Penelope's Inter-Active Arts

For a toy to with the name of “Stinky”, this one sure is quite popular. In fact this is one of the hottest toys for kids this year. Stinky the Garbage truck is one of the top toys and gift options in Christmas 2010. You just have to look past the name and consider his more admirable qualities.

Working Garbage Truck

Colorful toy trucks are quite an attraction, especially for little boys. Toddlers can have quite an affinity to this toy, being recommended by the manufacturer for kids at least three years old. Other than just being an electronic truck that runs around, this toy garbage really does his job. It actually picks up garbage, more like eats them up to be exact, and spits them out a little later.

Adorable Robot

Other than being an efficient little toy truck, Stinky can also transform into a really adorable little robot. This little truck’s driver cab rears up and acts as the robot’s head while the two front tires go up as well to function as the arms. Don’t expect him to transform like one of the Autobots or other Transformers. He’s way too cool for that and besides, he’s not an alien robot from outer space.

Interactive Modes

Sure, pushing and pulling around a toy truck is fun for toddlers. However, Stinky the Garbage Truck packs a lot more fun than that. Now, this toy is interactive. That’s just a fancy way of saying that the toy is programmed to respond to different controls given by your little tots.

For instance the head or the driver’s cab can turn just like any other huge robotic head. You can transform this robot toy manually or just make him move or transform via the sensory buttons on the toy. This toy is packed with a lot of things to say. It has almost a hundred songs and expressions to keep your toddlers giggling. This guy will even blink his standard issue headlights for a little dramatic effect.

Some of the controls include pulling or pulling on his smokestack, which makes him talk. You can also poke his belly button or lift his rear door to see what crazy thing he will do. Take note that Stinky the Garbage Truck won’t make second thoughts about telling you that he’s hungry.
