Bigfoot comes in a big toy box that says he has more than 80 actions and phrases. We didn't count, but it appears he is loaded with lots of tricks. He has icon buttons that make him roar with anger, walk, sleep, laugh, tumble, play ball, exercise, burp (he says excuse me), say hello, pound his fists, and when you can take no more - mercifully, he even has a sleep button! All of these actions and more are controlled with a bigfoot shaped remote controller. Although Bigfoot is the one who does the actions, this is not exactly a sit and watch kind of toy. Kids are actively in control and have to "read" the icons if they want absolute control. So is it educational? Not exactly. Most kids will probably just enjoy the random action of pushing buttons and making Bigfoot go through his paces. It's not what we'd call a must have kind of toy, but it is a big novelty gift that will produce laughter and jolly short term memories. It comes with a rechargeable battery. 3-8
