RARE! WowWee Robosapien RS Media – BRAND NEW, Factory Sealed, Original Box

* Item Description

COLLECTOR'S DREAM!

Step into a time capsule of robotic innovation with this very RARE and highly collectible WowWee Robosapien RS Media. This unit is 100% new, factory sealed, and still in its original shipping box – this exceptionally item is one of the most advanced toy robots ever created. This particular RS Media was shipped to me as a personal gift directly from the Hong Kong by its robot genius designer Mark Tilden. I've kept it well stored in pristine condition in its original shipping box now for over 19 years. I doubt if there is another brand new RS Media this well-preserved available anywhere.

Item Highlights:

• Authentic 2006 release – original WowWee model

• Never opened, never displayed – TRUE collector's condition

• Includes all factory materials, untouched and perfectly preserved

• Ideal for display or archival

Collector Appeal:
The RS Media stands apart with its customizable personality, full-color screen, and multimedia capabilities. As sealed examples become increasingly scarce, this is a rare opportunity to own the ultimate edition. Very hard to find. Whether you're a robotics enthusiast or a serious collector, this piece belongs in your collection.

The WowWee Robosapien RS Media is known and treasured as being highly hackable, and in fact, it gained a cult following partly because of how mod-friendly it is.

🔧 Why It’s Hackable:

• Linux-Based OS: The RS Media runs a Linux operating system, which opens the door to deep customization, from UI modifications to behavioral changes.

• USB and SD Card Support: These allow direct access to its file system and make it easier to load custom applications, audio, and video files.

• Open Community Projects: A dedicated community of tinkerers and developers have created tools, guides, and custom firmware for the RS Media.

• JTAG and Serial Access: Advanced users have tapped into the internal ports for debugging and custom hardware interfacing.

The RS Media model marked a significant evolution from the Robosapien V2, introducing advanced multimedia features such as a color LCD screen, MP3 and video playback, a built-in camera, and a Linux-based operating system.
