The Retro Mighty Dump Truck has steel parts, making it extra durable for longer and tougher play sessions. It also encourages imaginative play and helps strengthen kids’ gross motor skills, making it a great pick for younger kids. The truck’s driver cab is open on the back, so any smaller action figures can fit and further the pretend play potential. As a collector’s item, the truck boasts plenty of classic details from the original 1972 version and can fit on most shelves and display cases.

No batteries or assembly are required — just take the truck out of its box and play!
