WowWee MiPosaur Review 〓

Some toys are simply so much fun that kids hate to stop playing with them. The intelligent WowWee MiPosaur (that comes with a BeaconSense Technology Infused Trackball) is one of those toys that you would love to play it all day long. It’s like having a robotic dinosaur and a virtual prehistoric pet all rolled into one.

The smart capability of the toy is nothing short of amazing and kids are going to want this black dino bot. He can recognize the different ways that kids communicate with him.

He balances his body using two wheels on the back and he follows the trackball on the front. The trackball is what kids will use to begin the different modes that feature what the Miposaur is able to do.

The MiPosaur can interact with kids and obey their commands whether they’re given by gesture, through the TrackBall or by using the app. Because the creature has a mind of his own, he does have a personality that will allow him to display moods.

So don’t be surprised if you give him a command and he has a bit of an attitude about it. Kids can play with the creature, train him and engage in games, too. The three ways that kids can engage with the toy are with the app, using their hand or having the toy follow the TrackBall.

When kids use hand gestures, the Miposaur will respond based on his mood. So how he reacts in one instance won’t necessarily be the same the next time a child does the same hand gesture. He can react with excitement or he might show curiosity about what you’re doing. Sometimes, he won’t be too thrilled with the gesture and will clearly show that he’s annoyed. There are 10 commands he’ll follow in this mode. If kids use the TrackBall with the pet, he’ll follow it around thanks to the BeaconSense technology in the ball. There are 6 game modes that can be used with the TrackBall.

They are capable of going for a walk, fetching an object, dino in the middle, feeding time and dancing. Kids can also use the MiPosaur app to interact with the dinosaur. By using the app, kids can move the MiPosaur around, or take care of him when he’s hungry by giving him various things to eat – including oops … prehistoric men.

They can cause the creature to fight against other MiPosaurs or dance along with the music that’s played. Kids can also create a trail for the WowWee MiPosaur to follow. If they do choose to use the path tracing, you need to make sure you have a compatible device such as an iOS or Android. You will need both AA and AAA batteries and these are not included with the purchase.
