Editors’ Rankings
TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
The Tonka XT Ricochet Stunt Pro R/C is a remote-control vehicle that lets you save and play back different stunts. With the remote control, you can control the speed of the car with the forward/reverse stick and steer with the left/right stick. The remote control also has four memory slots, which means you can record and save up to four different stunts at one time. Slide the knob to the slot in which you want to save your trick. Then press and release the record button to start recording. Once you're done recording, press and release the stop button. Press and hold the Replay Trigger to replay the driving and stunts that you just recorded. The Ricochet Stunt Pro R/C comes with information on how to perform four different stunts, including the Buzzsaw Spin, which gets the car to do three spirals; the Rampage Flip, which flips the car (But don't worry: since the car is double-sided, it keeps driving.); the Ric-Twist, which makes the car flip over sideways; and the 8-Ball Drift, which makes the car drive in a figure eight. Kids can also create their own stunts.
Why It’s Fun
The ability to perform different stunts, including flipping over and continuing to drive, makes the Tonka XT Ricochet Stunt Pro R/C fun and exciting. But kids will really like the added technology of recording and replaying the different moves and stunts they make the Stunt Pro R/C perform.
Who It’s For
The Tonka XT Ricochet Stunt Pro R/C is for ages 8 and up.
What to Be Aware of
This is an updated, more technologically advanced version of the original Ricochet, which was a huge hit for its high performance and versatile play.
The Tonka XT Ricochet Stunt Pro R/C comes with three AA batteries and one 9.6-volt NiMH rechargeable battery. It takes about four hours for the NiMH battery to fully charge. A charger and wall adapter are included. The vehicle operates for about 15 minutes on a full charge.
The car works best on a hard, flat surface. You need an open area to make the car do some of the included stunts.
