DICKIE TOYS Light and Sound SOS Rescue Helicopter with Moving Rotor Blades, 25"

This thing is HUGE and full of features. It was the "big" present for our three year old at Christmas this year and he is sure to play with this thing for years to come. Incidentally, the cockpit doors open and you can fit standard action figures in there. I guess I should clarify that this thing doesn't actually fly, but the blades rotate and it has lights and sounds. And the blades have a break away feature for safety, which we loved because our one year old who is attracted to her brother's toys won't lose any fingers. Trust me - we've thoroughly tested this thing.Update: Three years later and still going strong for the 6.5 year old! This is still an all-time favorite. It's big so we stick it in the top shelf of the closet and bring it down upon request. The cockpit fits standard action figures (~6"); Spider-Man and a few army guys have had adventures in there. Our now-three-year-old little sister loves it as much as big brother.

This thing is built like a tank:). It’s huge, doors open, you can fit GI Joes in the pilot seats, a motorized rope lowers and raises a rescue gurney, lights come on, the rotors spin, (motorized top and back). - it makes sounds, it’s awesome. It’s also fallen down a whole flight of stairs twice now, and you cannot break this thing. They made it with real, normal little boys in mind. For this price, you get a ton of bang for your buck and your kid will love it. Ours hasn’t put his down for one day in over 2 months.

Bought this for my 3 year old (helicopter obsessed) grandson and he loves it! Everything about it is cool and very realistic, I love how the main rotor and tail rotor both turn in unison just like a real copter. The spotlight is bright and can be moved all around. The cockpit doors both open and there is a storage compartment in the back. The only caveat I can mention is the tail rotor, every kid that comes over (regardless of age) wants to stop it from turning and that damages the weak plastic gear that drives it. Now there is a flat spot on the ring gear and the tail rotor now stops all the time and has to be turned to get it going again. Might I suggest using more robust gears there and incorporating a slip-clutch on the driveshaft to the tail rotor? Other than that one issue it is a great toy for a rambunctious little boy!

I liked the large size, realism, build quality, the moving rotor blades and working search light and winch. Great toy for kids and grown up Aviation enthusiasts.

Es muy grande para un niño pequeño, pero es un muy buen juguete

What the description doesn’t tell you is that it doesn’t fly. The children had asked for a helicopter. The write up shows it in the air. I took it for granted it would fly, after all it’s a helicopter. Very deceptive. The blades twirl, it lights up and sits there…..

WORKING TOY MODEL OF THE REAL THING. LOTS OF WORKING STUFF (LIGHTS, SOUND, TOP AND TAIL ROTORS SAFELY SPIN, HOIST, REAR DOORS). GOT THIS FOR MY GRANDSON. REMINDED ME OF A SIMILAR TOY THAT I RECV'D 60 YRS AGO, BUT FAR MORE DURABLE. FOR AGES 3 TO 10. MY GRANDSON IS 3. OVER 3 DAYS, HE PLAYED WITH ALL OF HIS TOYS, BUT HE KEPT COMING BACK TO THIS ONE THE MOST.

This helicopter is so realistic. The blades on the top and in the tail rotate with the flip of a switch. It has a hook on the side that raises and lowers with an included basket for pretend rescue missions. Also, there are lights and sounds that are appropriate for the toy. It is a rather large helicopter at 24 inches from nose to tail so definitely would not recommend this for small children as our 3 year old son really can't carry it around easily.
