Features

With his advanced artificial intelligence personality, realistic biomorphic motions, direct control and autonomous behaviors, the age of the dinosaur has truly returned.
Fluid bi-pedal motion: walking, running and predatory gaits. Realistic body movements: turning head and neck with whipping tail actions. Three distinct moods: hunter, cautious and playful.
Multi-sensory: touch sensors in his tail, chin and tongue. Sonic sensors can detect the location of sharp sounds. Infra-red vision system detects objects in his path or approaching (when he is stationary).
Playful Jaws that play pulling games. "Laser" tracking technology: trace a path on the ground with the remote and he will follow it. Visual and Sonic guard mode. Responds to commands from Robosapien V2.

Summary: The overpriced paperweight
Comment: A few years ago, I wrote a review on Roboraptor (see the rewiew 'fun but had big flaws.') I enjoyed it then, despite the walking problems. Now, three years later, I would like to rewrite that review. DO NOT BUY THE ROBORAPTOR. You are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment! If you watch the commercial for this product, you will notice how attention is drawn to the 'touch sensors.' These are not sensors, they are buttons. This is a major letdown. Second, this toy does not walk at all. It will waddle around without moving anywhere, and mine actually fell over once.
I have not played with this toy for 2 years, and it stays in my closet, collecting dust. Whenever I am about to purchase an expensive item, my family always reminds me to consider the 'roboraptor incident.' I spent $100 on this, and though it costs slightly less now, it is still ridiculously overpriced.
AGAIN, DO NOT BUY THIS $80 PAPERWIEGHT.

Summary: realistic toy
Comment: We got this for our five y.o. granddaughter who loves dinosaurs and she actually 'slept' with it the first night. He is so realistic in some of his moves that sometimes he frightened her at first, but she truly loves this toy.

Summary: Roboraptor
Comment: I have a 5 year old boy who absolutely loves dinosaurs, and that Christmas morning when he tore off the wrapping and saw what was underneath it all, eyes wide open full of emotions, believe me just the look on his face that Christmas morning was worth it all.

Summary: My 6 year old loves it!
Comment: My son saves his own money for most of his toys. His dad and I started this after we got tired of buying toys only to have our son play with them for one day and then stayed buried in the toy box or sit on a shelf. Each week he earns up to $10 allowance and he chooses an item to save for. On some level I think it actually helps him appreciate his toys more, but with the Roboraptor I think he would have loved it either way.
It's true that it's quite difficult to get out of the box. My son is old enough to want to be helpful, but young enough to be impatient and more than anything delay the process with his questions and frustration. Plan on a good 20 minutes to extract him, and have a small phillips head screwdriver handy.
Once we were able to free Rexx (my son's name for the robot) and get all of the batteries in place, Rexx came to life! He was on hunt mode, I think, because if we made noise he growled and moved in our direction. We were laughing histerically while running away from a dinosaur that stands less than a food off the ground!
We read the book and my son is now able to use the remote and put Rexx into the different moods. Rexx's behavior is distinct enough that I can take one glance and identify which mood my son has him in. I think our favorite mood is playful. Rexx wags his tail, sniffs everything, stops and cocks his head to one side when he hears a sound, and more.
We do have hardwood floors, which I imagine allows Rexx to navigate more easily. He does occasionally get stuck in a corner on roam mode, but he will back up and turn when he can sense an object.
Does he run faster than a child? No! His legs simply aren't long enough! Is Rexx noisy? Yes. He walks around growling and sniffing, his hard plastic feet make a tapping sound on the floor, and the mechanics to move his body make a humming type sound. Is he able to completely navigate and respond to his environment? No, of course not. And if technology is that advanced, it's not in my price bracket!
Buy this dinosaur with realistic expecations of a plastic toy that runs on AA batteries, and you will be pleased. My son has spent at least 20 minutes a day for the past 2 weeks playing with Rexx. His imagination fills in some of the gaps!
Enjoy!

Summary: robo raptor
Comment: This is robot is fun to use, because it can walk, move its mouth, and play games. It is best to use it on wood or tile, because it won't be able to walk on carpet, and it doesn't scratch the floors because it has pads on its toes. Sometimes it doesn't listen to your commands. It is a fun toy.

Dinosaurs are back and roaming the Earth in the 32" long Roboraptor. An advanced fusion of technology and wild individuality.
