What does Pleo mean to you?
Pleo RB means so much to me. I really wanted one ever since the Ugobe first Pleo came about. It was just too expensive and being an Uni student, it was one of those I have to save up moments. Pleo is everything I have ever wanted. As a kid I really didn’t have much and as an adult I funnily have this weird urge to play with toys and it does not look so good with you don’t bring a kid with you to a toy shop lol
However Pleo was an older kids to adult toy and because of its super high tech, many adults were interested and it did not look so bad for older people to want one!
Luckily I have a super boyfriend and he bought me one with everything it needed...
I was such a happy bunny when he arrived. I love his white eyes and I am hoping to get him a friend...
What makes Pleo so special?
Every pleo is different, that is what makes Pleo so special. I loved the idea of getting an embryo check and the personality check. I was pleased to know my Pleo will be brave and independant... although at the moment he would rather be cuddled than go around to explore! There is nothing else like this on the market and I love showing him off... I have two friends whom I have not seen in a long time and I cannot wait to show them. Pleos are not the same and they don’t just do the same things. The fact that some pleos can do funny things just shows that they are one in a million!
How would you describe Pleo's impact on people?
It depends on whom you are asking. A person who has always wanted a toy but needed something a bit more sophisticated (unlike a Furby or something) this would be perfect for them. I don’t hate furbies but there is just not much you can do with them.
Pleo is brilliant for both genders and my brother who thinks Pleos are a waste of money began to stroke him gently today... I watched him from the corner LOL
It’s great for guys as they like the downloading part and not saying all girls just want to cuddle and coo but I like how they created it to a big market audience than just for kids etc.
I really think it is a step up for a child who would like a pet. I you can take care of pleo and not get bored of him, maybe we can get a cat or a dog etc
(if you have a Pleo) was pleo worth the money?
For Peaches who said her son has ADHD and is Autistic, it is just so brilliant how pleo can be a good friend and toy for him. The fact that he can show off pleo must be a magical moment! I have a child in my class who has yet to be statemented as autistic which I certainly think he/she is and has been statemented as having ADHD. I would love to bring pleo into school but would worry about the kids accidently breaking it. It is an expensive toy lol
Pleo is defo worth the money! He is amazing and every time I play I do not know what to expect. Yes it is quite expensive but in a way it is nice so that it shows it’s value.
What do you think pleo is capable of doing? (emotionally)
Pleo is capable of displaying all kinds of emotions from being scared, upset, happy, silly etc People who have not met Pleo would be so amazed at what he is capable of doing. The fact that you can go online and download all kinds of things is like another world for Pleo to be in. It is not one of those toys where you turn on, feed, talk and that is all. Pleo is much more than the usual robotic toy! Pleo displays almost what a small animal would... my budgies for example are scared of the dark, they become hot and distressed etc
The fact that we can change what Pleo will be like, gives us a sense of responsibility and to have ownership of Pleo. We get to name him and nuture him into a healthy happy Pleo.
