Officially Cool
The Ultimate Wall-E Toy
Posted by Brian C. Gibson (brian@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 31, 2008
A little while back we showed you a video of a real life Wall-E on the streets and you, like me, probably just thought how bad you’d want one for yourself. Well Dinsey, Pixar, Thinkway Toys and WowWee have made that possible. They unveiled the Ultimate Wall-E at Maker Faire in Glendale, California. If pictures can say a thousand words, then its a good thing I found this awesome video on YouTube. This little Wall-E will feature 10 motors and full control with a touch sensitive remote control. Also catch this tidbit -
The Ultimate WALL·E is also MP3 compatible and features built-in speakers. USB cables and rechargeable batteries are included. The Ultimate WALL·E will debut this fall at ToysRUs and www.disneyshopping.com; SRP $189.99
So, just to let everyone know. My birthday is August 11, and I would want nothing more than this toy. Pixar is going to be my demise. I turn into a babbling 5-year old any time they come out with a new film. Anyways, watch the video and start balancing your checkbook. I guarantee you will want this.

Maybe it was my computer’s speakers, but i didn’t hear Wall-E making any noise. Can he say the things he did in the movie at all or make any of the noises?

Yes he can make pretty much the same noises you hear from the movie. His name, his sigh and other speech or computer noises from the film. It’s hard to hear in this particular video but he’s able to do them.
