I had one of these too (in AU). Is this the one that could be set to free wheel and run without the motor? I remember pushing it down the hill in my backyard – with the claws in. It went like stink.
Oh man. I thought I’d never find this commercial. Last time I saw it was in `85. Always thought it was called “The Claw”. My parents couldn’t find it in stores. Such a cool idea. This could apply to serious off roading – a la James Bond in the future.
the 80’s fuckin ruled. I also had the yellow vette. The only problem with the animal, if you took your eye off it for a second outside, it would just keep going and you would never see it again unless it ran into a tree or a wall. lol
i did have a truck that was called the claw. the tires would open for more grip. but i did have the black animal and the claw. when i was little. i kick myself these days for leaving them behind.
@Obamaownswhitesnow Hi, I just saw one on ebay right now thats how I found this commercial. The item number is 320516066493
I had this, but I remember a different commercial.
I used to love this commercial
Where can I find one?
I had one of these when I was a kid! I had the yellow one. It’s a Firebird Trans Am! I think it’s still in my old room at my Mom’s house!!

I had the Yellow one, my sister got it for me.
! I had one of these but completely forgot about it. I can definitely see why I wanted it after watching the commercial!
Yea niggas I got my truck!! I just got it on Christmas too. OLD SCHOOL!
I had a truck similar to this but instead of claws coming out of the tires, the tires split and became claws themselves.
i had all 3 back in the day i wish i still had them!!
Will you sell it? I need one
Yes I WANT to buy it. How much for it? Hit me up on my message box
I had the red blazer, but wanted the Trans Am so bad, because of KITT was an ‘ 82 Trans Am.
wow! talk about childhood memories. i used to have the black one. i had so much fun with it that the batteries would die in a few hours or got hot.

Man, i loved this toy.
My favorite is the black pickup, but my neighbor got that one before me so I got the red one wich I think is the next best thing.
