Luciana is thrilled to discover that her Space Camp team has its own mascot! This robotic dog features light-up eyes, makes more than 20 sounds, and has a posable body, a magnetic mouth that holds a toy wrench, and rolling wheels for feet. It can even wag its tail!
Hello Orion! Luciana's robotic dog is a departure in previous GOTY pets- mostly notably in a price increase to $35. Orion is made of an overall durable plastic featuring light up eyes and a button on top of his head. This button is supposed to replicate the 'sensor' Orion has in the books. Orion is posable like the TM pets and the wheels on the bottoms of his paws allow you to actually roll him around. He does not roll or move on his own, but his ears do wag when the button is pressed along with eyes that illuminate in purple, orange, and blue accompanied by 20 different dog noises. His tail is waggable as well but this is not a feature like the ears. You just wag it using your own finger. Included is a toy wrench that he can hold with the magnet in his mouth.
At first I was skeptical that the $35 price tag would be worth it. In the end I think it is. This dog has a ton of playability and make numerous appearances in Luciana's first book. Overall Orion gets a grade of A- from me with points docked for the tail wag being played up as a bigger feature than it actually is.
