He's only 7 months old and he went bananas when he saw the truck and the eyes and the tires! My sons grew up with stuffy trucks (not Hess) that THEY loved and I wanted to give my grandson the same wonderful experience. It was doubly good that it was Hess because my sons grew up on Hess! Recommend this toy happily! Fast shipment, good value for the money and everyone loves a Hess!
