Review Date: June 7, 2010
Reviewer: Keith R. Sweeney, Millville , PA
At Christmas time we were really on a tight budget, Rocky was 2nd on my Daughters list so he was a "had to get" I could not afford the big Rocky that she really wanted, but she could not tell the differance once she opened the mid-size, she was just as satisfied to see Santa remembered to get her Rocky, she loves him and plays with him all the time (we might splurge and get the big one for her birthday) I think this toy is an affordable "test drive" to see if the kid really loves him or if its just a waste of time & money fade the kid is having. I am glad I got him first because now I know the big one will be a good upgrade investment.
Don't waste your money!

Reviewer: T. King, Missouri
I'll start out by saying I received this truck yesterday and am taking to the post office this morning to return. Do not waste your money, the only thing about this truck that is like "Rocky the Robot" is the color. I guess we can say "What do you expect for $20." The descriptions makes it out to be completely like Rocky except smaller version. Not at all, yes it will say a few phrases, if you push down on the cheep looking load of gravel (I think that's what its supposed to be) in the dump bed. Yes will go up like Rocky, if you push it up and then it will say something. Besides losing my [...] for Rocky, I am now having to pay [...] to return, besides the shipping that Amazon charged me to send it to me. (even though I ordered it with other items and should have been free shipping) Have learned my lesson, only order things that I have actually seen somewhere else.
Agree with previous poster
 
Review Date: December 8, 2009
Reviewer: L. Guillory,
The description from Amazon was almost verbatim to the one for the other Rocky the Robot. This one has much less functionality. I would say this toy is more in the $12 range of functionality. I am returning this one. I am disappointed in Amazon's description. Usually, the descriptions give me a pretty good idea about the type of item I am buying. Maybe Amazon took this description directly from Mattel, who perhaps is to blame for the inadequate description, which led me to purchase this toy.
Returning it!

Reviewer: Savvy Shopper, Ohio
I agree. I got three of them today and what a joke. They are nothing like the bigger version and so I am returning all three tomorrow.

Product Description

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. 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.

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 four "C" batteries.

What's in the Box

My 5 year old loves this!
 
Review Date: October 27, 2009
Reviewer: Moongirl629, Baltimore, MD
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)!
