I purchased wrex after watching a video on utube. While I agree with the previous review that Wrex is not for very young kids, I do think he’s a wonderful robot. I’m amazed at the expressions and the overall movement. He’s truly a cartoon dog! At $50(xmas 2008) he’s a steal! At $100 he’s a special purchase for the right person(robot lover/ tech enthusiast). He might be good for that 12-15yr old crowd. I would prefer a totally autonomous(no remote control) robot but at this price who can complain…but on the upside having a remote lets you show off his ‘tricks’…relieving himself…flatulating(is that a word?)…exagerated sneezing. I’m not into that kind of humor but he’s just funny!

My 7 year old son begged for this toy. He played with it for 1 day and hasn’t touched it since. It has a very silly, annoying voice. It does some funny things and does have a lot of functions. After we got it I realized they also make a smaller one which I wish we got instead. It is much bigger than I expected and expensive.

Great robot. Can keep a kid under 9 intrigued for half an hour at a time. Voice is hilarious and his raucuous behavior makes little kids and adults laugh.

I like this dog, he’s funny, and I like that you can put in different codes to make him do stuff. The guide book comes with lots of handy info which you’ll definitely want to read. Would be better suited for a child who is able to read by themselves!! My 4-year-old likes him but she isn’t able to do much without my help, but she knows how to make him sneeze! He “malfunctions” a bit too often for my liking though.

I received Wrex the Dawg yesterday for Christmas. He reminds me a lot of scooby-doo. He sounds like him, and his personality is like him innocent yet a little naughty. There are two ways to operate him. 1 is his large remote. 2 he has a number pad on his back to type the numbers for his commands. Here are a few of the things wrex does. He shakes, growls, plays dead, goes dizzy, slides, begs, charges, whistles, howls, and gets excited. He pretends to chase his tail, catch flies, take a wiz, pass gas, sneeze, bite, and dance. I do not feel he is meant to be a dog for someone that wants a real dog. He is more for someone that wants to laugh and be entertained. I like how I am in control, so I get to tell him what trick to do when. I do kind of wish some of his tricks were longer like chasing his tail. Overall though I feel he is a great fun toy for older children or an adult.
