Gotta Get Me a Pleo

As a kid, I was an absolute fanatic about dinosaurs. In fact, while most girls were playing with dolls, I had a large sand box my mom made me filled with plastic dinosaurs which used to keep my attention for hours. 30 years later, Pleo is about to make every kid (and kid at heart) go bananas over this robotic dinosaur -- or "truly autonomous life form" as Caleb Chung, creator likes to describe them. 

What makes the Pleo so amazing is that it is designed to interact. The Pleo, according to the Website, "is equipped with senses for sight, sound, and touch. He learns as he explores his environment. He will exhibit genuine reactions to sensory stimuli. Every Pleo begins life with certain tendencies but, interaction with his environment has subtle effects on his behavior. Every Pleo eventually exhibits a unique personality.

Pleo is capable of expression. He can feel joy and sorrow, anger and annoyance. When Pleo is tired, he will become drowsy and go to sleep--even dream. Two or more Pleos will recognize one another. Be careful though. They can transmit colds to each other. Achoo! Pleo even sneezes!"  

How cool is that?!?! The Pleo is stirring major buzz this year as the holiday's near and I can see why. Checking out the PleoWorld website, these cute juvenile camararsaurs are worth getting in line for. Santa -- This little feller is on my list!
