what a disapointment this is. from the hype and the sales descriptions i'd expected much - kind of like a little guy wandering around the home responding to controls and interacting with his environment.
In reality it cannot walk far or fast or even cope with a change in the thickness of the carpet, the batteries run down really quickly, so that it cannot walk at all after a matter of minutes and the hand movements are broken after only a couple of hours play time.
In a way it is interesting as an art object illustrating how poor robotic toys still are and what a way they have to go yet to fulfill the hopes we may have of them. i'm glad i bought it as a bit of fun for my middle aged self rather than as a present for one of the children as they could only have had a significant disappointment.

The V2 is a piece of junk. Very disappointed, it is clumsy in its actions, keeps falling over and fails to recognise colours on most tries. Check out the forums for a full run down on the issues.
This looks like a rush job without being fully tested for bugs.
Spend your hard earned cash on something else.

Excellent.
Didn't use the first version, but well impressed with this little guy.
He's only out of the box about 3 hours and well worth it so far. It would be worth it for the burp alone! Have to learn how to programme his features still.
Durability is a key question given the high price. I wouldn't like to check him out falling off a table. Battery life may also be an issue.
Remember he needs 6 D batteries and 7 AAA batteries and they all go in his feet.
Warning to parents:
Santa may deliver him but he takes alot of time to liberate from the secure ties in the box - will need at least an hour to set up because of this.
