The Crocodile Hunter(TM) Radio Control Truck

Youngsters can venture into the Outback with famous Aussie reptile wrangler Steve Irwin in RadioShack's exclusive radio control replica of his rugged adventure truck.

Its spring suspension handles bumpy terrain, and a "bull bar" on the front protects the truck from "jumping kangaroos" and other obstacles. An included 6-inch-tall Steve Irwin action figure fits in the driver's seat. Also included is a detachable raft that floats, three toy snakes and a toy crocodile. The Crocodile Hunter truck is suggested for children ages 6 and older and retails for $59.99.
