I wanted teddy soo bad when I was a kid. This was one of the toys i didn't get. I'm kind of glad now that I didn't because he would have scared the hell out of me.
When I was young I wanted Teddy Ruxpin sooooo much. But my mother would always say no hes to expensive. Then one day I went shopping with my grandma asnd I had the biggest tantrum (I still remember having it), so my grandma got it for me.
This bear was, and still is, one of the creepiest toys ever invented.
I had Teddy Ruxpin and my sister had Grubby. We used to love playing with them and listening to the stories. He only scared me after I broke his lower jaw off. It was a bit traumatic at that age.
My grandmother nearly got into a physical altercation with another woman buying this the Christmas he came out. He was the last one on the shelf and she was determined to get him. Loved him, maybe because he was a bit creepy.
My cousin put a rap tape in him once...funniest thing i have ever seen!
I had both Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby, and loved them .... but when the lights when out at night there was something about them that creeped me out. I had more than one nightmare about Teddy.
i really think that this toy is bad! everyone thinks its abit on the creepy side. my brother did do a good impression of grubby thou.
I had a Teddy Ruxpin, it was loads funier when you put a different tape in him though and he used to freak me out when the batteries started to run out...
This toy was SOOOOO creepy!! I never ever wanted one!!
I never had him, but I remember the commercials. I am not sure if I ever wanted him or not. I had a talking 'Julie' doll so I may have just been happy with that.
I had a Teddy Ruxpin. I didn't get a Grubby. My best friend had a Grubby and a Teddy Ruxpin. My imagination was so vivid back then that I imagined myself with Teddy Ruxpin in his world. I can't remember the name of that fairy, but I would imagine myself flying into the sun with her.
There was something slightly creepy when the batteries ran low. I'd just close his eyes and stick him in the closet at night. I'm sure that he's the reason I'm such an avid reader now, though!
teddy is gettin slammed. I didn't think he was creepy I loved him. Grubby was my fav. However only my friends had him so he didn't scare me maybe thats why
I loved Teddy!!!
In 1985
He the first animated talking toy.
He tell storys.
He sing songs.
He an Illiop.
I loved my teddy ruxpin, then my dog got loose in the house while i was at school one day and mauled his nose off :( I was very excited when i found out they are going to be coming out with a new version of him! I would love to get it for my daughter!
I loved Teddy Ruxpin. I got one for christmas when i was 4 or 5! I'm gonna get another someday. ^__^ I just loved me Teddy Ruxpin.
Teddy Ruxpin was kinda creepy. I remember really wanting one and my parents wouldn't buy it for me cuz it was kinda pricey. Probably a good thing.
I got the new Teddy Ruxpin made by Back Pack Toys.
These are AMAZING!!!
So I JUST recently got rid of mine because his tape insides were all moldy or something....might have been from old batteries, not sure, but I remember I used to play his tapes & listen to him & then fall asleep! lol I wish I had kept him for memories sake!
well iknow how to spell his name right now had an argument with my gf i thought it was teddy rockspin and she thought it was teddy rubskin
Teddy Ruxpin was such a cool toy. You can buy him on ebay and Target.com if you want to. I remember getting one for Christmas and just loving it. I would take it to the restaurant with me for Christmas breakfast and years later it probably broke or something because I don't have it anymore.
you guys that say this toy is creepy are so immature this toy was and still is an awsome toy i had one when i was little!
I have teddy ruxpin and grubby, you hook them together and they sing and the mouths move, i carted them with me everywhere even though they are heavy and not very portable, i have them in the original boxes, im not sure if they still work though,i think that i fried them once when i tryed to put the cord in when teddy was turned on LOL
He was a must have. I love this bear. I still have it to this day. I know that it does not work, but I like when you can put the tape inside of him and he would read to you.
I never got any of the toys, I wanted the flying ship thingy...still do, but I loved the cartoon. After over 20 years I still know the song of by heart...makes me wonder where all the math in my brain should be...
I went to a flea market a few years ago and saw a Teddy Ruxpin selling for $25. I decided not to buy it because it was kind of pricey. maybe if it was 0nly $10, no problem.
I loved Teddy Ruxpin! I had a whole bedset too (which is still in my parents linen closet). I played with him until I broke his lower jaw off, but he still sits on the toy shelf in the basement, broken mouth and all.
Ya know I got a teddy roxpin when I was a kid I didnt even know what it was but it was my fave toy and I still have him too and a few of the suits that you could get for him.. Bry
I love my Teddy Ruxpin. I'm 31, and I put him on top of my television. Whenever I listen to a book on tape, I listen to it trough good ol' Teddy; it's awesome. Like "Understanding Islam", "Einstein's Bridge"; Most recently I listened to "Guns, Germs, & Steel." It's swell!
I loved my Teddy Ruxpin. Never thought he was creepy at all. thought he was pritty cool. I remember being really pissed when he broke.
I had Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby-They were my Christmas, Birthday, Valentines, and Easter gifts all combined!! LOL - Still got them, but I remember the dog chewed their connection cord!! Does anyone have one hanging around to sell for a "decent price"??? If so, would you email me at janetmcd@maine.rr.com Make the Subject title-Teddy Ruxpin Cord?! Thanks
I woke up Christmas morning and woke up my parents, we proceeded down the stairs and I opened my first Teddy Ruxpin. I proceeded to cry for three hours becuse they didn't supply me with the proper accesories. I broke my Teddy Ruxpin and put him in the trash compactor. Afterwhich, I bought a sandwich, it was swell!
I loved Teddy Ruxpin!
I always wanted one but I never got one.
What a classic 1980s toy!!
I liked this toy but i never owned one, if i found one today id put a cassette adaptor in him and hook him to my iPod and play some 50 cent music and watch teddy ruxpin rap to 50 cent haha
My younger cousin had one and I would put in my N.W.A. straight outta Compton cassette. You haven't lived until you've seen Teddy sing F' the police.
My parents bought me teddy for Christmas when I was 5. He was freakin cool. I always wanted his caterpiller friend too. One day my brother and I were rough housing and I stepped on teddy's face and broke his mouth off RIP.
I wore my Teddy into the ground. I had all the tapes and the books that went with them. While I never found him that creepy, he did get weird when the batteries started to die...Sounded like he was possesed.
