If a collector, or a kid, I recommend it. Even the guests enjoy it when they come over. I am a fifty year old guy who collects robots.and this is a great robot to collect. From a fine movie, and quite entertaining.
We enjoy playing with them. They kind of talk to each other and interact to the other one's voice. I love all the Wall-E toys, this one is just as cute as the others. This one interacts with Interaction Eve.
Anyone who has kids could have told them that this was a weak point.Given that these toys are expensive but not durable, if your child likes Wall-E you might be better off buying the cheapest version of the Wall-E action figures and skipping all the bells and whistles. I think the manufacturer could have easily reinforced the neck assembly with some metal brackets to make it sturdier. I was able to duct tape the head back on, but now Wall-E does even less than before.
All it does on its own is wave its arms and make a few noises. Within a week of getting it, Wall-E's "head" had snapped off its stalk. My son loves Wall-E and really wanted this toy, but be warned -- it is an "action figure" not a robot, meaning that your child will have to move it around and make it do stuff.
The wires were servered, so his eyes no longer light up. Your kid's imagination can supply all the rest. Still, my son enjoys playing with it.
My main problems with it is that it is not constructed for real world play.
However, my grandson only got it yesterday for his birthday so I haven't had much time to evaluate it I'm not sure that this toy is all its cracked up to be. I didn't notice a lot of interaction.
The neck is pretty fragile so you need to instruct little boys to be careful. He needs to be pushed along to move, and apparently dances and shirks to loud noises.
Perhaps if we had Eva he'd be more fun, but that means investing another $55 in a toy. We haven't figured out how to get him to do that yet.
Wall-e is a clever interactive robot, but really needs Eva to do most of the interactions. However, he does look at you when you call his name.
It's become an expensive imagination builder, that's for sure. It doesn't come with directions to let you know what he can do, so it's tough for the child to figure out what he can do on his own.
Yeah, right.
