Wowwee's own Elvis impersonator first popped up on the scene at CES, and was so realistic looking that it actually creeped out one of our own editors. Well, looks like Wowwee's finally getting set to release this thing, and if you've got $350 to spare, you can have your own Elvis in the house.
Prop the lifelike robotic bust on your mantel, plug in a cartridge (according to Wowwee, an additional $30), and watch as the Alive Elvis bops around and belts out one of eight tunes, such as "Hound Dog," "Heartbreak Hotel," or "Jailhouse Rock." Or you can listen to one of 37 monologues that recount his life history. If you get a karaoke jones, you can select the Sing Through mode on the remote (appropriately shaped like a microphone), plug in a real mic (not included), and sing along.
If you don't mind things getting weird, go into Alive mode and robotic Elvis will use IR sensors to look for movement and make real-Elvis type remarks as objects pass before him. Hey, who needs a cat when you can have a moving, interactive Elvis head to keep you company?
This is a fun toy, help bring back interest in the King for younger generation that missed him, I just got my Bronze Elvis bust from www.neo-mfg.com now I may need to get this toy for fun.
