We received a Chuck for review, and I like it a lot.  It’s a little bit loud, and doesn’t have volume control.  It also doesn’t “do” as much as some other similar trucks, but it does have over 40 phrases and sounds.  Brandon likes to say “Hi” and “Bye” when Chuck says it, and likes pushing the button to make Chuck talk.
