Remote control roboreptile

2007-01-18
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my grandson for Christmas. I had looked at the other RC dinosaur that is black and white at a store in my city. It looked fine, but was so loud that I was hesitant to get it. When I saw this one on Amazon, I loved the way it looked and took a chance that it would not be too annoying for my daughter's family to tolerate when my grandson was playing with it. Turned out that it was the hit of Christmas, it's not too loud, and the only drawback is that my daughter's 80 pound golden lab is scared of it.

Lots of Fun

A lot of fun. We enjoy playing with it. Did almost everything advertised except sound and food tracking. It may do these things, but we haven't figured it out yet. A few more directions may have been more helpful. A little noisy, but the guard mode was a lot of fun. Green Chrome color wasn't a big deal to my Son.

Great toy!

We bought this for our 10 year old for Christmas, he has Robosapien and this was next on his list. After reading reviews on Amazon we decided to get it, and he loves it! We also have a 3 year old, so I was a bit nervous after reading about not letting your young ones use it alone, but it is great. He does so much cool stuff, so many great actions, and is easy to turn it off and shut him down if it gets "wild" or your kids have had enough. It has been a huge hit, and we recommend it for any fan of the Discovery Channels "Robo" series!

Fantastic Robotic Toy!

My eight year old son absolutely loved his RoboReptile that he got for Christmas and he still plays with it long after the Christmas decorations are put away! It is fun for him and the entire family and it works just like the commercials - very action packed with realistic movements and sounds. We were very pleased to get the Discovery version with the cool metalic green coloring which is much more pleasing to me than the steril white version. I would recommend this toy for any child that has an interest in robots as it is a very cool toy and worth every penny!

Awesome buy!!!

I ordered this for my Grandson for Christmas and when it arived I took it out of it's box to see how it worked... And let me tell you I was amazed by how life like it was and how it can roam around the house on it's own. My Grandson was having so much fun he didnt care about any of his other gifts. I would suggest this to anyone who has a young kid or even for them selfs. I know that I'm now going to be buying one for my self.

Roboreptile entertains the entire house.

We bought our 11 year old granddaughter a roboreptile for Christmas. All the family, Mom and Dad included, loved it. Our older granddaughter was having a birthday a week after Christmas and really wanted a roboreptile of her own. Christmas night I got on the internet and searched for another roboreptile. I was thrilled when I found the same one in a different color. The wars between roboreptiles could soon begin. Our 8 year old is the master handler. It has been great fun not just for the children but for the adults as well. Keep plenty of batteries on hand!

Very Unique Toy!

My grandsons love the Roboreptile in the unique color which shifts as you look at the toy from different angles. The reptile responds well to the remote and has a wide variety of exciting actions. A great buy of a very unique toy!

Like a pet

I think I enjoy playing with this as much as my 8 year old some. And the dog loves it too! We put it in it's automatic mode and watch the two of them play together!

Roboreptile

My daughter really liked it because it's very realistic, except the eagle scream. You can feed it virtually (and it makes a bone-crunching noise), and it has three modes. And she likes the fact that it can walk around, and chase things. It also goes to sleep when you put the hood on it. It also has a touch sensor, so it responds when you touch it.

You shouldn't need a sawzall to open a christmas gift...

We don't own a LONG Philips head screwdriver, so we couldn't unscrew the rotoreptile from it's useless stand. The rest of the packaging is a bit much as well.

The reptile however is really great! It walks/runs a little slower then expected after reading some other comments here, but the neck and tail movement is really fluid. I'd be interested in buying the human version I saw advertised as well. Lots of fun for kids and adults!

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
