You mean you haven't heard? WowWee has secretly been taken over by a race of alien feline robots, their plan is to take over the world, one household at a time.
Pity the pictures aren't bigger.
In both of the photos, there are these two white robot looking things in the corner and behind a chair. Someone want to guess what they are? It looks like another humanoid they are working on.

That's what we've been saying now for a long time [WORLD DOMINATION] is near.
People yearn after this robotic dream, but you can't strip your life of all meaning, emotion and feeling and expect to function.

It no laughing matter, your surrounded by a bunch of people suffering from paranoid delusions, never a good thing.
The heads definately appear to have feline aspects. I think they might be models rather than actual robots (though I assume if they are making models, somewhere an actual robot exists).

Too right it does.

The little buggar reminds me of the genetically engineered, ultra-powerful pokemon, MewTwo, from "Pokemon, The First Movie".
My currently teen aged children were the primary audience for that particular media event.

Felines?... Huh?? It looks all human to me. You guys must have some serious micron resolution screens with some expensive zoom software. Or 20/00 vision. I doubt they would make human robots with animal like characteristics. Think of all the baggage they would have to endure if they made robotic furries...
Since robots will one day populate every aspect of your life, its a good idea to make friends with all of them. Otherwise your shower bot might decide to play around with the water temperature while you are showering...

Could probably be prototypes of some robot their thinking of creating. Be funny if one day we see one of the above prototypes in an "evolution of" article, and our theories are not even close to what the actual product is.

I still say it looks like MewTwo.

I think those were shown on purpose as a sort of a teaser. Both photos has them clearly visible to the point where you can't miss em. They could have cropped the image or moved them, but they didn't. Also notice the one on the right photo looks like a cardboard cut-out while the ones in the left photo look like they are actual test models. I think the left image has a headless upper body in that lit projection window.

A teaser? perhaps, although I also notice a segway in the background. Apparently that partnership has ceased, don't see any p-bots around anymore.
I doubt that's it's Mewtoo, Pokemon is owned by the Japanese and licensed characters are notoriously difficult to do outside of the parent company.
A robotic furry is an fun idea but the target market is yet to hit a critical mass. On a related note it should be interesting to see how Elvis pans out to graceland fans.

I really think it supposed to be a humanoid. Look at the joint locations. Looks like it has shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. But this is all just speculation.

Wasn't WowWee in developement of a much larger robot of similar look a couple years back only to put it off on the side? I would assume because not many people could afford such a monsterous price tag associated with such a toy. Or find too many company with enough shelf space to put one on:)

He's probably thinking of the apparent 5-foot prototpe V3, who's existance has been mentioned a few times, but never actually seen.
