Own your very own ElvisBot

Amazon says:


Relive the magic of your favorite Elvis performance with this talking robot from WowWee–a lifelike singing and talking bust of the best-selling solo artist in U.S. history. Designed using motion-captured facial animations and a leather jacket styled from the Elvis Presley ‘68 Comeback Special, the robot lets you listen to, sing along with, and learn more about the life of the King of Rock and Roll. The robot offers four primary modes: Alive mode, which animates Elvis, tracks movements, and makes the occasional famous Elvis remark; Song mode, in which Elvis sings eight of his best-loved songs; Monologue mode, where Elvis describes his life and times; and Sing Through mode, which lets you sing along with Elvis or turn his vocals down and sing over the top (requires separately sold microphone). The robot is the next-best thing to inviting the King himself into your living room, and offers the added bonus of being physically possible.

    Creepy. Things like this for some reason unnerve me.

    Heh heh.. say your along in the middle of the night, and walking around the house. He’s in ‘alive’ mode, so his eyes are folling you…. watching you….

    Then he speaks, only instead of one of his ;famous lines’, he calls your name and asks, in his well-known drawl “Do you wanna to know what the… ‘dead side’ feels like?”

    Can you imagine what women (and some men) will do with this robot if his lips move?
