Monster Truck Toy Caught in Fisherman's Net

Could Travel The World !!!

Captain Willie Hines Points To Where He First Saw El Toro Caught In His Fishing Net.

(Huntington Beach Ca.) -

In a strange series of events, a lost toy could end up being a world traveler. Apparently swept into the ocean by huge wave, a toy monster truck named El Toro could end up traveling to places most people would love to see, and toy monster trucks have never seen ! According to Captain Willie Hines, captain of the Bermudan fishing vessle "The Flying Angler", he was pulling his nets up off the coast of Huntington Beach California when he noticed something strange caught in his net.  As the crew emptied the net on the boats' deck, they found a classic Monster Jam truck wrapped in seaweed.

"It's a little beat up and dirty, but we're going to get it looking like new."



Normally, "The Flying Angler" is found fishing the seas in the Carribean Ocean, but this week, Captain Willie had sailed all the way to the California Coast with his family to take them to Knotts Berry Farm. "We love the Perilous Plunge !!!" he exclaimed!! Next week, "The Flying Angler" will begin it's journey around the world to return to the Carribean, stopping along the way at many exotic and beautiful locations.

For now, El Toro will travel onboard "The Flying Angler" as the crew works to restore the truck. Additionally, Captain Hines and his crew are in communication with Mattel/Hot Wheels to trace the serial number on the truck in order to return in to it's original owner.

"All we know so far is that the owner was a little boy in California, probably somewhere in Central California like Sacramento or maybe one of the smaller nearby cities. but we're gonna find him!!" says Captain Willie with a smile. "But in the meantime, El Toro is gonna be the ship's mascot and sail the world with us!!"

Captain Willie promised to give us updates, so keep checking this website to read about the latest news in the journey of El Toro !!!

And finally back home at port in the Bahamas !!!!!

Perhaps most exciting, the search to find the original owner of the truck has ended as well.
After an exhaustive search through shipping manifests and order records, Mattel believes that the truck was originally owned by a little boy in Turlock, California named Jordan Day. "That is going to be one proud little boy when he gets his truck back" said Captain Hines. "The people at Mattel are going to do something really cool and ship the truck back to him for us."

And so El Toro will once again travel the world, but this time, back to his true home and his true owner.
" Hey Jordan, take care of that truck for us and thanks for letting us borrow him." Captain Hines said with a smile.

THE END...
