Playmobil's
Robot has a movable head, legs and arms. It also has a lazer
gun with which to defend itself... and er... that's it.
While
it is extremely cheap as a stand alone toy it is pretty pointless.
You really need a ship to play with and ideally the Space
Station for it to roam around. But on its own it is pretty
dull.
Imagine
this, a 30-something male in an office playing with a tiny
robot, pushing it backwards and forwards around his desk,
occasionally making the sound of an alien lazer gun being
fired. Sound sad? That was me for about five minutes trying
to think of something interesting to say about this toy.
It
is cute but give this to a kid as a present and you are likely
to get a lot of tears - unless they already have a couple
of the other toys in the range.
I
really did want to like this, but what can you do with a tiny
robot, apart from look a complete idiot in front of your colleagues?
