So, my son is four, Autistic, and he loves Wall-e. It is an awesome flick. Sad they didn't market it like they did Cars. He's pretty obsessed with that darn robot.
We were cleaning out a box of misc toys and came across the head of a wind-up Wall-e that he broke two years ago. He is now going through all of his toys looking for the "body" saying "Wall-e. Wall-e...." It's breaking my heart. He doesn't have many words, and that was one of his first.
I've looked on Amazon and Ebay. I haven't been able to find a replacement. Anyone seen one and can point me in the right direction?
**** The toy was a gift from my Mom. It came with a little track and you could wind up Wall-e and he would move around the track. I have no idea where she got it and it was quite a while ago. I am looking to replace the entire toy. Though I must say a different part of my heart aches at the thought of paying more than $50 to do so. :-/
Yep! That's it! I don't know why it didn't show up in my search. (Maybe I have some weird filter settings.) Thank you! We'll probably be ordering one soon and just hoping his sisters don't behead the poor little guy.
Many thanks!
This is the only thing I came across. http://www.amazon.com/Wall-E-Wind-up-Track-Playset/dp/B00...
I often thought, wouldn't marketing Wall-E like crazy... pretty much be the opposite of the movie's message? Anyways, my kids loved it too, and we had two Wall-E toys... both of them became headless.
Would your son accept a different Wall-E toy? There are tons out there.

Are you looking for a "replacement" part?
Or a replacement for the whole toy, ie: getting a whole other toy?
There are so many different Wall-e toys.
There is no way to tell, which one you have or what brand... because I don't think the head part, would have the toy brand on it?
Was it possibly a McDonald's toy? They have had those Wall-e toys too.
Do you know, where your son originally got that toy????
Maybe... just get your son, another Wall-e toy??? It not having to be the same exact one.
He may be happy just having a Wall-e toy?
My son loved Wall-e too when he was younger.
He even had a Wall-e t-shirt.
try etsy.com
I am not sure what toy you are referring to, but etsy does have some options.
Awwwwww....
Did you try ToyWiz?

That would have broken my heart too. I'm glad someone pointed you in the right direction. We actually just watched Wall-E last night.
oh i do remember wall-e stage. one of my daughters age 4 at the time loved wall-e. i spent so much on wall-e toys, and eve too because she loved eve too. i'm glad you found the toy.
My suggestion - buy two or three and keep the extras hidden.
Amazon.com has some choices - some a little expensive. I like the multi-piece diorama set. What did we do before the internet? Good luck!
You've gotten some great suggestions! As a back up in case the toys are discontinued and you can't get them, maybe a bed set would make him feel better. We got a Wall-E twin bed set not to long ago at Walmart and I think Amazon.com has some as well.
