I chose this version of Wall-E for my four-and-a half year-old grandchild because it allows the child to provide some action-- towards opening and closing the box, and because it serves as a nice decoration in the room. I am very pleased with the purchase because both objectives were met.

Unlike the other review listed here I and my two year old daughter find this toy very easy to transform. Every time she presses the button to release one of the hidden portions her eyes light up and she laughs. I am a collector of toys myself and I found that this is one of the better Disney toys I've ever seen in my life. Highly recommended!

Of all the different versions of Wall-e, I tried to convince my 6-year-old son to get one of the small action figures because he could get more characters for his Wall-E budget, but he wanted one of the big ones. And even though he saw that there was a choice between this one, the RC version and the one that interacts, as soon as he saw that this one transformed into a box he HAD to have it. Since it was the least expensive I thew in the clean-up M-O toy, too, so Wall-E would have a pal. It's been a few weeks now and Wall-E hasn't left my son's side, not even at bedtime. He talks to him, he acts out scenes from the movie (we bought the soundtrack, too, which helps with that), and he CONSTANTLY opens and closes him. So I know the toy is rugged because it's gone through some serious play tests! My son doesn't mind that there aren't bells, whistles, beeps -- or even that the treads aren't as big as they are on the "real" Wall-E. And I like that, too -- he gets to use his imagination instead of the toy doing everything for him.
It's eyes can wiggle a bit for different expressions, his "head" turns around, his arms move open and up and down and there are wheels on the bottom of the treads (the treads don't really turn. The front panel opens to reveal a picture of crushed garbage and other than that it has non-moving parts that are reminiscent of the "real" Wall-E (like the play/record/stop buttons, even though they don't move). So it's a great representation of the movie character. We purchased it for about $20 retail and it was worth every penny.

Got it for my 4 year old right after we saw the movie and while he loved it initially it has some disappointing features. First off, you open the trash compartment and its just a sticker of some trash. And second, its really hard to transform. In theory its really easy - just push down the head, squeeze in the arms and push in the rollers... and it has a clever spring action that pops back open when you push the buttons. BUT the head was way to hard for my son to push it in himself. He could squeeze the eyes to fit in but he kept pushing down on it and it just wouldn't stay in. He even tried stepping on it and even sitting on it and it just wouldn't stay in. I have to admit it was really hard to get the head to stay in. Overall - rather disappointed with it. Like the stack and cube one WAY better!
