Pleo, the green robot dinosaur toy, may not go extinct after all. Robot Rules reports that a company named Jetta Company Limited purchased Pleo's assets from Ugobe and plan to relaunch Pleo and continue the Pleo line. Ugobe had filed Chapter 7 in April and it looked like all was lost but now there is hope Pleo will return.
Today there is wonderful news for the Pleo community. Jetta Company Limited, the company that manufactured the Pleo baby robot dinosaur for Ugobe, bought the intellectual property rights and other assets at the Ugobe bankruptcy sale that occurred on May 21. I spoke with Steve Ohler today, the United States liaison for the company, and he confirmed the news. He said the company is firmly committed to re-launching Pleo and continuing the line including accessories such as the vital battery and charger components.
