(More customer reviews)When this Mater arrived, I was afraid it was just a collectible that would only be able to sit on its base(which has cool blue LEDs that light up under Mater). I chanced an operation with the screwdriver, took out the 4 screws that hold the base together, and the 2 that hold Mater to the base. Mater then comes off and can be played with as a regular car and placed on the base to hit the button that lights things up. The posts on the base fit into indents under Mater to properly locate him. The paperwork mentions sounds, but mine didn't seen to be equipped when I looked at the wiring inside the base. I ordered this as a Christmas present for my son and not removing it would not work for him. It is a very cool car that would be a great collectable, but more valuable to me as a way to make my son's day. This Mater has cool packaging that lets you display it and activate the LEDs through a small hole, and even change batteries without removing it from the original packaging, but if you are interested in this as a toy, have a philips head screwdriver handy.
