The Mr. Clock Radio Talking Robotic Clock Radio from Geewiz Entertainment really caught my attention. He has a robotic head that is animated and almost life-like. Although it is essentially a clock radio, it is the type of gadget gift that easily steals the limelight at a party.

This robotic clock adds personality to your morning alarm. He can be set to wake you up with 30 different verbal alarms. 15 are called aggressive, while the other 15 are nice and passive, so if you like to be woken up gently with a nice soothing voice, he can handle it. But if you need a jolt from a drill Sargent yelling in your ear to get you going, it is also covered. You choose the way that you like to wake up in the morning and Mr. Clock radio does the rest. He can be friendly or annoying. The choice is yours.

You won’t believe how animated this lively guy is until you see him in action. The head swivels and tilts, the eyes move and blink and the jaw moves–all in perfect unison with the voice. Mr. Clock Radio makes makes you think that he has come alive. This guy is so cool that I wanted to give him a name as soon as I saw him in action.

Check out some of the other features.

There is a built-in Fortune Teller mode, which is similar to the old Magic 8 Ball concept. Just ask him a question, press the Snooze button and he will give you his best advice. This feature alone is enough to make Mr Clock radio a hit at any party.

In Demo mode, Mr. Clock radio shows you some of his personality.

In Awake mode, a motion detector wakes him up when someone enters the room. He will then stay awake and interact with you for up to five minutes.

He can be set to announce the time every hour, on the half-hour or on the quarter-hour, or he will tell you the current time at the press of a button.

There is a Snooze button, but be warned that you will be scolded if you hit it too many times.

In addition to the built-in AM/FM radio, you can plug in an MP3 player and listen to your favorite tunes.

Powered by an AC/DC power supply (included). There is also a back-up feature that requires 2 AAA batteries (batteries not included).

This is one of those products that is likely to become a collector’s item. It’s a great gadget gift for kids, adults or anyone who appreciates a really innovative robotic radio.

The audio is not very good on the following video demonstration, but it does show how animated he is. Mr. Clock Radio sounds much better than this when you get to meet him.
