Description
This essentially was a battery-powered monster truck that had retractable claws in the wheels. The claws would come out on demand if a wheel could no longer turn. They also could be configured to either be locked in or out. The trucks had wild safari-like paint schemes and came in a couple of different body types. It measured approximately 12 inches long by 10 inches high.

omg!!!!!I have spent the last three years talking about this show and no one knows what the hell I am talking about. It is so good to know someone else knew and loved this show!
Remember it as well, his hands would start to bubble up when he changed...Pretty short lived I think though.
I remember! I remember!
Finally, there are other people who remember this programme, whenever I mention it people think i'm mad.....
The actual name of the truck was The Animal. Manimal was the TV show. I really loved that show. I can remember he would turn into a panther alot. whiskers would grow out of his face. it was cool.
If anyone goes to Hulu dot com or fancast dot com, you can see Simon McCorkindale as Manimal...my brother had the truck Animal....it was awesome :D
I had one of these, but it required batteries whish was usually a deal breaker in my house. My Dad always bought me stuff that took batteries and then complain that it took batteries. I didn't play with it much, my parents always bought me stuff like this, but all i wanted was Transformers and G.I.joes.
I have one !!! In the Brazil they are licenced and produced by Glasslite with the name ANIMAL. They are the same scale from GiJoe.
