Operating the Playset

Engage in realistic rescue adventures with the following interactive features:

The playset includes a plastic helicopter with a free-spinning propeller and a car-carrier feature. Retrieve the helicopter from the helipad and use its carrier to transport other vehicles (sold separately) in distress.
