry. The grille of his cab functions as a mouth in which you can feed small items that’ll be dumped out later. Even Stinky’s bright green trash compartment operates like the real thing–drop small items into the top, and he’ll dump it out of his rear door when you pull on his smoke stack.

Who would’ve thought that a stinky garbage truck could sing? Push the button on his smoke stack repeatedly, and he’ll rear up to dance and belt out a funny tune. If Stinky is left alone for too long he’ll fall asleep; press his smoke stack to rouse him awake. He comes with four C batteries that are for demo purposes only, so you’ll need to replace them with fresh batteries before handing him over to the kids.

Matchbox Big Rig Buddies DVD Included
This DVD includes two exciting episodes featuring Stinky, a young boy named Felix, and the rest of the Big Rig Crew. Together, they’ll take on challenges and fun adventures that impress teamwork, friendship, and heroism.

Join Indy and his pals in his most exciting adventure – escaping the baddies in the Temple of Doom! The mine cart careers down the track after a thrilling escape via the secret trapdoor under the Temple of Doom in the nick of time from the evil Mola Ram who is chasing him in the next mine cart.

Whiz under the bridge and spring the trap – see the stones fall on Mola Ram and his wicked henchmen while Indy, Willie Scott and Short Round escape unscathed!

This is a terrific Lego set for any kid aged 8 to 14 (and probably those much, much older).  Build a complete mine track from Lego plus the Temple with its secret trapdoor and the bridge over the track with its cart full of stones ready to drop on the evil pursuers, load up Indy and his friends and start escaping!

The track is 37 inches long and not especially complicated to build, although the colours are a little dull (pretty authentic mine colours!).  The set includes two mine carts and six mini figures – Indy, Willie, Short Round, Mola Ram and 2 henchmen, and will give hours of fun for any kid big or small to build and play with.

What’s in the Box

Fur Real Friends Biscuit – My Lovin Pup

Imaginext Space Shuttle is a post from: Christmas Toys Review

Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup

This ultra-realistic FurReal pup is the perfect first pet for any little girl or boy. Biscuit responds to you and obeys six different commands: sit, lie down, sit up, beg and speak. He’ll also give you a paw when you ask if he wants a treat. Biscuit’s soft, cuddly fur and puppy-dog eyes will instantly win you over. Sitting pup measures 21″ tall.

Watch the video and you’ll be amazed at what this adorable puppy can do. A perfect gift for a young child.

Get ready to welcome a fun-loving furry friend into your house when you adopt Biscuit My Lovin Pup, one of the FurReal Friends by Hasbro. This oversized puppy responds to affectionate touches, voice commands, and motion with playful barks and realistic movements. Kids aged five and up are sure to love having a puppy of their very own.

Getting to Know Your Puppy
Nine sensors allow Biscuit to respond when you pet him or issue a voice command. Kids will enjoy the contented sounds he makes when they pet his back and the discovery that if they hold a hand on his back he will lay down, if he is sitting, or sit up, if he is already laying down. Sensors in his nose and mouth prompt him to sniff when his nose is petted or chomp on his treat. Touch his left paw, and he will raise it to shake. A unique photo sensor in Biscuit’s forehead prompts him to flinch, blink, or sneeze when you wave something in front of him.

Take a peek at the back of the bone-shaped tag on his collar to see all the commands he knows. You can ask him to “sit,” “lie down,” or “speak.” He even knows how to shake and will nod or move his paws in excitement when you ask, “Do you want a treat?” Like any voice recognition technology, Biscuit can be tricked by background noise or speech that is unclear. You may want to help younger children practice speaking the commands loudly, clearly, and distinctly, so they are not disappointed by his confusion.

Playing Options
Based on how much attention you are paying to him, Biscuit cycles through different modes. After a few moments of non-activation, Biscuit enters hangout mode. In this mode, he will move his head a little, whine, or bark to grab your attention. After a few minutes in hangout mode, he’ll lay down and go to sleep. Thanks to his photo sensor, he will go to sleep faster in a darkened room. If the lights suddenly come on when he’s been asleep in a dark room, he’ll lift his head and make a mumbling noise.

While the noises he makes when moving betray his mechanical nature, this playful pup has an incredibly realistic look that is sure to have kids grooming him, offering him snacks, and engaging in imaginative play. With so many life-like responses and an irresistible puppy face, Biscuit really lived up to our expectations. His large size coupled with the weight of six “D” batteries could make it tricky for children to carry him around or travel with him, which means that when you head off on family adventures, he’ll probably have to stay home, the same way a real dog often does.

What’s in the Box
Plush pup, collar, tag, plastic brush, plastic bone, and adoption certificate.

• Playtime is going to the dogs and this playful pooch is leading the charge
