Wall-E Ultimate Control Robot Shipping Now

Written on Nov 1, 2008 by Brian and filed under News, Thinkway

There are a bunch of Wall-E branded robot toys, but this one is the “ultimate.” The 16″ tall Wall-E Ultimate Control operates via remote control and features light-up eyes and movie-like expressions and sound effects. This Wall-E is recommended for kids 8-14 and retails for $249.99 and is currently a Toys R Us exclusive.

A huge selling point of this robot is the voice. Many toys lose connection with the movie by including a reproduced or entirely new voice for the line of toys. Wall-E Ultiamte features the original voice from the movie, making it feel much more authentic. He can also dance, play music from your MP3 player, follow you around (while avoiding obstacles), or explore on his own. His programmable infrared remote control lets you create more than 1000 action sequence combinations!

Ultimate WALL-E has audio, motion and obstacle sensors and 4 audio sensors that give him 360-degree sound detection. WALL-E is also quite animated, he moves his arms move up and down, hands grip and rotate 360 degrees and his body tilts forward and backward and he has real working treads.

Wall-E is shipping now, exclusively from Toys R Us for $249.99.
