Sorry, no metal quality as the other Planes and Cars Characters from Mattel, but already relatively high price. My son does not disturb it but, nevertheless the gefällts. But why the red stripes and other stickers are glued and not painted, is beyond my knowledge. It was probably cheaper to manufacture pennies, but unfortunately certainly not as durable far. The size is great, however, so that a lot of "smoke jumpers" in fit (more than two). Toll is the elevator, which is often used as a carrying handle. -D
