ROBOREPTILE BREAKING NEWS

Child Magazine names the Discovery Channel Roboreptile as one of the Best Toys for 2006. The Miami Herald reports that It was selected by a team of experts who reviewed hundreds of the hottest toys for children. In addition, kids of all ages tested the expert’s picks in live tests conduted at the magazine’s office.

Where the Roboraptor was known to be challenged when it came to walking, especially on carpet and when it’s batteries weren’t fully charged, the Roboreptile is wonderfully agile and maneuverable. It can turn on a dime and it’s quick. It can also walk and run quite well on reasonably short carpet.

It’s feisty, really feisty! In fact, it has a brand new behavior mode called “berserk” mode which it enters if you try to put the calming hood on it’s head and it falls off. Then Roboreptile acts like a rodeo bull gone mad for a while charging at anything it can find!
Contrary to earlier reports, there is indeed a remote control for the Roboreptile, that also doubles as it’s feeding pod; it’s quite large in fact.

Early reviews of the Roboreptile are quite positive, with some cautions about very young children being taken aback by it’s aggressiveness. A better fit for them might be the slower moving playful Roboraptor which is now on sale at the Discovery Store for under $50.
