You had to work at making it fail. It was easily untangled, easily cleaned, easily re-assembled, and best of all, the harness fit just about every 3.5" action figure out there from Luke and Leia to Destro and Baroness.

The best compiment ever paid that designer came from a buddy of mine who sneered at the bright, cheerful Fisher Price colours and, after seeing it in action, was begging me to "trade" offering my pick of his Joe vehicles to get his clutches on it. No trade. I had toy-gold and I knew it.

He was adamant, even to the point where his parents ended up talking to my parents (yes, he stooped to going THAT route)and my folks, to their everlasting credit, weren't having any of that. I pity the searching his parents had to do until they found a store that still had one. By then, Fisher Price's Adventure line had all but succumbed to the combined forces of Kenner and Hasbro.

No matter. It's an incredible toy… definitely worth buying a used one just for introducing to another, younger generation.
