This was likely released in 2000. The helicopter has a thin layer of what appears to be red paint on the front, but otherwise, both the truck and helicopter appear to be in near-new condition. The packaging is damaged. The helicopter had a piece of plastic to prevent battery contact. After removing it and turning on the switch, the blades moved in both auto and manual modes (on/off with the red switch). The truck has not been tested with batteries. If it functions correctly, the lights should turn on. Thank you for your consideration. Model Car Figure
