WowWee Robosapien with Mini Robo

My boyfriend loves his robot, the large one does all kinds of things, but it's kind of difficult to figure it all out, there are tons of buttons, and you have to switch colors for different things. He talks, walks, dances, picks light items up...it's really quite fun! The small robot is suppose to walk, but doesn't, so it was disappointing, but the way I see it, he was just a bonus, so it didn't really bother me.

My 6 year old son loves his robot. He said he never thought he would get a robot a christmas. It was a complete surprise. He loves making it pick up the cup and pieces of paper. The remote took him a few moments to learn, but he quickly got the hang of it. It's christmas night and he has been playing with it off and on all day. He seems to have gotten the hang of it pretty well. I am not sure if Im right about this, but the head seems a bit easy to detach. The rest of the toy appears very sturdy and solidly built.

My son (12 yrs) received this for Xmas last year and has not taken it out of the closet since January. He played with it for a month straight learning the capabilities of the robot (he never touched the mini robot) but lost interest in it once he figured out it couldn't do anything else without spending more money on it!

I got the Robosapien to scare my cats and dance but it's too slow to interact well with pets. The cats just sit there and stare at it when I'd love for them to play with it. It was fun to play with for about an hour then I got bored because I didn't feel like programming all the dance moves. I didn't try making him pick things up but I did make him walk all over my apartment and he kept getting stuck in passageways when the wires in his arms would brush against anything. The little guy that comes with was cute, and I gave him to my nephew. I might have another go at playing with the larger Robo and I'll let you know if my opinion changes.
