Pre-Order Your Ultimate Wall-E
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 5 of August , 2008 at 4:21 am
We spotted the prototype of Disney’s remote control Wall-E toy at Maker Faire back in May, and it looks like Ultimate Wall-E is now up for pre-order from Pixar Disney. It’s essentially what you’d expect from the preview we had a few months ago (albeit with an obligatory price-hike to $250), but here’s a complete run-down:
* With the original voice from the hit movie, WALL-E can chat with you. He can also dance, play music from your MP3 player (cable included), follow you around, or explore on his own. His programmable infrared remote control lets you create more than 1000 action sequence combinations!
* His eyes light up and blink with the expressions you loved in the film
* Designed with advanced technology, Ultimate WALL-E has audio, motion and obstacle sensors
* WALL-E will turn his head towards a sound and respond thanks to 4 audio sensors that give him 360-degree sound detection.
* 4 motion sensors, 3 in the front and 1 in the back, allow WALL-E to detect motion and trigger his curiosity
* Obstacle sensors enable WALL-E to detect obstacles in his path to avoid collisions
* WALL-E’s arms move up and down, hands grip and rotate 360 degrees and his body tilts forward and backward plus he has real working treads
* Play modes include Follow-U mode, Explore mode, Dance mode, MP3 Music mode and Program mode plus he has an interactive Talk Back feature
* Innovative remote control allows WALL-E to be played with using Touch Pad control, dual joy sticks or any of the 16 function buttons for voice, lights, sound effects, music, expressions, special programs and more!
Oh, and one more thing:
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
That’s right, kiddies… If you live in California, Wall-E will probably kill you. And your unborn children. THANKS DISNEY! My advice? If you want to spend a ton of money on Wall-E swag, go for one of these instead. They’re guaranteed harmless*.

I think it`s time to stop obsessing about lead paint and start obsessing about lead solder. It`s taken a while…

You could use him for parts. Might be cheaper?
Might be kind of cool to mod because he’s programmable and has so much of a robot base already. Just make him autonomous and i’m sure he can start compacting our trash for us now.
O and Evan
If you need someone to help out with the posts, i volunteer.

I love Wall-E. We all must die sometime.
So what is it in this toy that’s so deadly? I dunno about other people but I’m personally not planning on licking my toy clean, so I doubt it’ll effect me much…

California law requires anything with any chemical in it that has the slightest possibility of making anyone feel bad to have a label with the wording you see above. So manufacturers put it on everything. In California, everything will kill you.

JUST GOT MINE!!! I’ve seen a lot of toys in my years with kids but this one takes the cake. Worth every penny! I just got it a few days ago from Rusty’s Toy Chest (rustystoychest.ecrater.com) and my kids just love it! They seem to be hard to find and I’m not sure if they have any more, so good luck. If you were like me and saw the movie and couldn’t wait to have your own Wall-E, this is the one you want.
