Disney brought the Wall-E toys that we wrote about last week to Maker Faire, and I took this video of a demo of the Ultimate Wall-E… It’s pretty much what you’d expect, albeit (okay okay) slightly cuter than I might have thought:
The other toy, the much smaller and less sophisticated iDance Wall-E, looks just about as detailed as the Ultimate Wall-E.
He’s really quite a spunky little guy… He’s able to dance, sort of, and he makes some noise, and although you can plug your MP3 player (or whatever) into him, he won’t do anything as cool as sync his movements to it. He did have a habit of falling over backwards, but maybe that’ll be worked out by the time these toys come out this fall.
