[anthonykelley1985]

I got one for Christmas as a child. I remember this as the best Christmas ever cuz it was a white 1 and all i wanted was "THE ANIMAL" and i thought it was called the claw but I got the black one and i thought it was radio controlled so I tore the box apart and told my mom it was missing the controller then found out it didnt have 1 I still played with it til i out grew it!!!! 

[thespiderwebbs1]

found the yellow for five bucks. is that good?

[UlaughYouLose]

nostalgia'd

[cwfbaumgarten]

Does anybody know where to get one of these? I had one as a kid, unfortunatly it broke. These were awesome!

[biggamepaul]

A toy monster truck that has animal claws? Pure genius!

[SaviourV]

Well, maybe some people are making a comeback:

watch?v=a9N6Zb_K2Z0

The guys at the National Taiwan University, apparently.

[kingwill210]

Where can I find one asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Command37]

i got one of these for my birthday buy I WANTED THE CLAW.

[Blackboilingrobotoil]

I heard the Animal cannot be stopped.

[Antichrist2000]

I was hopin this was the REAL MONSTER truck commercial

[euvi85]

I have the blue one in my attic.

[LibertineSixSixSix]

The theme to 'The Animal' popped into my head out of nowhere last week, decades later. I remember the animal really could be stopped easily, but the jingle lives on! It may one day be someones Rosebud.

[downscreen129103]

I still have the yellow one. Not sure if it works anymore.

[stanzaverse]

The following things stop the animal: rocks, small piles of sticks, jelly, fire, beautiful women, the police, bad odors, stop signs, large walls, and dead batteries.

[MrBarnDog]

did ders bring you here

[AutophobicNightmare]

@MrBarnDog lol yeah

[chonyc77]

They dont make toys like this anymore. I feel sorry for todays kids.

[YoWhatUpMike]

Wow, I remembered that! I had one too. I also had The Claw.

[fuckingsob]

I had them all, but the black one was the coolest.

[hightide85]

I'm 32 now.... this thing was great. I think it burned in a fire my Mom had last year. haha

[Stormgrip]

I had one of these, too. I would seat a bunch of G.I. Joes on top of it, and they would ride this unstoppable sucker into battle. The good ol' days, huh? :-/

[shortywarn]

oh my god,,,,, wow,,, i so remember this and singing thatg song

and drawing p[ics of these and selling them to classmates,,, i suck at art too

childhood was so awesome

[V1LL4IN]

I sing this song when I get ready to number 2 XD

[BT1DEATH]

i had one of those wind up in my t-shirt when i was a kid i could not shut it off cause of the strain on the motor (because the way that switch worked) it all most ate me alive! still an awesome toy

[radix9523]

The only thing that stopped The Animal...was time. RIP My Animal (somewhere in a land fill ) :(

[MrGimli2]

lol

[MrGimli2]

lol

[hemangalvez12]

I just won the bid on eBay,,, I got the Black one with the original box and instructions. I wasn't gonna let it pass me by. I had one when I was a kid for christmas of 84 and when I saw it , I just had to have it..... Now I just have to wait for the delivery guy to bring me my favorite childhood toy to me.

[fleamarketjunkie]

I remember this! I wanted 1 so bad.. & also the 1 someone mentioned with tires that split.

[lordtyamat]

I had the yellow one!! Todays toys doesn't have those inventions..thought

[edwinlopezjr]

I had one. It was fun....then i gave it away to another kid. Classic.

[XXNeMo818XX]

I had one similar to this one but instead of claws the wheels split in two and had teeth i think.

[ajax420336]

Imagine if the Killdozer had had wheels like The Animal. There would have been no stopping that guy.

[DayTripperID]

I used to sing this song when i was like 5 after seeing this on tv. The animal! The animal!

[legsbluetrain]

If 4x4s actually did that,they would not get stuck as often

[SkitzerPoindexter]

My younger brother had one of these (the yellow one) It was rendered "stoppable" when the battery door broke.

I just donated it to a thrift store last year.

[bat115]

@SkitzerPoindexter LOL, I had the yellow one as well and the same thing happened to me. You should have sold it on eBay! You would have made a nice chunk even with it broken.

[thundernegro]

@SkitzerPoindexter - i would've given you a grand for it.

[Meguas2]

I had one of these.. I made the mistake of letting it climb up me when I was a kid... scratched the shit out of me, lol.

[RunnerLasting12]

@Meguas2 wow thats smart.

[TheNostalgiaJunkie]

A good toy, but looking back at it now, I can see why my pops didn't get me this shit lol. Would have been tossed to the side like all the others in a couple of months.

[joel3987]

I had 1 of these as a kid fukin awesome, this video brings back childhood!!!!

[badgerattoadhall]

i wanted one of these so badly as a child.

[AnduinX]

Nostalgia!

[ryguy275]

I'd hate to be on the business end of those animal claws.

[stoenyce]

i sing my son this song

[WorldChallenge]

I had this, but I remember a different commercial.

[Jackfins77]

I used to love this commercial

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

Where can I find one?

[piffSD]

@Obamaownswhitesnow Hi, I just saw one on ebay right now thats how I found this commercial. The item number is 320516066493

[ihavesexforhappymeal]

@Obamaownswhitesnow

What a stupid ass fucking user name

[Obamaownswhitesnow]

@ihavesexforhappymeal I can careless about your opinions. Your nick SUCKS as well. Fuck YOU! I bet u r white, lol!

[myTUBULARTACOS]

@Obamaownswhitesnow

Obama owns white snow... that's clever.

[nickstaralina]

@myTUBULARTACOS yeah,and racsit.

[ihavesexforhappymeal]

@ihavesexforhappymeal

How about fuck you hippie? LOLZ I BET U R BLACK

Suck my shit darkie!

Look, that's me being you. Now here is me being me:

I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU.

[fred1671]

@ihavesexforhappymeal Just make sure you post the damn video. We want to see some carnage, too!

[RunnerLasting12]

@ihavesexforhappymeal i wouldn't be talking as your username is pretty "stupid ass" too.

[XmodHotRod]

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!!

[keroxene]

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.

[littlechuga40oz]

Yup actually everything could stop the animal.

[dbonezny]

OOOOOOOOOMGGGGGG i fk'n WANT ONE!!!!

[1984AP]

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.

[Velociraptoro]

yea so i found "THE CLAW" in my basement today, started it up... it's loud as fuck dude, like louder than a vacuum cleaner. still pretty sweet tho.

[EastCoastDude99]

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

[Bonsignore4U]

I had the Yellow one, my sister got it for me.

[OhThereYouIs]

! I had one of these but completely forgot about it. I can definitely see why I wanted it after watching the commercial!

[AlexStrider]

I had a truck similar to this but instead of claws coming out of the tires, the tires split and became claws themselves.

[MonsterRailroad]

Yea niggas I got my truck!! I just got it on Christmas too. OLD SCHOOL!

[bulldog32220]

i had all 3 back in the day i wish i still had them!!

[001GenLee]

I had the red blazer, but wanted the Trans Am so bad, because of KITT was an ' 82 Trans Am.

[bradmann85]

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.

[Mrpantymelt]

omg the memories lol

[60x4gb]

I have one, anyone want to buy it? will ship and take paypal.or local pick up in middletown.

[MonsterRailroad]

Yes I WANT to buy it. How much for it? Hit me up on my message box

[adamtylermiller]

Man, i loved this toy.

[ac120479]

I had the black one when I was little. I loved scaring dogs with it.

[sekon2008]

class i have the black one just found in in attic forgot all about it wow im like a child again here

[MonsterRailroad]

Will you sell it? I need one

[Caleefornia]

i wanted one so badly!

[MiddleEasternBorder]

Real cars should have this, only if they know how to develop one.

[Hateblade]

I had the red one! but I could swear that this thing was called The Claw. Oh, well. My childhood was a way back, then again.

[zimdogg4]

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.

[bradmann85]

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.

[daflookie]

feel kinda dumb, but does anyone remember how this works? i just found mine and popped some new batteries in. the lights come on when i flip the red switch in the front, but no power to the wheels.

am i missing something or is it broke?

[teskio]

I had the red one...I loved that piece of junk

[gotdemglocks8]

I found two of them in the same day a few weeks ago I was walking down my street and it was sitting right next to the trash and the other one like 2 hour later a guy was throwing it out after a tag sale.. what a find.. Radical toys man lol

[soakgame]

gawdamn this brings back memories.. lmao.. they played this commercial all the time back in the days

[greggjenks]

I actually just found "the Claw". Do you guys know if the commercial is anywhere?

[NAMNAEROLED]

i had the yellow trans-am. the problem i had was the claws never came out as easily as shown in the commercial. i wish i kept in, i tossed it out about 5 years ago cause i lost the battery cover, so i couldnt test it to see if it still worked. but....GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES!

[marxb]

i had the yellow 1 as well. the wheels had kind of a dial thing goin on with 3 settings 1 puts claws out full time 1 puts em in full time and 3 lets the claw only come out when the wheel hits problems. how the hell was we supposed to work that out i was like 6 or something when i had mine and i was never gonna read the instructions. only found out how to do it the other day when i got it from my parents loft for my kids to play with. my kids think its rubbish because it dont steer or reverse.

[jbs2763]

i had the red one....clawed the crap outta me...lol

[kkenyan]

my dog stopped the mine

[weaponxstrife]

My cock stopped your mom from speaking out of line constantly. The best thing about it is that I got to see her huge tities flopping around

[savior727]

CHUCK NORRIS CAN STOP THE ANIMAL

hahahahha

[kainenterprise]

nothingggggg!!!!!!!!! lol

[footballgeorgiebest]

I got the Black one for Christmas and I loved it. Monster Trucks were massive, excuse the pun, in the 80's. The only problem was the wing mirrors that broke off very easily.

[radix9523]

Haha I had the black one too and I wish I would've kept it. Those were good times.

[Irekyu]

I had the yellow one

[dervit]

Had one of those. hehe

[TriphopJunkie]

wow i feel old...nothing can stop it NOTHING!!!!! lol

[cflete1]

The parrot was like, "what the "

[01digger01]

new from galoob. haha

[Nightwing22]

I named my Blazer after this toy.Every time I go four wheelin or drive over a big snow mound this songs plays in my head, ok I admit it I tend to sing it when alone in the car.

[Alan1701b]

I was given the black one for Christmas many, many years ago and it brought me hours of fun and joy! Great times with a great toy! They don't make toys like this any more!

I do actually still have it in my loft somewhere still in full functioning order last time I checked but I would NEVER dream of getting rid of it!

[RyanEss08]

Also, I remember removing twisting wires onto the battery terminals, and making it turn on and off remotely with like a 10 ft. speaker wire. I really wanted a remote control truck, SO I made it one :) ahhaha

[RyanEss08]

I would have to imagine that anyone searching, and reliving this commercial is probbably also missing the simplicity of life, when the only thing that mattered was THE ANIMAL!!!!!!! Where the hell are our flying cars already? THe future is now, and it sucks.

[chidestermx]

I tried buying on on eBay a while back but I lost the bid.

[jeffnolove]

I had the red one, but I lived in shithole Winnipeg and someone stole it from me. Oh well at least I don't live in Winnipeg anymore.

[ranger330v]

The animal, the animal, can anything STOP, The animal!!!

[horta85]

Your mother can stop the ANIMAL!

[dingoDAD]

My cousin got one...

...I never got one...

[tigershadow3]

Man I wanted one of these so bad! Never got one, but damn! The 80's had the best toys ever!

[superhornet81]

amen to that.

[jnoble12]

I had one of those...I think it was the dark colored one. I don't think I played with it that much

[luisnitro91]

I had the red one ha ha memories.

[Ericbranson3]

i had the yellow one

[Gotyounowpunk]

I used to have one too... Man, I miss the good old days.

[gerbs1]

[DolzaB]

My dad's truck stopped the Animal :(

:(((((

[thomasw78]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[tiganeman]

THE ANIMAL!!!

[medfordp]

i found my red one, i love it man ...really brings back memories

[youtubasoarus]

I had the red one. They were fun. But yeah, they only went in a straight line.

[poptart66733]

gay

[visceralgristle]

This thing would have been better if it were remote controlled... my friend had one back in the day and I seem to recall it being one of those toy trucks that just went in a straight line. Still cool though.. nice bit of 80s nostalgia.

[minutte23]

My brother had one of these!

[distorto31169]

i miss my childhood.

[knowlife]

i wanted that shit so bad lol

[drewchaos]

holy crap i used to have the black one!

[dedrace]

wow I had the red suv and my brother had the camaro in the early 80's. I still have the box it came in minus the animal. I also remember them being re released without the claws.maybe those are the ones from the 90's

[tracy7718]

i remember this i had the suv one and my bro had the camaro,we were also fans of jayce and the wheeled warrior,God i loved the 80's best decade ever

[josenar145]
