Is this the same model that responds to 40 voice commands? This is the ONLY thing my 5 year-old son wants for Christmas....

Yes it is but... bought this for my daughter who also dreamt about and it was just disappointing. Works sometimes but most of the time not and the little one just got her new friend standing in a corner doing nothing, like he does best. At least she was thrilled receiving it, happy when it worked... really happy, then it faded like most of the toy anyway. So if you are ok, not expecting it works as advertised for the price, to make your daughter happy then go for it.

Yes! I bought one for my 11 year old grandson. I have been downloading apps on it so he would have some games. I got the resistive screen so it's best to use a stylest but works with finger also. Angery Birds Star wars looks awsome! Turn it on and two touches your playing.

The unit will work but the voice part is very bad, it has a hard time understanding what you say or ask, I tried 4 units and had the same problem, and took them all back or I sent them back to the stores and back to the place on the internet CO. The Voice activation is very very bad.

I don't know. It would depend on how good or experienced he is with electronics. I bought it for my 6 year old grandson because his older brothers hogged the computer or had I-Pads. He was always using his mothers phone for the simple games on that. Bought this for him last Xmas when he was almost six and he still uses it on car trips. As he is a bit hyper, bugging his brothers to get attention, my daughter loves this as it keeps him occupied for long stretches. If your 11 year old is not experienced with computer games, x-boxes, PS3/4's and such, it may keep him amused as it has LOTS of games. The question is for the price will it keep him amused long enough. I have never seen my 10 and 12 year old grandsons try to get this from their little brother to play with, but they are big on the computer and really smart. X-boxes and PS3/4s are good because they have many games you can play. The PS3 I bought for it's blue-ray capability came with a game they play endlessly when here called "Little Planet". There are "educational" games for all these systems, but don't call them that. Good luck!

Not sure. Has expressions such as "hop like a kangaroo" or "creep like a lion" and then music to a tempo associated with that action. Tells you to freeze now and then. Sometimes just says to dance. All I know is my kids are two and four and they run all over the house with it, taking turns pushing the button and doing the movements. I like it because the voice commands and music are not annoying like with some toys. I have bought three more recently for kids' birthdays.

I would try to find another karaoke machine that the 8 yr. old will not outgrow as quickly. There are probably others that will do more and can still be operated by an 8 year old. We found a couple in Toys R Us but didn't buy them because they looked a little too old. For our three year old, we needed to keep it simple and not worry about too many buttons and knobs. As you probably read, we were first happy with it but then had headache after headache trying to get the manufacturer to replace a defective microphone. Hope this helps, Kevin

My apologies, my grandson lives 1600 miles from me and I have not actually heard it talk. I just know he liked it. I have ordered two more different ones for Christmas where I will be able to see him open them and play with them. Then I can comment more reliably.

I got it for my son as christmass present. He was nagging me about getting him a remote control car which has and is collecting dust. So I got him the robosapien. Except for the annoying sounds, he seems to enjoy programming it. took him a while to learn how to, though. I think though, she would like the miip better

I believe so. I had the older version for my children where I had added the 4-7(or younger version) and it workded perfectly. I bought this for my goddaughter without it but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

It was a Christmas present for my grandson. He took it with him to his house. I think my son and wife did not like the recorded message over and over in a loud voice.

It has a few. I can't keep track because they change no matter when my daughter pushes the button. It's an awesome toy and well worth the purchase! Seriously. My 2 yr old (now three) plays with it as does my 4.5 yr old (then 3.5) I think if I gave it to them earlier they'd have loved it even more!

Hello, I use the PCM-M10 for plays. Some of the actors are very young and shy, so they do not project their voice like some of the older kids. No problem for the PCM-M10. It picked up all the actors. I hope this is helpful.

I know that he speaks several sentences but other than that I know of no other features. We bought for our 7 year old grandson and he loves it. Plays with it and the minions all the time. There is a larger Gru that may have special features however.

Did you order this and did it work? I have the same model and am looking for one of these for my son to use. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated! Thanks!

For Christmas I sent one of these phones to each of three sons. The middle man responds thusly: "I would think it would work fine with a normal answering machine! :)"

As I bought the exact same and the voice system. But my installer says in order for u to program what u want it's an separate software and he was not able to program it himself. So I left it alone. I would ask around first before you by.
