Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 17 of January , 2008 at 6:47 am

WowWee Wrex

“Wrex the Dawg is a mischievous robotic pal and a real junkyard dog! Built from discarded mechanical and electrical parts, Wrex the Dawg is the ultimate loveable “cross-wired” pooch, despite a few loose nuts and bolts! He can roam around autonomously, but when he “malfunctions” you’ll have to reset his circuits straight!”
