The Play Doh Diggin Rigs, while not necessarily designed for boys, help to give a gender balance to the Play Doh Prettiest Princess playsets. Not that one can *only* be played with by boys or girls, but they certainly have a targeted demographic. While the Play Doh Prettiest Princess has gained tremendous popularity the Diggin Rigs seem to be less popular. The Trash Tossin' Rowdy the Garbage Truck may help even the score.
Rowdy the Garbage Truck lifts the garbage into the back of the truck. In the back, as Rowdy rolls down the road it compressed and spits out a variety of garbage shapes (like bugs, fish, and other yucky things).
Notes-
Comes with Rowdy the Garbage Truck and four large cans of Play Doh Yellow, Blue, Purple/Lavender, and Green
Rowdy the Garbage Truck gobbles up Play Doh garbage and spits out trash. As the rear wheels turn it operates a rotating mold inside of Rowdy the Garbage Truck. You can see how it operates in the video portion of the review.
The cab of the garbage truck comes out to make the molds for the trash cans and waste bottles.
As Rowdy the Garbage Truck rolls the garbage is literally tossed out of the bottom. Although a little is needed because some of the garbage can be "tossed" several feet. I don't know about you, but for us flying Play Doh is a recipe for a mess. Just keep that in mind as you play with it on a mat or an area that a little Play Doh will not be a concern.
Comes with a worm extruder you can make plenty of worms for your trash.
A small plastic shovel is included for scooping up the Play Doh trash
Appropriate for children ages 2 and up
Other than the Play Doh being projected out of the back of the garbage truck clean-up is pretty easy
No batteries are needed.
Final Verdict The Play Doh trash Tossin' Rowdy the Garbage Truck is a fun twist on playing with Play Doh. Parents may cringe a bit as they see the Play Doh garbage projected out of the end of the truck, but in our opinion it is still one of the better Play Doh toys. Recommended... especially if you have a child who enjoys garbage trucks.

My 2 1/2 year old loves garbage trucks and play doh so this was a perfect fit! He loves stuffing the play doh in the truck and then watching it leave trash behind as he drives it around. I would highly recommend this toy but beware that it can be messy especially if any play doh gets left behind.
Best Deals for Play-Doh Trash Tossin' Rowdy the Garbage Truck
I bought this as an impulse buy today. Best impulse buy in a long long time. My 3 year old played with it for about 3 hours, stopped for about an hour and went back for about two hours. There are so many things to do with it. Hubby played with it for about a half an hour by himself after the little one went to bed. This toy is awesome.
Honest reviews on Play-Doh Trash Tossin' Rowdy the Garbage Truck
Okay, I first got this toy and loved it. Worked great. Then the day after I gave it to my son for his birthday, it seemed to have broken. The wheels would not turn the rollers inside that shoot out garbage from the bottom of the truck. What I didn't know is that you need to close the top of the garbage truck before the rollers will engage with the wheels. This is probably a safety feature. Anyway, one of the kids had filled the top up with so much Play-Doh that the lid could not close, so the rollers did not engage, leading me to believe that the toy had broken when it had not.
Another thing that I did not realize is that the book mold that makes the trash that goes into the dumpster is part of the truck itself, the cab of the truck. It slides in and out. Nowhere in the demonstration video or in the papers that came with the truck was this information explicitly given. So at first I thought this meant that we didn't have a book mold at all. Upon more careful inspection of the video and the toy, we found that it was included and that it was, handily (although rather secretly), part of the truck, meaning you can store it there and it won't get lost.
Anyway, we haven't had the toy for very long, but our three-year-old likes it and it seems to work, so for now it's great.
