Product Description:

Are you into robotics, but don't just want another nameless, bumbling, human-shaped thing? Perhaps you crave something that mimics nature's many wonders like a Frilled Lizard robot. Well, amazingly, you've found that exact thing! Once assembled, this interactive robot can be set on two modes: "defense mode" and "pet mode". When set to "defense mode" this little guy will detect threats and respond accordingly by backing away, opening its mouth, puffing its frill, and running! On "pet mode" this reptile companion is a bit friendlier, albeit still cautious. It will still display its frill when feeling threatened, but when it feels safe it will follow you around adoringly. Although the recommended age range is 10 and up, it is worth noting that assembly is somewhat complex and requires time, patience, and vigilance. Instructions are diagrammed pictures, so little reading is required. However, there are some recommended tools not included. These are a diagonal cutter, a Phillips head screwdriver, a knife, and a hammer. In addition, the robot requires four AAA batteries (not included). The perfect gift for a robotics/model lover, a reptile lover, or someone looking to entertain their cats! Winner of Creative Child and Dr. Toy Awards in 2015.

Publisher Description:

Native to Australia, chalamydosaurus kingii or frilled lizard is one of the wackiest lizards to roam planet Earth. So in order to keep young lizard enthusiasts out of harm's way, OWI has created a freakish robot lizard that is fun to play with. The Kingii Dragon Robot is a smart super lizard with artificial intelligence (AI). Similar to the original from Australia, when this robot feels threatened, it gapes its mouth, flashes its eyes, and dramatically spreads and flaps its frill (pleated material that encircles its head) in a threatening manner. If you are not intimidated by these shenanigans, it then turns around, front and back legs erratically move as if it were scampering away from danger. Let us introduce you to the 2015 Toy of the Year as selected by Creative Child Magazine and 10 Best Educational and 100 Best Children's Products by Dr. Toy.

Kingii Dragon Robot by OWI has an infrared sensor that is programmed to "escape" or "follow-me". If the infrared sensor is activated in the "escape" mode the robot will automatically act "shocked!", spreading its frill, dropping its jaw, illuminates its bicolor LED eyes and will scurry away until it escapes to a safe distance. If the infrared sensor is switched to the "follow-me" mode using the 2 way function switch, then the robot will assess danger by bluffing the attacker (unfurling and shaking its frill). When the robot does not sense danger it might approach you like a pet lizard.

Thank goodness, that unlike the wacky frilled lizard that roams in Australia's tropical woodland, OWI's Kingii Dragon Robot is whimsically kooky and fun to build.

What age is this best suited for?
A shopper on Nov 7, 2018
BEST ANSWER: At least 10 and up if you want it be an almost independent activity. My daughter built it last year as a 10 (almost 11) year old. She had her dad cut all the pieces out of the plastic sheets but she cut off all the leftover plastic nubs herself. There are some fairly small pieces. She built the whole robot herself with just a bit of help with reading the directions and some help attaching the frill piece and some of the stickers (if the kid is particular about them looking very neat).

Work + Worth It
We ordered this for our 7 year old. At our fault, it was too challenging for him to build, so Dad put it together...mostly. When additional parts were needed Rainbow Resource Center had great customer service who was more than gracious and quick to help send a replacement. So, gave the item a 4. And RRC a 5+!

Great Kit!
My 9 year old son and his Dad put this together. They had a lot of fun doing it, and it's held up with a lot of play so far. So very happy with this purchase.

Fun for the Entire Family
A great gift for the older child to learn to assemble robotic parts, but anyone old enough to use remote control & respect the robot will have fun with it, including mom & dad!
