My son received this toy as a gift and loved it. After 24 hours of playing with it the snake no longer latches into position. It either falls forward or backward. Not worth purchasing again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids have enjoyed playing with this, just wish the launcher was a bit different sometimes it goes all the way around and sometimes is does not. It also depends on the age of the kid the older they are the harder they can slap the launcher. Other then that is a pretty fun toy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It works best with regular 1:64 scale sports cars or sedans. Bulky or too heavy cars, such as vans, trucks or buses won’t work as well. Part of the fun is figuring which vehicles work the best. Then you know you have a real winner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hours of play. My 3 boys loved to watch the car flip. The slime was fun and easy to clean up. The set came with a 'cool' car and they loved adding more tracks to the set. It was fun to outsmart the Cobra.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great hot wheels track! The snake striking action is a lot of fun. The added slime feature is a huge hit with my 5 year old. And luckily the slime doesn’t cause a mess! This holds his interest for a while.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item to review. Setup was easy and the kids loved the way the snake springs forward at the car. It held their interest and it was a fun afternoon!The slime was a bit messy though so make sure kids play with this on hard flooring.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Hot Wheels City Toxic Snake Strike Playset as a free sample. Set up was easy enough and removal from the package was not difficult. The car doesn’t make it all the way to the head of the snake most times. It either hits something and the car spins away or the snake triggers early. Sometimes the launcher misfires and it doesn’t go anywhere. My son decided to use it to hold up his tablet and hasn’t used it much as a track since we got it. Also the slime doesn’t stay in the mouth like its supposed to. We used it on a flat surface so we know the issues were not due to being on carpet. Also the snake is difficult to reset sometimes and my son got frustrated when it wasn’t resetting for him.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best things I love about Mattel Hot Wheels is how well made they are and that they fit with any set that you own. This one came with slime that could come out of the snakes mouth or the bridge. I loved that the slime was not sticky and easy to pick up and put back into the snake or bridge. I also loved that the slime jar fit into the top of the snake so it wouldn't get lost easy. The colors were bright and my grandson loved playing with it and hooking it up to the other Hot Wheels that we already had. A great set and he loved it which is what matters to me. Easy to disassemble and store.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great twist to the other Hot Wheels playsets. My boys had so much fun playing with it. It’s ready to go right out of the box, no batteries needed and nothing to really setup. The slime is the perfect consistency and texture to pass through the snakes mouth. Once the slime starts to get handled more it moves through the snakes mouth a lot faster, I just put it away for a little while so that it would get cool again and we could get more cars through the snakes mouth. You can also flip the head of the snake back to get the slime back in so you don’t have to keep touching it too. There are a few small pieces of slime that separated from the larger piece so I would just stick them back with it, so watch out for that, not a big deal. The City Toxic set also has other pieces that can be bought to connect them all to make the whole city which I’m hoping I can start purchasing to do that. Overall, a hit at our house and a nice playset to add to our other Hot Wheels track sets.
