DON'T LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWSJanuary 2, 2010 HELPDESKGUY(ohio) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We received this as a gift for our 5 year old daughter for Christmas. RC details are amazing! Like you took it off the Toy Story movie screen. Personality is dead on! Remote took some time getting used to however, was not that challenging. RC moves accordingly and for the review who wrote it does not move very fast...I don't think it was intended to race and it moves fast enough for any child who loves RC. Build quality is great!
Bottom Line:
If you love Toy Story and you Love RC then you will LOVE this toy!
A Truly Awesome RC Buggy Film Replica!January 31, 2010 Monty Moonlight(TX) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Here he is, the one remote control car made to be very authentic to the RC in the Toy Story film series, using PIXAR's own computer data for his design. This is the RC all the collectors are after, and for good reason. RC is fantastic, beautifully detailed, and he's fully operational too! He looks and sounds like he came right out of the movies! As with all these film accurate toys, yeah, there are a couple of inaccuracies, but most wouldn't notice them offhand. RC's got a fifth wheel under his body that allows him to turn and lift himself up. This fifth wheel is the main complaint stickler's of film accuracy have had about him so far, along with some folks who just don't like the idea of an RC car that can't turn its front wheels. Another inaccuracy is the remote, which has Forward and Reverse modes rather than Turbo, On, and Off (as in the films), and also includes a series of 4 buttons below the steering wheel that are not in the films. However, the general look of the remote is exactly like the film besides these tiny details changed for the sake of RC's functionality. Of course, many collectors aren't thrilled when film accuracy is sacrificed for play features. There are other RC toys out for the kiddies. As was mentioned, all the Toy Story Collection certificate of authenticity toys have problems like this, but they are still pretty amazing looking for us collectors, and the special play features are still fun, especially in a case like this, a remote control car. RC can do all kinds of stuff. A bit reminiscent of the R2-D2 interactive toy, RC has various fun modes like Explore, Talk, Talk Back(MIC ON/OFF feature), Follow, and of course the regular R/C mode. In the Explore Mode, RC will wander around on his own, very rarely bumping into anything thanks to his infrared sensors. If he does bump something, he has a good shock-absorbing front bumper to send him the other way. In Talk Mode, RC will do expressive movements and sounds (honking, spinning, shaking excitedly, and stuff like that), and in Talk Back Mode, he'll respond to your voice with such things. Then, there's the Follow Mode, which relies on your voice, something that never works perfectly well with interactive toys, but still works okay and is fun when it does. Basically, RC will come to you and follow your voice, you just have to be pretty loud. The four small buttons on the remote control these features, and the steering wheel and forward/back lever along with the trigger are how you do the basic R/C stuff.
Now, I notice there have been a lot of complaints here on Amazon about this toy, mainly I think from parents who bought this toy for their small children. Perhaps some or even all these cases are truly a matter of getting a defective RC, but I can't help but wonder since my RC worked quite well as soon as I loaded it with batteries. By the way, he takes 6 AA batteries, plus three AAAs for the remote. Something that might be confusing for some is that RC's different modes, including a sleep mode to preserve battery life, take some studying to get to know. I mean, one might think RC is ignoring them/not working when he is just in sleep mode or the wrong mode for what they want him to do. There are a lot of RC toys out there, and the fact is, this one is the one geared for older kids and collectors. You REALLY have to study the instructions on this one. For example, if you leave RC idle long enough to enter sleep mode, you have to press a button on the back of the car to wake him up. If you didn't notice that in the instructions, you might think he just quit working and never get him going again. There's also the Play, Off, and Try Me switch under the car. When you remove RC from his box, not only do you need to add batteries (and the 4 inside, just enough for the Try Me button and not enough for full play mode, are probably usually almost played out), but you also have to switch him from Try Me to Play. Switch him off when not using him for a while if you really want to save the batteries. Anyway, all these modes and buttons can make it easy to see why some unhappy folks may not have gotten a defective RC after all, though perhaps some did. Anyway, if you get a functioning one and read the instructions, I think most people will be very happy with this RC! Just remember that he is intended for indoor use only, and not for shaggy carpet. In fact, since his extra wheel is rather small, even on short/new carpet it can pick up fibers after a while. So, though he works well on tight, short carpet, be sure to check his third wheel out and clean off any carpet fibers that have collected after play.
The Toy Story Collection RC, the only one to get if you care about accurate size and appearance to the one in the Toy Story films, can be identified by its unique package design and its mention of included Certificate of Authenticity. That C.O.A. is how you know you are getting a Toy Story Collection toy and not one purely made as a plaything for kids. The desert road art on the package is meant to make it look like the package RC might have been in when Andy first got him rather than a toy based on a film. Unfortunately, as with all toys in this collection, these lovely packages have their fantasy nostalgia effect ruined by the Toy Story logo still being placed on the front. Oh well, saving packaging isn't the best idea anyway, though Woody's and Buzz's boxes look so cool except for that logo! Pricey and in need of batteries and practice using the instructions as a guide, RC is really for older kids and collectors, and for younger kids I recommend something cheaper and less complicated. However, if you're getting this for a real Toy Story fan who will appreciate its film accurate details as much as its cool features, I can highly recommend RC as probably the must fun toy in this excellent line. And, if you are a big fan that is new to this collection, the other toys released so far are Woody, Buzz, the Alien 3 pack, Rex the dinosaur, and the bucket o' soldiers. All of them have a small inaccuracy or two, but all of them are also the most amazing and accurate Toy Story toys released to date. Just make sure to look for the C.O.A. mention on the packaging, as there are cheaper versions out there of all these toys. And, so far, images have been released of upcoming Jessie, Bullseye, Utility Belt Buzz, Hamm, and Potato Head toys for this line, plus the new Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear character from Toy Story 3. Here's hoping we eventually see those released, and more! I've gotten all of them so far, and believe me, they look even more awesome when displayed together!
Loves his RCMarch 5, 2010 Christine A. Dasilva 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My grandson loves his RC car. He has had hours of fun with it. Seems to be very durable and child proof. Helping him with his motor skills. At 4 years old he said, "best toy I ever got in my whole life." Got to love them. Thank you.
RC lovin'January 5, 2010 A. Salemi(Rancho, CA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was purchased for my son, who is 5, for Christmas. He hasn't quite mastered remote control cars yet but he did have fun calling to RC and having him respond and attempt to follow him. All of the adults that saw this car loved it and wanted a chance to "check it out". It has some really neat features like: responds to your voice with movements and sound (horn honking), follow the sound of your voice, and explore (he just drives himself around). The only complaint I have is that the sensors are reallllly sensitive and sometimes if there is a lot of noise or a lot of furniture in the room he has trouble knowing what direction to go or he gets stuck trying to avoid things in his path. Overall I think it's a great toy and lots of fun for all ages.
Great ToyJanuary 5, 2010 Sungardener 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My 4 year old son received this toy from "Santa" for Christmas this year and absolutely loves it. It seems to drive just fine and looks exactly like the RC from the movie. I like that it has no trouble driving all over my carpeted home.
