Features:
The ultimate herpetological species. Don't be fooled by this beast's size -- he is fast, ferocious, cunning and intelligent.
A sly and ruthless creature, Roboreptile uses advanced technology for greater intelligence. He can be programmed with movements and animations and is packed with personality.
Roboreptile's powerful infrared vision and sonic sensors swiftly alert him to disturbances in his environment. In Guard Mode they make him a formidable sentry. In Free Roam his sharp sensory systems make him a ruthless predator.
Roboreptile can be extremely hostile or harmless, alert or asleep. He has four moods aggressive, ferocious, passive or tammed. Can be controlled directly, programmed or put into Free Roam, Demo Mode, Guard Mode or Sleep Mode.
Roboreptile vs Spike the Ultra Dinosaur
My now 6 year old saw Spike at many stores and wanted it for his birthday. Knowing all the other costs associated with his birthday party and his other presents, I didn't want to spend $130 for a toy that would most likely be forgotten or broken in a month. After do a search and watching some videos of Roboreptile, I purchased. When my son opened it up, it was love at first sight. Once he started playing with it, he looked up a me and said "Dad, this isn't the dinosaur I wanted, but I like this one much better." He loves interacting with it and chasing the dog. The best part is when he attempts to put the hood on and Roboreptile shakes it off and starts attacking. He gets a kick out of that.
My Girl Friends RoboReptile Rocks!!!
I got my girl friend the roboreptile for her birthday and it is awesome! The cats are terrified of it's realistic action! One of our cats always sneaks up on it after we turn it off and smells the robo's bottom (where the power button is!!!)
If you have a girl friend that likes robots and dinosaurs and cats this is a must have item! Hours of fun watching it terrorize the cats!!!
Great price, good toy
My daughter was saving up for this toy (which costs the equivalent of $[...] here in the Philippines) when we saw it at Amazon for $[...]. She was ecstatic (as you can imagine), and she's been very happy with it so far. For the price, it's a great toy. She is pleased and is having fun; what more can one ask for?
Neat! (but with insane packaging)
I got this for my birthday. When it arrived, I was excited, but when I opened the packaging, I had one thought. This must use a lot of material. They put so many screws, twisty ties, plastic tape strips, and cardboard panels into this thing, it took 20 minutes to open! But when I got it open, it was worth it. It did a weird hissing thing which frightened the dog, and then went into Free Roam Mode. This is FAST! It ran at around 6 miles an hour, and did a two legged walk at around 3. It also can react faster than WowWee Robotics Roboquad (which I also reviewed) and walks very well on carpet. The sound effects are a little repetitive, though; most of them are roars or screams. Also, the foodtracking thing doesn't work. This is still awesome, though. ... Read More
Roboreptile
Not a bad little toy. It is complicated and requireas your child to read instructions on how to operate it, which for a homeschooling mother I like. This roboreptile does eat through batteries rather quickly. But over all a pretty fun toy.
