BBCnews is carrying this article summarizing the "Robosapien V2", a follow-up to last year's Christmas hit. We saw V1 all over the place, but never paid much attention to it. Olivia liked it because it was black and white with red flashing lights, and had buttons to push*. This new one is larger and has more behaviors, and they're coming out with two additional "companions" that it will "play" with.

I never thought "I can remember a time when toys only moved when you played with them" was going to be something I'd end up telling my child. Goodness knows what they'll be like in 5 years.
