Q: what is this good for? Is it just a noise maker to let you know someone is in your room?

A: Alerting when someone is in your room is only one of the features. It's main feature is a story mode where the user can take part. It will take you into a story about finding a villain but it will ask for your help to swing him through something, to punch, kick, hide, and so forth, to accomplish the mission. It will also ask questions about you such as, your favorite color your favorite hobby etc. the more you talk with it the more it learns you and can respond sarcastically to your commands.

Q: will this item give u information like elexia. example weather, news etc.

A: No, the product does not give information such as weather.

Q: Hi. Our cat chewed through my son's Spiderman's power cord. What is the replacement part that I need to order? Thanks!

A: If it just the charging cord you mean? If so then all you need is to get a new USB to Micro-USB cord from Best Buy.

Q: Can it play music?

A: No, this item does not play music from your phone. However, the operating system the toy uses does have its own music it plays at certain times.

Q: When I turn on my Sphero Spiderman, the eyes stay dark without lighting up. Is this common? Or is there any button or command to light up the eyes?

A: I had similar problem because I did not do set up the right way. Called Sphero and they helped me through it all. I highly recommend you call them.

Q: Is there in spanish version, too?

A: You can have him talk I Spanish

Q: So for $149 you get a colored Spere that makes noise and lights up.... is it really THAT cool?

A: Actually... Yes... It is a just a fun toy/gadget to have on your desk. Setup up some alarms, goof around with.

Q: What is this?

A: This is a Smart Interactive with Voice Interaction piece of toy. Spider-Man will interact with you based on your selected option from your smart device app. Very cool and interesting! I got it for a very very cheap price so for me it was a steal!! It is perfect for all ages and collectibles!

Won't stick with you
I opened this up and jumped into it blindly. After some updates (Takes a while) This is a cool little toy for a 10+ yr old. I played around with it myself (I'm older than 10....a little) The system does have a few bugs that need fixing. It has syncing issues. You also need to download and app on your android or IOS devise. And the interaction aspect [ voice controls] are hit and miss. Some of the adventures require picking up Spidey and physically playing with him. I have to say, this costs way to much to risk the damage incurred by dropping or rough housing. It is a cool companion when it does work. My favorite feature is the alarm. Spidey is creative with his style of waking you. The variety is nice. make sure that your WiFi connection is up to par as you will need that to fully enjoy this toy. He learns from your interaction, So get involved. Finally , while there are a few neat features in this can of spiders, I just believe it is too much money for something so fragile aimed at kids. I don't recommend this to families on a budget. If you've got the cash to burn, give it a go. Side note: Some of the jokes are pretty Lame/Funny. But in all, it is a forgettable product. Only for the BIG Spidey fans.

Interactive toy with an Alarm clock!
this review is for Sphero Spider-Man toy This Sphero toy is very nice looking especially with the spiderman logo illuminating on it and the interactive LCD like eyes doing eye movements while the toy is talking to you or telling you a story or a joke. Here is a list of the cons and pros: Pros: - there is a good amount of content built in the app and the toy, it will take your kid months to get to know and play all of them. - the toy looks really good, and it stands out. - there are a few modes in which you can use the toy with, like teaming up to practice skills (requires movement with the toy), or asking for a joke or chatting or even asking the toy to tell you a story, or even fight villains. - a really impressive feature is the guard mode, when activated it would alert you if a movement happened around it. - I like the alarm clock, as simple as it is, its still a useful feature. Cons: - the speaker is positioned under the spiderman logo and its only protected by the rubber which makes the spiderman suit, it is very fragile, and if a kid held the toy the wrong way or squeezed it due to excitement while holding it the speaker might actually break. - this toy requires a somewhat a tech savvy user (parent or an adult to install the app, connect the toy to wifi, install the updates the first time). It also requires a seperate devise like a smart phone or a tablet to access the full features of the toy, which I find disappointing. - there is serious security issues as this toy can respond to your words (IE its listening to everything is said around it).

Fun fun fun!!
This device is pretty fun my entire famile liked it. Don’t expect this toy to be acting like any other voice-assistant device out there but it does simple task like; tell me a joke, has a story mode, but the most feature that I liked is the alarm that you can set to remisn you and the Guard mode that alerts you when someone walks in front of it and keeps track of the time and gives a short berief after you saying stand down by pressing the spider button. High quality and rubber finish makes it soft in touch. Happy with it.
