Robosapien - Robosapien Toy & Robosapien Specs

I find them creepy... but Robotic Toys are huge in 2005 and will be in 2006. RoboRaptor. RoboPet. And Robosapien... Robosapien is found online at high-end retailers like Sharper Image and has the same features that the other Robotic Toys do - fluid motions, gesturing, walking abilities, and intelligence. I believe that Robosapiens and other Robotics Toys are hot because they are educational toys that kids actually enjoy... a rare mix indeed!
