With its ability to speak, sing, dance, and launch “water” balls, the truck is a great toy that really interacts with kids during play. Depending on his positioning, Smokey can operate in one of two main modes–character mode or truck mode. Smokey is in character mode when he is half or fully upright, and says phrases such as, “Smokey here! Reporting for duty!” When Smokey is on all six wheels, he is in truck mode and can be pushed forward and pulled backward to activate lights and sounds.

  1. Looking at the yellow Tonka truck took me back to when my son was small, but the trucks were metal then.

    I love these trucks, they would be perfect for any little truck lover, and they are all eligible for free shipping. What’s not to love?

    1. Mindy, I’d also wished I had Smokey before I grew to big to play with toys. This one in particular is a really amazing toy truck that also transforms into a talking toy robot!!! wow
