I forgot to mention in my review that the alternating flipping tread design works merely OK on carpet and not at all on a hard surface...so honestly it might NOT work that well on ice!
Honestly, with the bigass wheel on the back, this thing kind of reminds me of some kind of Marauder vehicle off of Red Faction: Guerilla or something. I was pretty hard on it, and I guess comparing it to the Mole Pod was pretty harsh...but to me the combo of "meh" vehicle with crappy, give-up figure is just inexcusable.
