Steel(?) made with plastic lol, made in China. Tonka sold out years ago imo and is no where near the quality it used to be when many of us were kids.

What has that got to do with the fact that it is cheap quality, made with plastic parts, made in China junk imo? That you don't want to keep it for 30 years is not really relevant. Does not change the lack of quality imo. You get what you pay for generally. They are trying to pass this off as similar to the products of many years past by referring to it as "Steel Classics", which it clearly is not.

In our experience, they'll still be rusting away for more years than the kid actually played with them. Sorry, but I'm not going to take a $14 toy and store it for 30 years for the grandkids.

It has everything to do with the fact that it is $14 instead of $140. You get what you pay for generally. Kids destroy toys. Steel rusts once the paint is chipped. It's the adults who want to obsess over their quality and put them on a shelf to never play with. And yeah, marketing is marketing.

We had the real steel ones back in the 80's and they lasted at least until giving them to cousins in the 2000's. I lost track of them from there. These ones do have some steel, but they're mostly plastic and the steel is much thinner than the original. I didn't end up buying any of these since I have a personal comparison to the original and how solid they were.
Definitely not something for passing down through generations, but still fun toys to play with out in the dirt or sand.

Exactly. The Tonka toys we had as kids you could beat the bejesus out of them. Ride them, push piles of sand and rocks, you name it. Take a look at the illustrations at Amazon. The entire track assembly and cab are all crummy plastic. The are toss out toys now, such a shame.

TIL that people who are old enough to have played with these waited until April 2025 to learn about what private equity M&As actually do in the real world and are more worried about the lifespan of a toy than rental price fixing or the baby formula supply chain.

On these new versions the only steel parts are generally the yellow part of the main chassis. Not even the blade on this bulldozer is steel -- arguably the part that would benefit the most from being steel -- and is just black plastic.
