Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck

You can’t find a little boy without his little truck beside him. Hand him a dump truck and expect that immediately he’s off to “work” loading, hauling and dumping. Suddenly he’s a construction worker. Up to now, toy trucks have depended on children to make them mobile. This will keep the child busy for a while, but surely even toys can go to a higher level. Behold Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck, the next generation of toy dump trucks!

Rocky is the newest craze around! He talks, sings, dances and still functions and yet, it’s still your big old dump truck. This thing will blow every kids mind with its innovative interactive features. Rocky does not only roll around, it has its own personality. He can even stand and dance and even provides music! Have you ever heard a toy that tells jokes? Well Rocky surely can! His musical genre includes country, hip hop and rock. What happens when Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck gets tired? He sleeps and even snores and then when he wakes up, he can do push-ups!

All these tricks are made possible with the help of motion and sound sensors. Its truck bed has sensors that can detect a load and its action is controlled through voice activation, which help the children interact with the toy during game play. It also contains LED lights which blink and flash that gives visual stimulation and voice inputs. With all the high tech features, Matchbox still manages to keep it all simple for little boys to enjoy without much adult supervision. Most of his actions are controlled by a lever placed on side of his cab and skillfully concealed as his exhaust pipe. Even with the presence of such upgrades, Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck is still durable and does not easily get busted. It’s definitely a dump truck you wouldn’t dare to dump!
