Can you say "diversify?"
WowWee can, and it's saying it loudly and proudly here at
CES 2009. While the company has surely dabbled in areas outside of straight-up robotics before, it's never taken it upon itself to product a suite of pico projectors nor pets designed solely as sleeping companions. No need to wipe the sand from your eyes -- the same company responsible for
Mr. Personality is dish out a Cinemin line of micro PJs (powered by TI's DLP technology) here in the desert. Moving on, we're also informed of the Spyball spy-cam, a remote controller, WiFi-enabled robotic ball that strangely reminds us of
American Gladiators. The company's got plenty more in its bag of tricks too, including the Joebot and Roborover robots, FlyTech Lightstar flyer / Hoverpod racer, four new breeds of
Alive Cubs and a fresh line of "pajama pals" dubbed Sleeping Cuties. Hop past the break for details on the whole crew.

What I'm wondering is when they'll come out with raptors on hoverboards.
They can't complete the project until the lightsabers are out of R&D. Can't have raptors without lightsabers.
This wing shaped thing in the photo gallery looks like their latest version of what they call "Bladestar". If this latest version is at all like the last I would strongly advise AGAINST buying it and at the bare minimum trying it out first. The first "Bladestar" was stupid boring to fly and after 5 minutes of trying one that I had purchased I felt like throwing it away. It was just 100% complete and utterly boring garbage.
