Rocky the Robot Truck
Rocky the Robot Truck is a hot Christmas toy for 2009 and it’s not hard to understand why. Has your 3-7 year old boy every wanted anything more than a big construction truck that would talk to him and dance with him?! Rocky the Robot Truck is a 4 year old’s dream come true. He’s got personality and can tell his own jokes. In between dumping his dump truck loads, he can do a little dance or break out in a snore while taking a little nap. Rocky the Robot Truck may be the best Christmas gift for any kid over 3 who loves construction equipment or interactive toys.
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.
Load Your Rocky Robot Truck 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. The truck is automatically set in dump mode, but pressing the red button on top of the smokestack several times will switch it 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.
Rocky the Robot Truck Makes 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.
Rocky The Robot Truck comes with four “C” batteries.
Rocky the Robot Truck Reviews
5 Stars My 5 year old loves this!
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)!
5 stars Great fun!
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.
