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.

I had an Orginal 1980's teddy ruxpin when i was a kid. I wish i still did today becuase he is a collector's item. I had two of them but i broke them i had put a safety pin down the bears's mouth and the other i don't remember how i broke it. I always wanted to find out how teddy talked.

Teddy Ruxpin was the big reason I am such an avid reader now. My daughter has one and we spend time just sitting and listening. Maybe all those people should quit watching movies like Chucky and just enjoy a kids toy.

I'm still mad that my mom never got me a teddy ruxpin! Every year for my birthday and Christmas I would beg her for a Teddy Ruxpin and I always got my hopes up the night before. Then I would wake up in the morning and be disappointed. You all should be appreciative your parents got you such a fancy toy like Teddy Ruxpin. How much did they cost back then anyway? Like when they first came out?

i had one but he broke within a week so my grandmother went and got me a new one but i hear there to expensive from my mom too i wonder how much they were

I wanted a teddy ruxpin. However my mother could not afford him so I got instead for x-mas a Knock off talking bear which would of more than likely been purchased at wal-mart or K-mart back then. I just cannot remember the name?? It was ______ Bear i believe. Any help? If you remember the teddy ruxpins knock off version name please email it to me at bryha@aol.com

I LOVED (and still love) my Teddy Ruxpin!! I remember getting one for my birthday the year they first came out...that was the ONLY thing I wanted that year!! I was so stoked when I opened that box!! I took him with me everywhere!! I still have the little guy and he still works even though his clothes are a bit worse for wear...my Talking Mother Goose faired much better!! "Hello. I'm Teddy Ruxpin. Can you and I be friends? I really enjoy talking to people..." LOVED IT!!! Although the buzzing noise that accompanied the movements on both toys was a bit annoying!! Still a sweet concept for a toy!

I wanted a Teddy Ruxpin (and Grubby) so badly. I ended up getting a sort of rip off of Teddy, Gabby Bear. I enjoyed him enough (I still have him), but I remember feeling cheapened that it wasn't Teddy :(

Teddy Ruxpin, was by far the SCARIEST toy I've ever owned my entire childhood. He had red eyes!! Not the greatest thing for a talking toy to have. This was one of the toys I never wanted but ended up getting for my birthday. I remember using him, maybe twice, and then throwing him into the back of my closet. =P

Oh yes, he was soooo scary!!! I still remember being terrified of him one night. My parents couldn't get me to calm down even by putting him in the closet or somewhere because I thought he would get mad and get me! They then took him over to my Grandma's house who lived right behind us and I remember staying up all night worried that he was going to hurt her!

had it but never used it. He bothered me for some reason.

i had one too as a kid.Loved him and the story. Red eyes? no last time i looked they were brown. dont understand what is so creepy about a small furry teddy bear with a gentle disposition, and friendly voice.......I loved the Lullaby book the best. His singing to me was so soothing it put me to sleep every night. Some of you apparently never had older siblings that would watch movies like Freddie and Jason and Chucky- now for a 4 year old in the 80s THAT was scary.

I LOVED my Teddy Ruxpin! i got him for Christmas when I was 6.

I wanted one of these but then my friend had one and I realized it wasn't so cool. By then, I was reading on my own so I am glad my parents didn't blow the money on it. It was expensive but it was cool for a little kid to watch the bear read.

My friend had a teddy ruxpin and her dog ate all the fur off it. All we saw was this bunch of gears and plastic flapping around. Scared the crap out of me. Even now I hate dolls that talk. Chuckie didn't help much either...

teddy ruxbin and grubby were my favorite toys. I loved that boat in the story book. The one that could fly.

I had read online recently that Teddy Ruxpin is making a come back! No cassette tape anymore though!

i had one of these in second grade. i remember i took it to school for show and tell. on the bus ride home, an older boy took it from me and broke his mouth off. i was devastated for months :(

I was freaked out by a lot of toys e.g. porcelain dolls and that large chuckie like doll called Jessica but I loved teddy ruxpin, I'm 24 and I still have him on my shelf. It's got to the point now where I just can't get rid of him

I loved this toy. I never thought he was creepy. I loved all his story books and tapes.

I'll always remember making fun of my older brother for wanting one of these when he was a teenager.

Teddy Ruxpin was awesome I loved listening to his stories every night before I went to sleep I also had his friend grubby.

Aw! I had a Teddy Ruxpin! I remember once my cousins put a M C Hammer tape in him! =D But I thought I was the only one who got creeped out by him...especially when the batteries were low & he'd be starring at you with those wild eyes! LMAO!

My grandmother bought me a Teddy Ruxpin when I was 3. I loved listening to the stories and looking at the books. My favorite song was the "Your Friend" song. I remember putting a rap tape in him and pressing the play button. I died laughing when he began rapping with his mouth and eyes going bezerk!!

i loved my teddy ruxpin when i was 6 i just decided and gave him to a preschool

i always wanted a teddy ruxpin but i never got one either. I got over wanting one when my friend's teddy decided he was going to tell us a story on his own one night, and i had just seen child's play so toys were already kind of freaking me out.

I had a Teddy Ruxpin. I loved him, he was the greatest. They actually had brought him back recently,,

I remember those. I always thought they were kind of creepy. His eyes were just too scarey.Reminds me of chucky in the form of a bear!

I fed my brother's TR some baby food, because (at the time) I though he looked hungry. The crud dried and broke his jaw off...I think I am still tramatized by his freakish jawless stories and music.

i loved mine so much...but i was outside on a blanket playing with him and the mean neighbor boy came over and dumped a bucket of water on me and my teddy ruxpin...ugh he died that day...im still in mourning..

My younger sibs had a Teddy Ruxpin. Once we removed the furry cover off its face and played its tape as usual. Terrifying.

He bothered me.

While I think AG Bear was the better talking bear, I still think Teddy Ruxpin is one of the best toys of the 80s. And I don't get why so many people think of him as creepy. If an innocent talking bear scared you, then you must have had problems. I hated talking dolls, but I was fascinated by Teddy and I wasn't the bravest kid. I begged for one but never got one. Too expensive.

I had a Teddy Ruxpin when I was little, then I sold himat a yeard sale when I was a teenager. I have regretted it ever since. I have 2 small children of my own now, and saw a Teddy Ruxpin DVD in the store, so of course I bought it (it reminded me of my childhood) and to my surprise...my kids like it too. As fate would have it I was a t the "free exchange" a few weekd ago and found the origional Teddy Ruxpin and a Grubby. I brought them home, and they dont work but I think I might still keep them (or at least the Teddy!)

I had one and I loved him, I listened to him every night, one night when mom and dad were out the babysitter wasnt paying enought attention and I decided to feed him peanute butter... my dad had a lot of taking apart and putting back together when he got home to get him working again!!

I wanted a Teddy Ruxpin soooooo badly, but he cost so much my dad said there was no way I could get one. I told him, "Don't worry, Santa will bring it!" When I woke up that Christmas morning and there was no Teddy Ruxpin, I was absolutely heartbroken. I tried not to let it show, but I know they knew how upset I was. I'm still about to cry thinking about that Christmas when Santa didn't come through. :(

I loved them I had Teddy and Grubby..now that I am seeing all the toys on this site and saying I had that..oh that too..I think I was a little spoiled lol. Get this my parents gave my teddy and grubby away.. totally mad. So I went into Goodwill one day and saw Grubby and was like I had one of these..turned him over and on his foot was my FREAKIN NAME! I had to buy back my Grubby..no Teddy tho..
