Hess Hauler Truck and Snow Plow

(Hess $49.99)

Wow! This year's Hess truck for the holidays is really, really fun. It comes with a Hauler that lights up and makes lots of sounds (beeps, reverses) -- but the real excitement is when you hit the top button, the back of the hauler opens up and there's a sporty racer on what looks like a snowmobile but is fitted with a snow plow. The best part -- this vehicle is a pull-back -- always a blast to play with all on its own.

Sound warning: As with most Hess trucks there are lots of lights and sounds which for some will be too much. On the plus side, the toy comes loaded with Energizer batteries.
