anyhow, in the midst of my search for malfunctioning talking toys i stumbled across teddy ruxpin. i felt at once like i had been reunited with a long-lost friend. all my memories of this wonderful bear involve my childhood pal emily. apparently teddy is making a comeback, which you can view on his own personal website. and he too has gone digital. who knew?
mom, does this take you straight back to the tollgate house and my tall red bookshelf?
from my research i have concluded that children's ears were much safer back when the talking doll could only say what the cassette tape in its back permitted. anyone else remember teddy ruxpin and all his story-telling magic? brandon doesn't recall him at all!

It totally remember him! It turned out one of my classmates in high school was the son of Teddy's inventor! They had a color-changing fountain in the driveway to their mansion.
if i too was the inventor of the ruxbin i would make a color-changing fountain priority #1.
glad you remember him also.
My little sister had a Teddy Ruxpin, and I had a Cricket. I remember the Christmas morning I got her. That was the first year I cried over a present. Happy tears, I mean.
Now I find them kinda creepy.
Did you sell Teddy on Craigslist? Do you miss him? I miss you! Love, Mom
