From the Manufacturer

WowWee Wrex the Dawg Robotic Dog. WowWee Wrex is a mischievous robotic pal and a real junkyard dog. Built from discarded mechanical and electrical parts, Wrex is the ultimate loveable Frankenstein pooch, despite a few loose nuts and bolts. He can roam around autonomously, but when he malfunctions, you will have to help him reset his circuits straight. Wrex the Dawgs behavior depends on his moods and desires. His three moods Happy, Angry and Crazy and three desires Exercise, Call of Nature and Hunger are expressed in Wrex the Dawgs crazy slot machine eyes. You will always know what he is thinking and feeling. Lift up his back panel to reveal the re programming buttons. You can program him to behave like a cat, perform wild actions or even dare to disobey your commands. Wrex the Dawg scampers around on his hind wheels. Take him for a stroll or let him roam around freely and he will change his moods and desires, just like a real dog.

Fun for Older kids December 10, 2008
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I just bought this for my nephew (8) and his little sister (4) and I was pretty excited about it (because they can't have a real dog and I thought this would be fun) but now I think I've made a bad choice. The dog itself is pretty cute but the voice on the dog is like a dude pretending to be Scooby Doo by using a lot of (sometimes hard to hear) words along with some fake dog noises. Some folks will really enjoy that, but I was expecting more dog-like noises and I think it will creep out my little neice. There is a good variety of poop humor in this toy which is also older kid stuff. Also, there is a reference to Oscar nominations for a very extreme "play dead" mode, which is way over a little kid's head. So, it's not a good fit for my shopping needs but older kids will get a kick out of it.

robotic dog January 19, 2009
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
Rex is awesome and everything he said he was. He came quickly and looks great. I just wish they had a girl looking Rex as my girl was a little sad that Rex wasn't more "girlie". But.. he is awesome, funny, easy to use and program. Looks great, is a very "positive" toy and well worth the time we spent looking for him and the money we spent. I do recommend this guy to anyone looking for a remote control doggie. He moves very well, in all directions and does over 100 different things on command.
He even acts for you, like playing dead, very funny and entertaining for kids and adults.

reminds me of scooby-doo December 26, 2008
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I received Wrex the Dawg yesterday for Christmas. He reminds me a lot of scooby-doo. He sounds like him, and his personality is like him innocent yet a little naughty. There are two ways to operate him. 1 is his large remote. 2 he has a number pad on his back to type the numbers for his commands. Here are a few of the things wrex does. He shakes, growls, plays dead, goes dizzy, slides, begs, charges, whistles, howls, and gets excited. He pretends to chase his tail, catch flies, take a wiz, pass gas, sneeze, bite, and dance. I do not feel he is meant to be a dog for someone that wants a real dog. He is more for someone that wants to laugh and be entertained. I like how I am in control, so I get to tell him what trick to do when. I do kind of wish some of his tricks were longer like chasing his tail. Overall though I feel he is a great fun toy for older children or an adult.

Interesting toy, kinda spins around has a racy program. Also when loaded full of batteries weighs as much as a read boxer, 10-12 pounds.

So much fun!
Despite the lack of educational value, I still have to give this toy 5 stars. My son got frustrated with it at first, since it sometimes acts like a real dog and does what it... Read more

Fun to watch
My kids have been happy with the toy dog. It is funny looking and does few tricks just that my kids use it for 20 minutes and that's it, not a toy to play for long time.

The so-called WowWee Wrex the Dawg Robotic Dog I bought is a mess. It does not walk properly and sometimes it is hard to accept command from the remote control. Read more

Cute, but flawed
I was sorry I bought this. It was exceedingly difficult to get the battery cover back on, once the batteries were installed. Additionally, it's really not a kid's toy. Read more

Robotic dog
I bought it for my 3 year daughter, she likes it and but it is a little heavy. It is difficult for 3 year old kid to control it. Anyway, a good robotic dog.
