(More customer reviews)R2 is a great friend to my family.My kids treat him like a living pet. Sometimes he is little bit sensitive,but usually he is very cute and clever. And the super quick delivery from Amazon was quite impressive.

Standing nearly 15-inches tall, R2-D2 is your plastic pal that's fun to be with and a handy aid to navigating your way around the universe. This easy-to-control, hyper-functional droid walks, talks, and responds to your command. Resourceful and adventurous, R2 is ready, willing, and able to serve. He: navigates, patrols, and finds you on his own; guards and protects your room with his sentry room alarm; plays multiple interactive games; remembers and reacts to key Star Wars characters; and more. There's never been a more technologically advanced toy than this one. He's incredible! Some assembly required. For indoor use only. Requires 4x "AA" and 4x "D" alkaline batteries, not included. Ages 8 and up. Tap R2-D2 too hard on the head and he'll make an annoyed whistle and back away. Asked if he remembers Darth Vader, he'll cower in fear. This is one of the most decked-out toys ever with a soda holder, removable sensor scope, illuminating light beam, utility arm, sound-processing microphones, sonar navigational system, adaptable droid mood-status indicator, and sleek rotating dome. He responds to over 40 commands and includes a bonus poster with instructions. You gotta get one of these!

The Day the Earth Stood Still GORT 16in Collectors Figure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I went back and forth over whether to purchase this. I have the solid metal 5 inch Gort, very cool, as well as the wind up Gort so I figured...maybe...we'll see.
Let me explain. I wasn't looking to accumulate Gort's...I just saw them over time and liked 'em...so, I got 'em. I do love the 50's sci-fi genre. Reminds me of when I used to watch the "4 o'clock movie" after school in the mid 70's. I now have most of them on DVD. "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Earth vs The Flying Saucers", just to name a few...can't beat 'em...great stuff!
Well, I bought this Gort. It's BIG! (keep that in mind when thinking of where you're going to put it). Overall...it's growing on me (no pun intended) but, you really have to think about whether you want to spend the money for this one...not to mention the shipping. I priced it on at least a half dozen sites just to see if this one was "really out there" and the prices were all the same. So, unless you find someone on eBay selling one cheaper...it is what it is. By the way, neither of the sites I visited mentioned what it was made of. I figured it was resin and, unless I'm mistaken, it is. It's not heavy at all.
For what it's worth, here's my take on this. The product is cool. The price is a joke. But, we all like different things. So, if you have a couple of extra bucks just eating a hole in your pocket for this one...go for it. I look at it this way, if it makes you happy and you can spare the bucks...have a blast!
It IS pretty cool... once you get beyond the sticker shock.

The 16â? Gort Collectors Figure features 6 points of articulation, and is accompanied by a 4-color window box with a fifth panel. The indomitable Gort is sheathed in seamless silver armor; his broad hinge-plated visor conceals the port of his all-powerful beam weapon. Gort belongs to an interstellar police force obliged to address primitive and hostile planets such as Earth. In the Day the Earth Stood Still, Gort was represented by the humanoid emissary Klaatu. Klaatu attempted to convey the voracity of his mission, but when he was turned upon and wounded, he struggled to return to his vessel in order to impart the phrase â??Klaatu barada nikto!â? before Gort routinely annihilated the Earth.
