Hear Me Roar


Roboraptor
We just got these in at work, and after doing some exhaustive "consumer testing" (otherwise known as playing around) these things are a ton of fun. This reviewer likes them as well: "loud, yet oddly lovable Roboraptor dinosaur toy robot could become the must-have gadget of the 2005 holiday season. With its toothy grin, blue reptilian eyes, and bright black, white, and gray body more than two feet long, the Roboraptor is a surprisingly lifelike robot, with just enough autonomy to make it truly interesting for both kids and adults."

The only bad thing I could say about it is a rather questionable design decision. To activate it, you have to turn on a switch which is located in a rather awkward spot, unless you are a dinosaur proctologist.

And another "work" note. The other day somebody called out and used the excuse that they "HAD TO go to the shore". Perhaps if they had claimed seasonal affectation disorder as an excuse, I might have given them partial credit, but at least TRY to be a bit more creative!

This is hilarious, I was just looking at this creature yesterday. My friend's son screamed "ROBORAPTOR"! We flipped it over, gave it the Dr.'s examination (turned it on) and nothing! I'm not sure why it didn't work, but it looked like fun. OH, and by the way GET TO WORK! :-)
