Those of us who spend a lot of time looking at, evaluating, and playing with toys often complain that they all start to look alike after a while. After all, a racetrack is a racetrack and a doll is a doll right? But once in a while, a toy comes along that really makes us sit up and take notice. In that vein, the Hot Wheels Slimecano is easily the weirdest toy we've seen in a long time. The idea is to power up your Hot Wheels car (none included) using a special charger at the base of a big brown mountain with a creepy snake face carved into it. Then while the mountain starts spewing slime, you race to the top, avoiding falling boulders and trying to successfully jump over a pit of goo. The mountain shakes periodically and plays five different sound effects. The Slimecano promises a lot of action and happily it's well-designed so everything works pretty well. Although we're not sure how much sustained play value the Slimecano will have over the course of months and years, it at least brings a unique and bizarre element to the racetrack category. --Charlie Williams

Summary: A Waste of Money
Comment: This is the worst Hot Wheels toy on the market right now. I am stunned that this product was allowed to enter the market with all of its flaws. It's flimsy, hard to put together, and lasts for about a day before it falls apart. Shame on this manufacturer!

Summary: lm
Comment: My son picked this out for his 6th birthday. It did take me about 45 minutes to assemble and it's not really sturdy, but he has enjoyed it. He loves the slime mostly. The pieces do come apart alot but otherwise it works well. Don't know that it is quite worth the price, but fun--just remember to have them play on a washable surface. We set it up on the kitchen floor.

Summary: Terrible Quality
Comment: The quality of this toy is so bad that my 4-year-old son recognized that the toy wasn't made well. It takes an incredible amout of time to assemble and falls apart easily. I took it back to the store because my son was so frustrated I couldn't take the temper tantrums. Hot Wheels needs to review the quality of this toy before it damages the reputation of their entire line of toys.
