Review: Robust, life like, and lots of play value - My little boy is working his way through the Bruder range and this is his latest addition. All Bruder toys are robust, look fantastic, are like like and each has enough gadget/movements on it to keep my son's interest for a very long time. He plays with them all, very regularly. This one is one of the smaller ones so perfect for taking out and about with us. We have the Bruder man, too, and he sits nicely in this mini digger. Slip him in through the front or back window and he stays there a treat.
Review: Bruder great toys - These are good quality toys and very durable. My son has most of the bruder range of toys and plays for hours with them in his sand pit. They have realistic moving parts
