Wowwee's Spidersapien caught on tape, slings webs

All these videos of Wowwee's quickly-growing lineup of must-have robots has got us quite envious, but still, it's better to see these things caught on tape than never at all, right? One of the firm's first licensed superheros is none other than Spidey himself, and the Spidersapien was able to take a moment from his heroic day to show its stuff for TechDigest. The bot is actually quite different than just a Robosapien with a fancy paint job, as his mannerisms, gait, built-in voice blurbs, and abilities are all straight from the Spider-Man vault. So go on, click through for the live action video of Spidersapien calling out the baddies, waddling about, and of course, slinging that unmistakable web, and start saving now for when these land this summer.

I think that "Spinning that unmistakable web" could, in this case be far more accurately described as "Waddling awkwardly with arms flailing making "pew pew pew" noises."

I don't think I ever saw Spiderman do that before, but I'm not with him every hour of the day.

That reporter is extremely attractive.

[Richard Lai @ Jan 27th 2007 7:55PM]

Second that. She's damn cute. I want her instead of that stupid Spidersapien.

I was about to say...

[2Perfect @ Jan 27th 2007 9:08PM]

lol I was thinking that too... definitely agree to "I want her instead of that stupid Spidersapien" though (Y)

that's some really weird web swinging though.. =/

I for one welcome our spider-man themed robotic overlords.

[blahblah @ Jan 27th 2007 9:31PM]

...and here I thought it would actually shoot some kind of webs...

I really don't get the appeal of these things. They're really more of a waste of raw materials, effort and money of you ask me. Useless...

pew pew pew pew... wah wah what the f*ck? That was the single lamest toy ever. Lucky for Spidersapien, he won't have to hold that title for very long, soon his retarded half brother homersapien will get some love from the camera.

[Comi @ Jan 27th 2007 10:36PM]

I think the toy is supposed to be a joke...

I think Susi Weaser is the name you are looking for right now =)

...and she was hired by the BBC late last year as a presenter:

Hey, leave my future wife alone!

"The bot is actually quite different than just a Robosapien with a fancy paint job"

I'm not seeing that. The video reminds me of a Robosapien, but with a different paint job. Never have I witnessed Spiderman walking like Frankenstein, with extra long robotic arms.

Color me not impressed.

[ChekOne @ Jan 29th 2007 2:45PM]

Wow, Susi is a hotty

[Genome @ Jan 29th 2007 6:10PM]

wouldn't a Eddie Brock+Venom more suit robosapien's build?
