>were a pioneer of the mass market robotic in the 2000s, having collaborations with many designs>Barely even exist anymore and all their recent product are crapWhat the FUCK happened, anyone born in the mid-late 90s knows about these guys.
>>11884228These guys? I had the robo dog, the walking big one not the music one. I remember begging my parents for it and when I finally got it was really lame and stopped working almost immediately.I feel like these kinds of things are just lame and the novelty wears off fast. Wasn't there recently like a thousand dollar Optimus Prime that transforms by itself? That seems boring too. I feel like if it can't help you with tasks or if you can't have sex with it, it's not that great.
>>11884228>>11884532Top right was by Tiger (another bygone name). I never had the robots, but I had the Flytech Dragonfly and that was really cool.Which reminds me, federal regulation killed off RC toys for the most part, which is why you don't see Air Hogs or NKOK anymore either.
>>11884228i had roboraptor, to be honest besides the kick ass design, it kind of sucked, it wasn't a smart robot by any means and novelty wore off quickly.
>>11884895they make and sell plenty of shif like cars and even dragons/dinos
>>11884532>stopped working almost immediately.isnt that often problem w/ battery or other electronic crap ?
>>11884228>What the FUCK happenedThe innovators died or retired and the company fell into the hands of lesser people. Many such cases.
>>11892454I have not seen many in my stores, part from actual hobby grade Kyosho, Traxxas and Tamiya stuff depending on where.Where are the brands like Air Hogs or Nikko?
>>11884532The robosen Trasnformers stuff have more independent movement and allow you to have more control of their actions, but they're very much richman's novelty toys.
>>11884532Robosapien 1.0 looked like a deathrobot reprogrammed and tamed to be your underling. 2.0 looked gay as fuck and had a dumb face and weak proportions that made him look retarded. I was super disappointed in it and it just killed the whole concept for me.
