The 'Alive' robot range has seen itself further extended beyond the existing chimpanzee and Elvis models. WowWee has unveiled the 'Alive' robot animals which include a panda, polar bear, white tiger and lion cubs. These robot pets feature realistic fur, animated faces and make life-like sounds all activated by a series of touch and tilt sensors. Great presents for the kids or girlfriend.
Robosapien is set to hit the big screen in the blockbuster movie Robosapien: Rebooted. Robosapien: Rebooted has just begun filming in New Orleans. The film is based on our beloved Robosapien and is being directored by Sean McNamara. The film follows the relationship of boy and robot after the robot is programmed to go on the run apon the discovery of plans for it use in military applications.
WowWee's angry, aggressive Roboreptile does a lot with just four legs. It can jump, lunge, hop on its rear legs, turn swiftly left or right, and race forward. By combining these legs with a fully articulated, six-inch neck, a foot-plus-long tail, very reptilian face and a mouthful of rubber teeth, the Roboreptile achieves a startling effect.
WowWee's black-and-white reptile robot comes with a remote control. In fact, it's a three-level remote that includes a demo mode, direction controls, a feed button, guard mode, and, most welcome, a three-level volume control.

The Roboreptile is the successor to the Roboraptor. While comparisons are inevitable, it is best to think of them as each occupying a different niche market. While the Roboraptor can be a friendly and aggressive pet, the Roboreptile is the true predator between the two. It is fast, agile, and belligerent. It rarely enjoys being petted and greatly resists hooding unless it is too full to care. Because it is very mobile and always hunting and exploring, I believe the Roboreptile is best left in Free Roam Mode. It is much less of a pet, much more of an untamable adversary.
