Fisher-Price Reviews

This is the second walking robot figure that I've had break. We've had dozens upon dozens of RH figures, vehicles, and accessories, and I've only ever had 3 things break, and two of them were the Walking Robotz line.

The other reviewer is incorrect about this walking robot, CMent, hooking up and talking with Jack Hammer. There are two lines in the Robotz series: Walking and Talking. The talking figures are robots that have 2 buttons, do not move, and they have a wire which hooks up to the back of the RH figure. The walking line do not talk or hook up to the hero figure with a wire. They have on off switches and a button to begin the walking feature. This robot is suppose to move forward while opening and closing it's front scoop section. After only a week, the forward motor broke, and it now just stays in one place while the front opens and closes.

As for the figure, it's the exact same one as the PowerMax Jack Hammer, with a bad color scheme repaint. I would recommend getting the talking Robotz Jack Hammer over this one, as we've never had a problem with the talking ones breaking. Even the Lava Squad Jack Hammer (also a repaint of the PowerMax Jack) is more exciting than this one.

My 2 1/2 year old really loved this set as his first real action figures. The figures are electronic and hooked together. Separately they each have sounds and voice but when connected together Jackhammer and C-ment1 actually communicate with each other as they tear up the roads and pave new ones. Kids love it because they can easily push the various buttons to hear the sounds. all the figures in th Rescue Heroes line are very durable and stand up well to the kind of abuse a pre-preschooler can dish out. Add to that the nice wide feet of the figures allow younger kids to stand them up quite easily as compared to normal action figures.

These are really fun, reliable and wonderful toys for young children. All of the figures have good storylines behind them. No small parts to worry about being swallowed. Good stuff!

I was on a trip to TN from IL and I was afraid my 11month old child would be a terror, but I got him this toy and he was an angel. He danced to the songs. Turned on the turn signal and shifted the lil gear. It was a great toy kept him busy for hours. I recommend this toy for any mom looking for her child to have a good time.

This monitor has so much static! We would always have to move it all over our bedroom just to find a good spot. Sometimes you can hear other babies crying! When it comes through our monitor we can't tell if it is our baby or not! And then to top it off, the cord broke so we ended up having to tape it to the monitor to keep it plugged in. Otherwise it would unplug by itself and we would wake up in the morning to find that it was off! The only good thing about this product are the lights but you can find that on other ones. Don't waste your money.... keep looking!

I have never had one problem with this monitor. It works great. Occasionally (once a month) you'll hear a cb radio come over the frequency for a second, but it doesn't wake the baby or anything and it's gone as quickly as it came. I highly recommend this monitor.

It works very well. I've had it for over one year and I have not had any problems with it. It gets no interferance. I can even hear my baby breath when he is in his room (on second floor) and I'm working outside in my yard.

My son got this one for christmas from a relative.. so far he has barely touched it.. thinking i should have returned it.. will see if he gets more use out of it when i start rotating toys around

this toy is great, except for when my 6 month old had his hand inside (holding on to the lip) and the turtle head gets pushed down the balls went to the side and got his fingers stuck. his finger was purple and we had a hard time getting them out. otherwise i like it i just am not sure how safe it is. i am still keeping it for now and watching him careful with it,but if it happens again i am taking it back.

My 6 month old son LOVES this turtle. He will try to catch the balls for the longest time as they spin around in the turtle's "shell". He isn't able to grasp them very well with one hand due to the balls being so much larger than his hands, but that encourages him to use both hands cooperatively. He can play with this longer than most of his other toys and has quickly become a favorite. We love Fisher Price toys, and this one is no exeption. A great toy at a great price. Highly recommended!!

It figures, after already writing good reviews about Tool Tech Billy Blazes and Tool Tech Jack Hammer (but noting that the durability is a question) we get Roger Houston, and right away there is a problem with his pull string. We are now also having problems with Jack Hammer's and Billy Blazes'. Roger's engine, even when working fine the first day we got him, usually got stuck against his legs, and would prevent it from working at all. The trick is to stand him slighty bent forward, so the jet pack propellers can spin without touching the back of his legs. Now, one day later, when you pull the string, it barely moves back inside or makes the propellers spin.

Our Billy Blazes string is getting completely stuck when you pull it all the way out, and you have to jar the axe to get it to work. Our Jack Hammer's drill is now moving very, very slowly as well. So that's 3 out of 3 Tool Tech figures that after less than a week (and less than 24 hours on Roger) are not functioning properly (but not completely broke).

Aside from the tool feature, this is a great looking figure, with him in his all white space suit. The only thing that is annoying is they are using the old Roger Houston face mold, which has also been used for Gil Gripper and Holden Breath, so we have 3 look alikes now!
