3.0 out of 5 stars Fun for Older kids, December 10, 2008

This review is from: WowWee Wrex the Dawg Robotic Dog (Toy)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars robotic dog, January 19, 2009

This review is from: WowWee Wrex the Dawg Robotic Dog (Toy)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars reminds me of scooby-doo, December 26, 2008

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.
