5.0 out of 5 stars
Wall-E is a cute-E, but not so sturd-E.,
By Patricia D. McCoy "There are older and younge... (Dayton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Wall-E - Ultimate Wall-E (Toy)
My 28 year old boyfriend and I purchased one of these for the holidays because we are both big fans of the movie and its message.
To start with getting Wall-E out of the box is like breaking into Fort Knox. I'd recommend having some strong shears, and a pair of needle-nose pliers on hand, as well as some double-A batteries, a small phillip's screwdriver, and 5 hours to charge his motor pack the first time you play with him. This is especially helpful to parents who want it ready to go on Christmas morning. Speaking of parents, I will say now that parts of Wall-E aren't the strongest and that small children should be supervised at all times during play. I don't have any kids to "experiment" on to see just how resilient things are and my review is that of an adult collector and should be taken as such. Just covering my bases. Now when ready to go Wall-e has an array of movements from just head controls, to emotions, to motor controls. It could take up to an hour to get the whole manual down. Once you have it he behaves convincingly and damned adorably. His sounds and noises are right out of the film and you can make him do just about anything. He's a great fully-functional remote controlled vehicle, pretty much. So, to summarize... Pros: -- The ultimate collectible for Wall-E fans. -- Cute, entertaining, and complex movement and interactions. -- Several modes to play with, from full control to automatic wandering. -- Treads make movement easy, even on carpet or uneven flooring. -- Can act as a speaker for your MP3 or CD player. Cons: -- Takes some time to learn, not fully intuitive out of the box. -- Complex and probably breakable by the very young or irresponsible. -- His motors are a bit loud, the whirring makes it hard to play quietly. -- Some little touches are missing: his "eyebrows" don't raise, and it would have been great if they'd made his solar charge meter glow, or even turned it into a battery indicator. Overall, a great product if you can afford it, but not really a great choice for really young fans. A+

This review is from: Wall-E - Ultimate Wall-E (Toy)
The Ultimate Wall-E is a pretty cool toy. Maybe a bit expensive but very cool. He looks and sounds very real. He is very easy to operate and even program.
The servos that drive his arms, head, body, etc. are a little noisy but I just look at it like he is a robot. The track noise is a little high too but like I say, he is a toy robot. The sounds I guess sort of add to his realism. The only thing we didn't like about this item is the battery life. We found that the battery will only give about 15 minutes of solid play on carpet. I have a digital peak charger that I would use to charge it back up in a hurry. The battery pack is only 1000 mah, after 15 minutes it would need to be charged. It would only take about 400-500 mah to top off but would only give 15 minutes of play. After a week I ended up purchasing a better battery. You can find them online or on "popular auction sites". I used a 2000 mah battery and Wall-E now outlasts us as far as how long we play with it. The battery pack lasts hours vice minutes. Overall a very cool toy. We love Wall-E.

Wall-e Lives Here!,
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Wall-E - Ultimate Wall-E (Toy)
This little buddy was a top of the Santa list item, and we are experienced roboticists, so a lot was expected. Wall-e has some impressive sensors and programming. He has the usual features of robotic devices in that he is not a toy for rough handling due to the electronics, period, but he's quite solid and well made in his functioning. His true Wall-e personality is expressed in his activity. We're still exploring. He manages quite well around the house and hasn't caused any damage or knocked things over, the sensors give good coverage for household obstacles and are well located! The programming that is done through the remote device is straight forward and doesn't require robotics experience, but that does help to understand just what's inside, and it's impressive. Good time of full power use with the recharged battery. We haven't saved programs to any extent, yet, just letting him explore, play music and follow us around. Knowing what's inside, it's tempting to encourage the company to upgrade the remote to allow several programs to be saved without erasing the last saved program. The number of commands it will save, though, is long enough that we're not going to run out of fun. Wall-e is a wonderful little addition to our robot family!
