Cliff Hanger is a particularly nice addition to the collection. First of all, Cliff is uniquely able to "rescue" because he can fly in and grab someone or something with his big clamp and pull them out. In every story that my son makes up, Cliff become integral to the solution to the problem. Cliff's glider pack is also very cool. The wings collapse and then pop open at the push of a button. Last, because Cliff uses a glider, I am able to introduce some physics to my son. Of course, I don't call it that, but we talk about how an airplane can fly versus a glider which "falls with style." (A reference my son has particular appreciation for.)

Review: Rescue Heroes are the best toys on the market. Three of my boys (8 year old & 7 year old twins, I also provide child care) have been playing with them for 3 years and they are still in great shape, none of them have broken yet. Our Tonka toys were distroyed in 1 year but our Rescue Heroes are still going strong. We have a huge collection including the Command Center, truck, motorcycle, boat, cliff hanger and several "Heroes". We are now having trouble keeping our 8 month old daughter from playing with them. I would recomend them for boys and girls. Hats off to Fisher-Price for such a wounderful toy!!

Review: I've got 3 kids ages 6 1/2, 4 1/2, and 18mos. All 3 of them love Rescue Heroes. We have just about everyone available, except the Voice Tech ones. We started our collection before the Voice Tech ones came out.My then 3 yr old decided he didn't want one of those because"... We like making them talk on our own!" I can't tell you how many missions have be launched in our play room. I've recommended this to so many people who's kids have loved them. The only arguemnt I get is "They need more girl Heroes" (They currently only have 2:Wendy Waters and Ariel Flyer) You can't go wrong with Rescue Heroes!
======================================
Summary: Good edition to your collection

Review: My son received this for his 4th birthday. He loves this hero but finds the backpack more difficult to put on than most. Also we are more cautious with this hero when 2 yr. old sister is around. The wings just can't stand the abuse.
