I had Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid. My mom bought me one. The tape that I had and the book was Teddy Ruxpin's Lullabies. I played that tape every night when I went to bed.

Is it just me, or does the latest model with the digital eyes look like he's been sniffing too much bathroom cleaner??

I- I have the newer version and this made me die of laughter 😂😂😂

I used to love my Teddy Ruxpin growing up. We still have him; my mom breaks him out every Christmas, puts him in his Santa Claus outfit (yes, she got him a bunch of his different outfits when we were little) and plays the Christmas story he had included. Thanks for the 'member-berries Ms. Legends. Keep up the great work. :)

Like I know right

I had Teddy Ruxpin and his pal grubby back in the day they were my best friends

What are the odds that you uploaded this now. I just found my Ruxpin a couple of days ago and the first thing I had to do that night was to fall asleep listening to the tapes like I did 30 years ago. It brought a tear to my eye listening to it. Nostalgia can hit you hard sometimes.

I love when you go in depth and do the history of the toys it's like biographics for toys and the companies.

One of my favorite childhood memories was going to a friend's house, popping a Richard Pryor comedy tape into Mr. Ruxpin, and enjoying the show. Good times.

I remembered that he can be scary when the batteries are running low

I worked in a dept store where we had a demo unit of these figures . We had a few that had cosmetic flaws that we were supposed to destroy,but we kept them in the back to play various cassette tape albums .We linked them up to each other and of the boys was able to rig up a plug adaptor. You haven't lived until you have heard/seen Alice cooper coming out of a teddy ruxpin/grubby duo.

What ,no Queen ?

I loved the Teddy Ruxpin I had when I was a child.

I bought both of these for my children in 1985. The first thing that went within the first year was Teddy Ruxpin's mouth movement, then the eyes. My children were very disappointed, although Grubby worked fine. When I reached out to the company for repairs on their product, I didn't receive an answer. No wonder the company went down hill soon after that. Grubby was no good after Teddy's tape player quit. A lot of money for a product that had a huge hype to it!

Fans: so Laura what do you like to collect? Laura: yes

I use to put Eazy E tapes in teddys back And have him rap "Boyz n' tha Hood"!

Hilarious. I found a Mother Goose the other day at a Goodwill for like $10.

Never had teddy ruxpin we had a 2XL robot that thing was awesome

Incredible toys

I had both !!! They were my favorite toys ever !!!! Ty for this video. It brought back so many memories!!❤

An older video, but saw it today and wanted to thank you for it. I was 9 years old when Teddy Ruxpin came out... and I remember to this day how excited I was when I got him for my birthday. And not long after I got Grubby. I also remember my mother getting mad because of all the batteries I used in them by playing them constantly. So you just managed to take me back 36 years. And I thank you for those memories. :)

Awesome video, was cool seeing Teddy and Grubby again...

I had an ALF version of Mr Ruxpin. This version of talking ALF had moving ears, eyes and a mouth and also worked off of cassette tapes. My friend came over one day after school and broke off poor poor ALF's ear, he Picassoed my dear ALF.

I was given Teddy Ruxpin as a kid and I loved it. Unfortunately my first one broke down so I got another one but I always wanted Grubby to go with him. He and his stories kept me entertained because as the youngest I was ignored and often read or played video games when I got older. He and MY PET MONSTER were my first friends and I still love them to this day.

I had Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid, I wish I still had mine

I had a talking ALF that worked the same way, loved him !

Dark sense of humour: I always called him Teddy Dustbin. (Love the Wonka Bar shirt, btw)

Awesome! You’re such a legend, Laura

Oh you're taking me back to my childhood with this one. I had Teddy ruxpin and grubby, as well as the all about bears book. When you were joking about rocking out, I was actually rocking out! I can't believe I remembered that song 🤣 this was a great look back, the only thing I would have added is the fact that that weird sound you hear every once in a while is a reminder to the children to turn the page in the book. :)

I never knew they made so many versions of Teddy Ruxpin! I've always wondered what would have happened if you put a heavy metal music tape in there? LOL Thanks for the review, sweet Laura! XXXOOO

I used to have Teddy Rocksbeen.. I even remember playing other cassettes with him besides the original stories.🐻💗 Never had Grubby though.

I had Ted. Only one tape for him. I think that was one of those 80s inventions ahead of its time.

I came across a few Teddies at my local thrift shop. They were in good shape, and working. My brother was in love with it as a kid, so I bought one for him. His eyes welled up. I sadly remember that shooting case. I gave did a report on it, for my social studies class. That case helped to lead to the legislation of mandating all toy guns having an orange tip.

I still have Teddy!! Great haul!

I loved my Teddy Ruxpin so much in 1986. I was 9. I’m 44 now. And I still love my Teddy Ruxpin.

Duuuuuuude Teddy Ruxpin!!! My mom got one for Christmas the year it came out, and then passed it down to us when we were old enough, and it became our favorite toy as well! And man you can’t beat the TV show

Thank you so much for helping me remember all these things! I never had a Teddy Ruxpin and or Grubby, but I may have had a My Pet Monster?

I found my 2019 teddy ruxpin my goodwill store, and I recently got an original W.O.W. teddy from my local flea market with the lullaby tape. A friend of mine that sells there has Grubby and is going to give him to me when I see him again.

The funniest thing we ever did with Teddy was to put in Michael Jackson's thriller his mouth moved perfectly and my little girl loved it she would dance and laugh and giggle and we have a great time

Cool video! I absolutely love Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby. I have both of them and they work perfectly! They make me so happy and I love listening to the songs and the stories.

I didn't have one of those "bears" growing up, but like you said I would image it would have made everyone's childhood alot better lol. Thank you, this video cheered me up! Have a great day!

My family the Teddy Ruxpin. It was fun, especially since you can use “any” cassette tape with it.

What a beautiful walk down memory lane absolutely love your Channel

Awww cute! I remember those! I had a Teddy!

I didn't know...great info! Impressive presentation ❗👍✌️

As a hardcore fan, you’ve made me squeal with joy! Bravo!! I’ve always loved Grubby’s voice in particular, soooo adorable! 🥰

I love your collection!!!

Wow! I remember Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby like it was yesterday... I never had one but they are nostalgia personified.

Laura! I used to have a Teddy Ruxpin when I was little! I had many of the tapes too. Lots of good memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! 💚

Lol great vid I had one of those growing up...ty for ur vids and keep it up we all love u!

I had Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby they were hands down my favorite toys as a child

You found gold with this, fixing Teddy is the easy part. Great find!

My cousin had a Teddy Ruxpin; and I used to play my Motley Crüe, AC/DC, and Ozzy tapes and make Teddy’s eyes and mouth moved. It was great!

Very cool! 😊 I had Teddy Ruxpin when I was little. Never had Grubby though, but I’ve seen a couple of him around some shops.

Omg. KZread wormhole night. Yes I did have Teddy! Loved him. Always put him back in the box when I was done playing. Now..I'm sad. I dont know eat happened to him. My brother got the talking Mikey a couple years later. I had no idea Teddy was that expensive.

Oh wow these bring back memories the 80s I did want one for Christmas but my parents couldn't afford it, these were the times things were more simple wholesome before everything became heartless with smart technology☹, great find Laura, always on the lookout for great gems✌

Haha. Singing "channel" to the tune of the Chia Pet song. That alone is worth a thumbs-up. The toy review was good too.

I think its time to go through the garage and find my Teddy Ruxpin...

I forgot all about Teddy to be honest, but I recall the ads more vividly now, thanks to your expose. Now all we need is for someone to do a heavy metal cover of those songs.

Teddy and Grubby could bring life to any party. This was an excellent review of a dynamic duo from memory lane.

My Sibling and I had an original Teddy Ruxbin :) I loved him and after being horrified by the latest version that looks like some impostor, my parents generously gifted me another 1985 Teddy Ruxbin that is in very good condition

*RuxPin

Damn taking me back to when I was an infant. I was only 1 in 1985. I never did have Teddy Ruxpin from what I can remember but I do remember him.

I have both of them on my shelf. I found them at a thrift store about 10 years ago. My original Teddy from my childhood got ruined.

It is fantastic to see someone on KZread who actually knows the history and background of their toys as opposed to someone that just has a nice toy chest

Hey! In my country Panamá) we did not have the interactive doll, but we did see the animated show. I should say that for the 80s, it had one of the most complex plot in the TV. Chapters were not self-conclusive and the core plot kept us tick to the screen. I claim for a Netflix's sequel.

You are hilarious 😂 I love it. Yeah these things were crazy expensive in the 80s, I chose Nintendo instead!

Hello Laura, it’s very interesting to discover the « true » Teddy Ruxpin since, well, in France, we most know the infamous bootleg version known as the Gabby Bear. From what I know, Gabby was a cheap and false Teddy Ruxpin (and a scary looking one) produced illegally in South Korea and sold internationally by Bandai. From what I know, the guys behind this lost in court against the Teddy Ruxpin producers (most of the Gabby Bear were then destroyed, but some copies can be found on eBay) The scandal was even more important in France, where a famous animated series producer tried to make French kids believe that the Gabby Bear was part of the Maple Town toy line. How ? He imported the Maple Town animated serie, cut the original opening, and then produced in haste a cheap one which included the infamous bootleg. The new opening was even supposed to be song by him : « Hello, I’m the Gabby Bear, you know, the Bear from Maple Town ! »

Wow even I know that was a great bargain :) I remember watching and enjoying the cartoon but sadly I don’t believe we had the those toys over here in the Uk but I knew about them and wanted them. Still On my wish list.

great video!

Hahaha great review, Teddy rocks! 🤘😎

I had ALL the Teddy Ruxpin stuff when I was a kid. I had Teddy, Grubby, a ton of books / tapes, and the projector along with assorted projector "circle" cards. Oddly enough, when I was a kid it was I who had Teddy Ruxpin and none of my friends had one. (Basically the reverse of "everyone else has one, but you don't") Of course, other kids had a bunch of other cool toys that I didn't have so ... my parents probably just made decisions on which lines of toys they were going to buy.

Omg i had a Grubby when i Was kid ! Im 22 yo now and i want to move from belgium to canada just to hug yours ! 😂The one i had was broken 😢Great video Laura ! You remid me my chillhood 🤩

Well can't say I had one or knew anybody with one but I watched the cartoon a lot, actually picked up a DVD of some episodes and waxed nostalgic. ;) Show held up better than I thought it would heh.

AWWW I still have my Ruxpin and Grubby , I have a cassette case with a good chunk of his stories but the actual books are gone :( and the answer box and picture show but dunno what happened to those 2, yet never knew the baby was a thing . also damn lol "It took me 30 minutes to find these sun glasses " also these seem to be the ones I have. .... you should say Grubby like that on future videos now just because lol

After 30+ years, I recently came across Teddy and Grubby in our basement. Teddy still works! I can't seem to find the connector cord, although I know it's down in our basement somewhere. I'm wondering if I can locate just the Teddy to Grubby connecting animation cord. Hmmm...?

That was Amazing video

Just love grubby he's awesome I want him ,great videos just subscribed to your channel your so cool💋

I had an original Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid! It was fun at the time! LOL

I brought my TR to college with me, and used him to play the lectures on cassette tape that we had to use. (The year was 1999)

My sister and I got Teddy Ruxpin for Christmas when it first came out. We also got Grubby and a purple Fob puppet and a bunch of the figures at some point.

Still have these guys.. They still work and I still love them 34 years later!

Yes Sir. Me too😊

I had a Teddy Ruxpin as a kid. Fun story: I loved the cartoon and live-action short film. My parents bought a Teddy Ruxpin and kept it in my crib. It terrified me as a toddler. The animatronics of the talking teddy scared me. One day my mom walked into the room to find me pulling a "King Kong vs T-Rex" ripping the toy's jaw wide open.

hi thankyou for an amazing video . good to see you living in the moment like that..stay wicked awesome Laura ..random thought what would happen if you put in anything other than thoose tapes in ?! like i said radom thoght lol

I remember the laser tag shooting, I, unfortunately, sold my original Teddy way back, in 2006 I rebought him off eBay cheap, and got him for my 4-year-old son then. I still have him today but like yours, Teddy's eyes and mouth stop working and I don't have any of the tapes or books. Now Grubby was hard to find back in 1989 not too man where made and he was way more pricy then Teddy, but I never know that the round port on the back of the toy was for a cord good to know. And also never knew of the baby teddy or the projector, this is why I watch this video's I always learn something new. I got to work on getting Grubby...Oh like your teddy he is mint condition.

Yes, in the 80's we were taught that pandas were not really bears, but now based on genetic evidence it's settled that they are.

My best friend had a Ruxpin. And his sisters had a Mother Goose, wich was kinda the same thing. But they always let me enjoy their toys with them. We are still friends today... 32 years later. Maybe your Ruxpin only needs dome WD-40 behind his face :-)

great video haha
