Editorial Review

Sized for a large toddler/farmer, the John Deere HST 4300 is abig ride-on tractor that can really plow up the play area. At 38 incheslong (think "a very large dog") and 14.5 inches high (at the seat), ithas an all-plastic body and a very solid, durable feel. Thanks to ametal pedal axle, metal steering components, and chunky wheels, thistractor is easy to point in the right direction. It also has a big hookon the back for towing, although nothing towable comes with it. Thedecals and other details are a bit minimal, but this is a solid toy thatwill provide a lot of fun. Adult assembly is required. --RichardFarr ... Read more

Well worth the price!
We bought this for our 3yo son as a bribe (ahem) to give up his baby bottle habit. He was able to choose any toy in the store and this is what he chose (good taste). It is well worth the money we paid for it (full price). He loves it, his 1-1/2 yo sister loves it. They will get years' more use out of this tractor. It is very durable; it helps them with their coordination and judging distances and teaches cause and effect (and SHARING). I would recommend you have a little extra garage space if you are going to store it inside as it is larger than your normal trike or Big Wheel type of thing. This is a great price for this item. Grab it up! You won't regret it. Oh yeah. Get a pile of rocks too so they have something to scoop!!

Love this tractor!!
I bought it for my little cousin. He loves to come to the farm and ride on the tractors, so I thought he needed his own toy tractor to ride. He totally loves it! It is very durable and will last him for years to come, a great gift for any farm kid or any one that loves tractors! This tractor was easy to put together, the detail makes it look just like a John Deere on the farm. Great toy! ... Read more

Big, simple, and strong--especially strong--are the three words that definethis tricycle. Its all-metal construction makes it several times the weight of manycompetitors, but how many of them have a warranty that reads "Ten years or 10,000miles"? This brute has monster-sized inflatable tires (10 inches in diameter by 3.5 inches wideat the back, and 15 inches by almost 4 inches at the front). The frame looks strong enoughto ride through a brick wall, and the seat--also metal, and not exactly built for comfort--adjustsinfinitely along the sloped main frame. A simple hole-and-pin hitch at the back is perfectfor towing. Adult assembly is required. --Richard Farr ... Read more

In the popular video game Jet Set Radio Future, rebels strap on inline skates and perform dangerous dance moves to foment rebellion against an oppressive regime. It's like 1984 meets Footloose. In this action figure incarnation, Beat looks ready to get in the middle of the excitement. He wears spacey headphones, big blue shades, a yellow sleeveless t-shirt, big skates, and grey arm and leg covers. His oversized hands and smirky expression add to the cartoon fun. A sidewalk set is included that matches the look of the game but it's really not necessary since Beat can do his thing anywhere. He is well articulated and makes an interesting addition to any playroom cast of action figures. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Heavy Metal Monster
Anyone familiar with the Mechwarrior game by Wizkids, will instantly recognize this model. This is the Legionnaire piloted by Jaqueline Tadaka - for the Swordsworn faction. It accuratly depicts the mech in scale. It even comes with a pilot figure in scale to the mech. Though getting the pilot into the cockpit correctly can be a bit of a hassle. Overall this is a good figure, though if not careful it is possible to break off many of the detail pieces. This is more a piece for display, then for play. It's easy to picture this mech on the battlefield fighting for it's faction, and would look good in a diorama. ... Read more

Don't buy this toy!
We bought our son the big ride-on John Deere gator for his 3rd birthday and thought this "little gator" would be cute for him to play with when he couldn't be with the big one. He loved it when he got it, but within 15 minutes, a piece had broken off. Two hours later, a wheel broke off and another piece of plastic was coming off. It was very disapointing for my son, especially since he was only driving it on the carpet and not playing roughly with it. I'm sending it back for a refund and will choose another toy. (The big gator is running strong, however! Save your money and buy the ride on!) ... Read more
