As the only toy robot aimed at girls, Sakura ($69.99) has her niche cornered; but the significantly lower age range to which she's being marketed -- 3 and up -- means Sakura's bells and whistles don't extend to complex movement and remote-control functions. She dances and figure skates atop a rolling platform, but that's about it. Still, with a memory chip that lets her tell jokes, offer fashion tips, give compliments ("That outfit rocks!") and tell fortunes, and a clever function that allows her to record your secrets for posterity (you release them only with the included key), Sakura is a far more pleasant companion than Roboraptor.
