The new Disney's Wall-E

Developing toys that have grown out of pieces of fiction is hardly new. He-Man and Superman toys are all based on their respective franchises, and if the series proves successful, the toy itself turns out to be very successful too.

Unfortunately, such movies, cartoons, and serials have been known to bore adults. Not so, with Walt Disney's latest film 'Wall-E'. Wall-E has been breaking new ground in cinematic history, as an ecologically minded film. The primary protagonist is a robot named 'Wall-E'. For those of you who haven't seen the film, I'm not going to ruin it by telling you the story. Just two words of advice - watch it.



Capitalizing on the success of the theme, Disney has announced a new Wall-E toy. One of the defining characteristics of the toy, is the cute/sad looking expression. For a toy, that goes down very well. I wondered what exactly it was, that was creating that effect, and played around with my fingers covering various parts of the eyes, and found that it was primarily the straight line on top of the eyeballs that was contributing to what has become the defining Wall-E look.

If who haven't had enough of Wall-E in the movie, you might want to consider owning him for life! Think of the example you set your kids, by giving him a role model like Wall-E to play around with.

The thing that makes the Wall-E toy, an Irresistible Goodie, is the neat things that Wall-E can do. The Wall-E toy comes with a sophisticated navigation system that prevents him from crashing into things. And he comes with a remote control that has a touch sensitive pad that allows fine grained control of his movements. You can also make Wall-E feel different things with the various emotions that are built into him.

Wall-E will also follow you around the room as you talk to him. He can sense when you come in, and react accordingly. He can also act as your personal music player, and can play MP3's with his inbuilt speakers.
