Elvis Is Reborn -- As a Robot Head!

by Tom Samiljan on August 16, 2007 at 05:17 PM



Sadly, it's the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death today, but the King lives on in the Wowwee Alive Elvis, a singing, catch-phrase-saying, animatronic head that's sure to please Presley fans (and probably scare everyone else with its eerily realistic appearance).

If you're a fan of this sort of mass-market robotics stuff, you may remember the Wowwee Alive Animatronic Chimp that came out a year and a half ago. With his human features and unforgettable voice, the Wowwee Alive Elvis is the next step in the evolution of mass-market animatronics. Switched got to play around with the new toy for adults, which is just out now for $349.

Check out our up-close-and-personal look in the above video.
