WowWee Alive Elvis Head



Speaking of all-singing, all-dancing robots: From the same folks who brought Robosapien into the world of humanoids, comes this freakily realistic animatronic Elvis bust. For King worshippers (obviously), or anybody who's bored by their piles of the latest gadgets, the WowWee Alive Elvis ($330) comes pre-loaded with 20 licensed songs, 37 spoken-word Elvis-isms, and Infra-Red (IR) sensors that make this half-King get his swerve on to movement and light. It's also great for karaoke -- Elvis mouthes all the words as you sing them, though you'll need to purchase an external mic to actually experience it (don't worry, they're cheap). Yes, it's niche. But if you know someone who fits the bill (you know who you are), it's kinda the perfect gift, you know?

Elvis Is Reborn -- As a Robot Head!



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.
