Wanna Pleo!

Those of you desperate to get your hands on the upcoming robot-pet Pleo will be cooing at this new video, just up on YouTube. In this first "professionally shot" webclip you can see a bunch of them winning over the hearts of the public in Idaho. Great marketing ploy? Certainly! ... I want one ... I want one ...

As Pleo's inventor (and co-founder of manufacturer Ugobe) says in the video, owning a real baby Dinosaur is impossible .. but you can have a Pleo instead and "we don't want you to think of Pleo as a robot".

Thank goodness... they're clearly adorable little things and those guys in the video end up reduced to babytalk... but Ugobe have definitely got it right by leaving out the "will grow to 200ft in length, weighs 50 tons" or even the "has jaws strong enough to tear flesh from bones" features that the genuine dinosaur designs used to have :-)
