Matchbox Stinky The Garbage Truck
Yes, if it is stinky, icky, oozy, gooey, slimy, smelly or disgusting… little boys probably will LOVE to play with it… right? This should fit right in to that scenario this Christmas and will sure to delight a lot of little boys as a great holiday gift idea.
A toy garbage truck with a sense of humor, is probably the best way to describe the Matchbox Stinky The Garbage Truck. Stinky is the latest addition to the Big Rig Buddies range by Matchbox. Boys will love their new best friend and all of his features and interactive play modes.
What Can Stinky Do?
Stinky the Garbage Truck has more than 90 different phrases, songs and sounds. Be warned though, his personality is a big one, just like him. Just as you would expect a garbage truck to be, he is not shy and will tell you when he is hungry. Other times he will burst into song and even stand up and dance.
A feature on this toy that is different is the fact that you can feed Stinky through the grille on his cab. He eats small items and you can hear him chewing on them. Don’t worry though, they will be dumped out later. The bright green trash compartment can also have items placed into it and when the smoke stack is pulled he will dump it out of his rear door.
Being able to feed Stinky and watch him dump out his trash is the part that little boys love. This Christmas they will sit there for hours feeding him their little cars and other small items. When their friends come over it is often the very first thing that they will show them.
In his regular garbage truck shake he can be pushed and pulled just like a everyday toy truck. In this mode of play he blinks his headlights and turns his head, or cab, from side to side. He has articulated components in all the right places for ease of maneuverability of his cab, wheels and body.
Stinky has a range of sensory points that will activate different features. There is nothing cuter than watching him rear up and ask his little friend for a high five. Watching him do pushups is also fun. When Stinky has had enough, or he hasn’t been activated for a period of time, he will fall asleep and turn himself off.
The Matchbox Stinky The Garbage Truck is going to be a huge hit this holiday Christmas gift giving season, just like Rocky The Robot Truck was last season. The great thing about Stinky is that he has all of the features that Rocky has, plus more. He will be scooting off the shelves fast, so don’t be disappointed and get one today.
