Awards-archives

WowWee continues to forge new categories in personal robotics and entertainment with award-winning products that are imaginative, inventive, and safe.

In 2007, WowWee's FlyTech Dragonfly, the world's first radio-controlled flying insect to use flapping wings, was named one of TIME Magazine's "Best Inventions of the Year." FlyTech Bladestar™, new in 2008 and the first flying toy with sensor-based navigation, was named one of only 20 products awarded with an "Editor's Choice Award 2008" by Popular Mechanics magazine as a technologically advanced innovation. Subsequently, the WowWee Alive Cubs, life-like, plush, animatronic baby animals, and the RS Tri-bot robot have received numerous accolades, including the iParenting Media 2008 Outstanding Products Award, The National Parenting Center's 2008 Seal of Approval, and the Creative Child Magazine's 2008 Toy of the Year Award. Award-winning legacy products include: Roboraptor™, Roboreptile™, Robopanda™, and Roboquad™.
