Toys and Games Reviews of WowWee Robosapien Humanoid Toy Robot with Remote Control
Customer Review: Awesome toy!.......for about 20 minutes!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this originally for my 5 year old who is now 12. He played with about 20 minutes then its over and forgotten about. Then we had two more kids, a boy and a girl. Girl is 6 now and boy 5. Same deal they pretty much think awesome....for 20 minutes then forgotten about. It doesn't keep kids attention very long. To me it seems like a such a cool toy but the proof is in the pudding as they say and I have now tried it on all three kids and its a no-go, now headed for yard sale or sale online. Very disappointed in, considering the price. Keep your money and keep looking. All three of my kids have loved legos and the little lego action figures. We would have done much better getting legos instead of this. Same for the Roboraptor, we tried it too and for our kids neither one was a hit. If you do decide to try it and your kids don't play with it much, don't keep it like I did thinking maybe 'later' they will play with it more because mine never did.Customer Review: Don't expect a servant

I also own the Sony Aibo, which at OVER USD $1200,00 is NOT a "Robot" that is going to 'bring you drinks' and do the chores as such mentioned in a review on the Robosapien. To expect a $75 buck toy to even come close to performing advanced fuctions like those is ridiculous, as my AIBO which was 10 times the cost won't, nor ever will even come close to 'bringing you a drink' The Sony Aibo was designed for Adults and/or highly technical advanced kids, the robosapien IS DESIGNED TO BE ONLY A TOY and all expectations of the toy performing anything other than what a TOY WILL create major dissapointment.
IT IS a good toy for a Child, who it was designed for, if the adults writing the reviews want more out of their $75 dollars, they would do better to put the $75 in a savings and buy a more highly advanced robot, but even with $2000 spent, you won't get anything to bring you drinks
Customer Review: It's a toy, but a great one
Summary: 5 Stars
I think a lot of the disappointment regarding the Robosapien seems to be from people that had too high expectations about it.
I have had one of these since they were released in July, and I am very impressed with it.
Rather than putting it in the same category as a robot that can answer the door, sort your laundry, and bring you a beer -- put this toy in the same category as a remote controlled car. If you think about it in these terms, it is an amazing gadget.
Not only can it do everything a remote controlled car can do (i.e. basic movement), but it is a bipedal robot, it has some limited programming ability, and it serves as an excellent base for hacks and modifications.
I think as long as you keep your expectations realistic, you will not be disappointed with the Robosapien.
Customer Review: Toy is fun while it lasts
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Customer Review: very very very very very good

i am 36 years old and i really love this toy. it's fun cool and keeped my entertained for hours. For anyone who love fun exciting toy to play with, i would recommend it. So, as a conclusion to my complimentary review for this wonderful fun exciting toy, I a have to say this. I would want to buy tons of theses toy dispite of my age. I'm really 36 and to prove it you can just look at my very advanced vocabulary. But I'm writing this because I still feal like a kid. Now i will finish my review because ny mom says i have to finish rubbing her feet while she watches her programs on our television. Oh yeah, I give it 5 stars. GREAT JOB ON THE GREAT TOY
