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.

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).

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.

This Sphero Spider-Man product is amazing and my 10-year-old son loves his spidey (that is what he calls him). The device is kinda of the concept of Alexa but it doesn't activate by voice command, you have to press the spider on Spidey's chest. Pressing the spider button activates the device. He tells many jokes and asks questions to know you. For playing, he features a story where he walks your through a spiderman crime scene and he requests the player's assistance. He can guard your room when someone enters and keeps track of the time and gives out an alert. The sound is incredible and the Light eyes change with Spidey's emotions and conversation. The first day he kept my son entertained for hours. Easy to set up with a smartphone app and you may set up an alarm to wake up your little ones in the morning. I love the features that come with its own charger and rechargeable batteries; no more using disposable batteries. I hope Sphero company can create a device for girls. To summarize, my son loves his new toy/friend.

This sphero spiderman looks great with its oversized head and expressive LCD screen eyes. The eyes are the best features of the toy and they can move, squint and also wink based on the conversation you are having. It also flashes in different colors when using spidersense. The toy with the stubby legs does not move and the arms are posable only. The rubbery texture is silicone like a rubbery basketball and feels pretty durable. The toy turns on and off by pressing the glowing spider logo on the chest and is the only physical button. It comes with a webbed charging base and a microusb cable. It works a couple of hours on a single charge when away from the base. The toy is controlled by an app and is required to setup. Once setup you do not need the app an can just use the button. The app however provides a plethora of activities to have fun with including cracking a joke and going on adventures. It can also be used as an alarm and in guard mode where it can register movement and asking intruders to go away providing a movement report at the end of the day. A very nice and fun toy from sphero.
