Editorial Review

Fully equipped for the uber rescue mission, this souped-up spacecraft doubles as a jet and a Rescue Heroes command center. The top of the jet flips open to reveal an electronic screen and an operations deck, where Keytron, a robot, plugs into the control board to relay missions to the team. Included are two tethered backpacks which, as Rescue Heroes fans know, allow the action figures to communicate. What's more, the jet itself transforms into a giant robot, with a deployable space pod as the head and a tank-like tough-terrain vehicle down below. This is a sturdy, sizable toy that those who enjoy Rescue Heroes ought to love, and it contains plenty of moving parts. Also included is a C.D. Moon action figure in a red space suit. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

One of the Best Rescue Hero Vehicles
My son loves this RH toy! It holds lots of guys (a big plus for him) and was easy to assemble (a big plus for me)! I think it stays together much better then the RH airplanes, which I'm always having to put wings and windshields back on. This Ambulance and the Bi-Pod jet are the best of the Rescue Heroes vehicles set!

We love it
We love this toy. We were so happy to finally see an ambulance. Otherwise, what does Matt Medic drive???We haven't had any problems with any parts staying on.My son is 3 and is thrilled with this addition to his huge Rescue Heroes collection.

Rescue Heroes Ambulance
Not as cool a toy as we had hoped.We have most of the other large vehicles and this one snaps together easily, but for price, not that great an ambulance/rescue hero vehicle.Difficult for the rescue heroes to stay on the fold out sections in the back and the stretcher never stays inside the vehicle.Wench in front does not stay on well either.Pass on this one and purchase the mission select police car, jet or fire truck.Much better values for the money! ...

rescue heros mission select
i just bought this toy for my friend and he love it. it is a nice toy and looks like it is made well,you have to use mission select figures though ,whitch are kind of hard to find since this is an old model toy, but i managed to locate a few whitch is enough to work with this toy and so other pieces that add on like the car and fire truck. i really like the fact that this toy will keep a child occupied for a couple of hours and tweaches them to use imagination.its a real fun toy for the child and his dad a 5 star for fisherprice and 5 stars for targets great price,and extreamly fast shipping. happy holidays.

What's the fuss!! Great toy!!
I've read a lot of the reviews some negative. Parents whine about how long it took to put together, the crane, spotlight and Radar coming off. Let me point something out that explains why they did this. The reason why these parts come off easy is because kids can be rough with parts that move. Imagine if the spotlight was fixed on and a kid leaned on it or yanked it to get a figure off. It would snap right off and you wouldn't be able to get it back on. As far as the crane, well, put a figure on it and hold it with one hand and use the free hand to work the winch. Simple as that. Okay, before you say, its easy for us adults to expect this from kids, but you teach a kid how to do this and from then on they do it. My son was 3 when he got this toy and he's now 4.5 and never cries or complains about what I read these other reviewers mention.

The toy is great. Hook up your mission select figures to it and they talk about the mission. It's great. My son loves to have his characters "Talk about the mission" as he puts it. And my 1.5 year old comes and pushes the button to hear them talk. There are a lot of pieces, just take your time putting it together and play with your kids. It's a lot of fun!

Disappointed in the durability of this toy.
I bought this for my nephew's 3rd birthday. He was so suprised when he saw it and he wouldn't stop playing with it. He was using the "cat condo" for the Heroe's to run their missions before he got the MACC. I know the cats are thankful for this gift. I think it's a great toy if you have a Rescue Hero fanatic in your house. However, like others have stated, the crane is not very sturdy, and that's my nephew's favorite part of the toy. Whenever he tries to use it the whole thing pops off of the top of the command center. I was having to hold it on while he played with it. Hopefully his grandpa can rig it so it works for him.

Luckily I got this on sale at Toys R Us for $29.99 so I'm not so put out by this designing flaw since grandpa will find a way to make it work. But I do feel for those who spent $69.99 on this toy. I would not recomment paying that kind of price for this type of quality.

All in all its a fun toy for the Rescue Hero's fan in your house but it does require a little aftermarket repair on your part for it to function properly.

We love this toy
Bought this for our son for his 5th birthday. He loves it. It did take an hour or so to put together. But we did it the night before. We also bought the Mission Firetruck to go with it. Yes you do have to by the Mission Rescue Heroes so it will talk, but it was well worth it. Our eight year old daughter plays with him, she likes it also. We also have a one year old daughter and it is nice to have out, because the pieces are not to small for her. All in all we are pleased with the toy and would recommend it to others.

This is awful
As a parent of a 4 yr old, I must say this is his and my least liked toy. It was a gift from his grandparents, so I didn't pay for it, but I personally would not buy it for even less than $5. It took forever to set up, is awkward to play with and the 'missions' are jumbled and uninspired. I wish I had kept the box, I would have returned it. ... Read more

Resembling a beefed-up Hummer, this all-terrain cruiser for Rescue Heroes figures sports a massive green body, jumbo studded tires, and working sirens and lights mounted to the top. A working tow wench rests on the orange front bumper, which is actually the head of a hidden "bumperbot," or robot, attached to the underside of the vehicle. When paired with a Rescue Hero, the robot communicates in English ("The smoke is heavy!"); otherwise, it's reduced to electronic gibberish. The truck is suitable for a variety of rescue missions--the bumperbot's pneumatic handcuffs, for example, can clear trees or pull victims from car wrecks--and would be a dream toy for many kids. Action figures are sold separately. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Rescue Heroes series of toys by Fisher-Price offers a nonviolent and positive alternative to the numerous violent and menacing toys on the market. Parents love the emphasis on helping rather than hurting, while kids just love how cool-looking the Heroes and all their gear are. This watercraft is really two vehicles in one. Separately, it's a personal water cycle, a pontoon boat, and a pair of water skis. All three can also be combined to form a super-vehicle. We liked the versatility of this toy, the effectiveness of the spring-loaded buoys, and the fact that it requires no batteries. --John Moe ... Read more

Loved it for a few minutes until the megaphone didn't work!
My son received this toy as a birthday gift and we couldn't get it out of the box fast enough. He was so excited and couldn't wait to play with it. It didn't take us long to figure out that the megaphone only partially worked. We couldn't talk into it like we were supposed to. I changed the batteries hoping that would help. Then it didn't work at all! I put different batteries in, changed them around, everything. I finally unscrewed the thing and looked at the wires. I was surprised to see the wires being held together with string and masking tape! Low and behold, a wire was lose. I tried to fix it and ended up breaking it entirely...within 10 minutes of having the toy. My son is so disappointed that I'll probably end up having to go buy a whole new one just for the darn megaphone! I'm going to see if Fisher-Price will send me a replacement part, but I'm not counting on it.

Big Billy Is A Big Hit!!
I purchased this item for my six year old son who is a die hard Rescue Heroes enthusiast. He LOVES it! The megaphone was a lot of fun for him, and he likes the idea of having a larger action hero to play with. For me and my husband, it was very reminiscent of our old GI Joe dolls. Rescue Heroes are great toys with an equally good message. We own most of the line, and Fisher Price should be applauded for not only making a quality toy at a reasonable cost, but for constantly evolving the line so there are always new things to buy at holiday and birthday time!

Big Billy Was Big Hit
I got Big Billy Blazes for my nephew's 2nd birthday. It was his first Rescue Heroes figure, and he fell in love with it right away. He figured out how to use the megaphone before most of the adults in the room did. My nephew brought Billy to bed with him that night, and now Billy goes almost everywhere in the car with him. And he is always talking about being a firefighter when he gets big. Billy is very durable and he was a big hit with my nephew!! I would definitely recommend this toy, as well as the other Rescue Heroes figures. ... Read more

Since they first appeared as Fisher-Price action figures, Rescue Heroes have been heralded for their courage, cool under pressure, and non-violent problem-solving, earning an animated TV show and a subsequent line of videos. For example, Billy Blazes, sporting a square jaw and a Tom Selleck-like mustache, spends his days fighting four-alarm infernos and helping fire victims. He's assisted by Firestomper, a strange-looking machine with four arching feet that flip it end over end toward the danger zone (remarkably well, we might add). Its ominous, mechanical sound effects make one wonder which trapped residents would fear more: the fire or the oncoming, crab-like robot. Required (and not included) are two AA batteries. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Since they first appeared as Fisher-Price action figures, Rescue Heroes have been heralded for their courage, cool under pressure, and non-violent problem-solving, earning an animated TV show and a subsequent line of videos. C.D. Moon and his robotic sidekick, Lift-off, for example, spend their days saving stranded astronauts and preventing intergalactic disasters. Like other Rescue Heroes, the two rely on a curious communication technique involving a tethered backpack plugged into Lift-off's circuitry. When the backpack rests on C.D.'s shoulders, and a button is pressed, the duo speaks in plain English ("Mind your programming!"); otherwise, Lift-off is reduced to unintelligible beeps, squeaks, and honks. These are ingenious, well crafted toys--with monstrous feet to boot--and imaginative kids should have a blast with them; it seems there'd be no end to the variety of rescue missions. Included are three AAA batteries and a detachable helmet for C.D. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Since they first appeared as Fisher-Price action figures, Rescue Heroes have been heralded for their courage, cool under pressure, and non-violent problem-solving, earning an animated TV show and a subsequent line of videos. For example, Gil Gripper, sporting a detachable helmet connected to an oxygen hose, spends his days saving swimmers, sailors, and folks who've fallen out of capsized boats. He's assisted by Goggles, a watercraft that resembles a giant, green duck. Pressing a button propels Goggles forward to the sound of grinding gears and motors; it works pretty well as long as the flippers are all lined up properly.

For example, Jack Hammer, sporting a wide-eyed, happy-go-lucky expression, spends his days helping earthquake victims and rescuing folks caught in the rubble. He's assisted by C-Ment, a robot that, decked out in bright yellow, resembles a miniature bulldozer. Pressing a button propels C-Ment forward, scooping debris out of the way as it goes.
