No product brought more strife to our review process than this ani-
matronic Elvis—yet, in the end, no other product so brought our staff
together. After some initial reticence, the Maximum PC editors gath-
ered around to listen and sing along with the King (dressed in his ’
Comeback Special leather jacket). He’s sure to get a whole lot of shakin’
going on at your next holiday party. $350, http://www.wowwee.comPRICKIE BUTTONS

robots. And for the geeks? Get your videogame buttons here!
