Will This Little Robot Be The Hot Toy At Christmas?

OK,  I know it is only April 6th, but think about it,  Christmas commercials will start flooding the airwaves in less than 90 days.  Kids are going to want this and that and the other. 

Who needs an iPad 2 when you can have a rockin’ robot? This seems to be the mindset of Wow! Stuff, a toy production company whose employees became entranced by a YouTube video of a dancing robot.

He may not have hands to fist pump like The Situation, but the bobbing bot can certainly do "the robot." Wow! Stuff believes the toy, which was engineered by scientists to assist therapists with improving the social development of autistic children, will be on everyone’s Christmas list come winter 2011.

As soon as Managing Director Richard North saw the jiving robot, he expressed confidence in the potential.

Wow! Stuff is collaborating with the robot’s design company, BeatBots, to come up with My Keepon, which will be a toy version of the current product.

Would you want one?  Remember the odd toys from the past?  Did you ever get one?
