Review: Nicer quality than I anticipated. Good detail, - Nicer quality than I anticipated. Good detail, for display use, not a great toy for a kid. Bought this for a customer who bought a real one from me. Metal construction, has nice weight to it. Hydraulics move, boom, stick, bucket, swing boom all move. Come in a nice tin package box thing. I’d like to have one for myself for my office. Hopefully customer will dig it too. Attachments are a nice touch, the Auger and hammer are flimsy. Buckets are metal and good quality. Would buy again.
