WowWee Ltd. is a privately held, Hong Kong-based company that was founded in 1988.

Initially it was a manufacturer of inexpensive but exotic radio-controlled vehicles for the mass market.

Their breakthrough came in 2004 with the release of the Robosapien which was developed by physicist/roboticist, Mark Tilden. With this toy they have achieved an outstanding success of their first consumer robot, the WowWee Robosapien, which sold over 2 million units in under two years.

Operating under the motto, "Anything else is just a toy", WowWee takes its inspiration from the worlds of aerospace, the military, extreme sports and even cutting-edge science.

WowWee also scored with its Animaltronics and Dinotronics lines of microprocessor-driven moving animal and dinosaur figurines. In addition, it broke new ground and sales records with its remote-controlled cars, Blastmaster water weapons and Air Surfer remote-controlled model aircraft.

It includes audio, visual, and touch sensitivity, so it will hear and see you. The touch sensor on its back allows it to respond to human interaction by performing a short animation. The sharp sonic sensors enables it to detect sharp loud sounds which it will run towards. Its vision sensors (infra-red) enable it to detect movement and avoid obstacles. It has to accentuate its personality: ferocious, aggressive, passive.

What is with these dinosaurs that attracts humans so much? Is it their power and the fear of them? If yes then Tyrannosaurus Rex should be the most popular dinosaur of all. It looks like people at Wow Wee International thought the same and they created the Roboraptor. It moves like the T. Rex, it roars like T. Rex and it bites like T. Rex but is not T. Rex.
