Kidz Fun Remote Control Wild Runner Cruiser Version 3 in 1:15 Scale Plastic

This is the third version of the "Remote Control Wild Runner Cruiser" VehiCROSS toys that appeared, about 2 years after the first. Like the previous, it's 1:15 scale with a body length of around 9" (the 4x4 under carriage is much longer and wider). This also appears to be based on the same Asahi mold used in the very first VX toy made available around 1997. I purchased this around 2010. They've been reissued as "Wild Runner Cruiser" at least four total times - I believe this is the third to appear with that name.

This version is powered by batteries and uses a wired-remote control that only allows the VehiCROSS to move forward or backward - there's no facility to make the VX turn as there are not turning components under the front wheels. The headlights also work, an odd detail but I guess inexpensive enough to make available. I believe "Kidz Fun" is a generic brand that repackages toys to be sold as a discount offering. For this iteration the VX was  issued in blue or silver plastic with black painted cladding, I only own this silver example. The retail price was reduced to $10.00.
