This is the remote controlled grappler with realistic sound that puts young construction foremen in command. Its superstructure rotates 360º (while beeping), its arm extends, raises, and lowers, and its twin-jawed grapple opens and closes--all controlled with a remote that resembles the kind found in large earth moving equipment. The grappler moves forward, backward, left, and right on two treaded tracks. The grapple has five interlocking rubber-tipped teeth that secure small objects such as pencils, balls, or action figures. An ignition key button jolts the vehicle awake to a rumbling idle; you can apply the horn to warn workers to make way and turn on the vehicle's twin rear and twin cab lights when jobs go into the night. All sounds can be muted. Requires seven AA batteries. Ages 4 and up. 19 1/2" L x 8 3/4" W x 7 3/4" D. (3 1/2 lbs.)
