Think owning a multifunction home robot is the stuff of science fiction? The WowWee Robosapien Remote Control Robot is a full function fast moving robot minion suitable for all your world domination needs. This easy-to-use humanoid is ready for eons of fun right out of the box; there's no complicated setup or need for a computer. Robosapien's 60-plus commands are easily controlled by an ergonomic remote, not some impossible-to-understand logarithms or formulas.

Robosapien is a sophisticated fusion of technology and personality. Loaded with attitude and intelligence, Robosapien is the first robot based on the science of applied biomorphic robotics. With a full range of dynamic motion, interactive sensors and a unique personality, Robosapien is more than a mechanical companion -- he's a multi-functional, thinking, feeling robot with attitude!

Sit back and watch as this 14" personal robot goes through movements and activities you never thought possible in a home robot, from its hilarious kung-fu motions and "caveman" voicing, to shaking hands and picking up objects around the house. Plus, the Robosapien doesn't get around rolling on hidden wheels to approximate walking. It actually walks, and runs for that matter!

Summary: Toy is fun while it lasts
Comment: I bought this toy for my 6 year old son as a Christmas gift. It was great fun while it worked. My son could easily program it and he was delighted with the different actions and noises that it made. However, after only 5 days of normal use, the toy would no longer work properly. It's leg would not return to its "start" position and so would not balance properly. Because it was unable to balance, it could no longer walk, turn, etc. without falling over. I contacted WowWee customer service for a replacement, as per their 90 day warranty; a month later, I am still trying to get them to honor the warranty. This is not a pleasant company to deal with. I would not recommend dealing with this company. In my experience, the cost of this toy is too high considering that it may no longer work in only a few days of play.

Summary: Received in broken and seemingly used condition
Comment: I bought my Robosapien directly from Wowwee. When it came, it did not appear new, it was a little dirty with marks all over it. And it did not work. It would not walk at all or do anything really but move its arms and burp and fart. What a bummer.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very cool... at first
Comment: This is a very cool toy that is really fun to bring out at parties. You can make it dance, do tricks and even burp! It actually says excuse me too! It is a fantastic product, however, it does not keep the kids interested for more than a few months and soon becomes another dust covered paperweight.

Summary: "Daddy, can I PLEASE play with it now??"
Comment: We have a son who just turned 10 and was adopted internationally a year and a half ago. Purchasing toys for him has been a real challenge due to his developmental issues...sometimes he is like a 15 year old and more often he is like a 4 year old who has to touch EVERYTHING and experience it. He had yet to settle on any real likes or dislikes, as everything is still exciting and new...and yet often ends up not played with after the first exploration of the product.

We just bought him this robot for his birthday, and "wowWee" did we find a winner!! We have 3 sons, aged 10, 9 and 5...as well as Daddy...all of whom were fascinated with this thing! This robot is incredibly articulated and quite an advanced toy, Something like this would have been several hundred dollars 5 years ago. It has "hips" like a human, allowing it to appear more lifelike in its movements. To the delight of all the boys (big ones included) it even burps and farts...yes...you read that right...what little boy wouldn't find this to be the most outstanding toy on the planet simply due to the simulated gas???

At first I figured this might end up like every other remote controlled toy, played with a few minutes then put aside for something more interactive. However, there is something captivating about it because it can do so many things and it is lifelike, yet not quite. The remote control is detailed and has many buttons, but within minutes all the boys figured it out. I think the longer term appeal comes from the ability to really make it do a lot of very different things, it doesn't just roll across the floor. It also has motion sensors which we have yet to get into in any depth but will be a kick to surprise someone with. Also, though some listed it is a negative, I feel the challenge in learning how to use the hands that grab to pick things up makes the toy more interesting and keeps the kids engaged as they master the skills of making it do what they want. It is not impossible, just requires more precise controlling to get the Robosapien to grab the cup that comes with it or pick up other items.

Unlike others, I paid only $[...] for it and felt that for the money it was actually built pretty solidly. Sure, it is plastic (isn't every toy these days?), but it is not flimsy nor super delicate, and for a toy that has this much in terms of moving parts I would expect it to be a bit more fragile than it is.

I was thanked at least 12 times for this toy, and although it was the only gift we bought our son for his birthday he said he didn't want anything else. Great product, would definitely repurchase...and just might have to get my hubby his own!
