Anyone remembers Teddy Ruxpin?

~~Cropsy~~ · 09-15-2009, 10:18 AM

The cartoon was quite good and underrated, one of the 80's best toons and from DIC who gave us Inspector Gadget, Sonic The Hedgehog and Real Ghostbusters and the toy was was quite neat.

Here's an episode Http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJBG1QjL_T8
One of my favorite cartoons since i was 6 in 1987 to 7 in 1988.

I never saw the cartoon series but a friend of mine had the plush talking bear. I have a little 6 in Teddy Ruxpin action figure, who is currently missing an arm....*lol*

I never saw the show (which I always thought was DTV), but I clearly remember my cousin's Teddy Ruxpin karaokin' a 2 Live Crew tape. XD

Well I guess I will be the first on here to say, used to watch the show all the time!!

That and my other favs of back at that time being inspector gadget and GUMMY BEARS!! hahah loved that show too!

I actually don't remember much for the shows content, but I do remember the opening very well!

I remember an amusing flame war we once had in a Teddy Ruxpin thread a couple years ago, here on the Drome.

I only remember hearing about the toy, when lip-synching machines were a novelty at the time. I also remember a Mother Goose and Grimm comic strip where Grimmy puts a tape of KISS music into a Teddy Ruxpin doll. Your cousin already outdid him!

*odupianist* · 09-16-2009, 08:37 AM

I used to have the toys and the big talking version of him and Grubby (wasn't it Grubby? the yellow dude).

Teddy Tuxpin was creepy as hell.

Magneto · 09-17-2009, 12:46 AM

I remember seeing the toy way back when, but I never bothered with the toon.

~~Cropsy~~ · 09-17-2009, 08:58 AM

Well the cartoon is quite good and there's some episodes on Youtube including the rare live-action pilot that aired on ABC in 1986 before the animated show.

*Buslady* · 09-17-2009, 09:10 AM

you mean the satanic teddy ruxpin? lol there was a thing going around one of the bears sold spoke of devilish things, or it was just a rumor hahaah

Oh my!! I needed a good laugh and that was most certainly what I needed!

Altho Teddy Ruxpin doesn't scare me half as much as Barney the Dinosaur or Hello Kitty....

*gobo* · 09-17-2009, 12:44 PM

Barney, I can understand. But, Hello Kitty?

*discordiatookie* · 09-23-2009, 07:34 PM

My cousin had a Teddy Ruxpin talking bear thingy when we were wee. I hated it. My sister and I had a talking Mickey Mouse and Goofy set much in the same vein, which were all kinds of better.

You beat me to it!

Loved Teddy Ruxpin. I broke mine and it still bothers me to this day, b/c I made such a fuss about wanting one. I don't think any childhood possessions that I mishandled have caused me such guilt. I seriously would pay a crapload for a working, vintage Teddy Ruxpin from the 80s. I still have the tape that went in his back.

In 95 they had a newer one that talked along to VHS tapes, and my mom did the cruelest thing ever; brought it home to show it to me, then after getting acquainted with it, she gave it to my 5-year old cousin b/c I was "too old" for it.

It had a friggin Ninja Turtles video it came with, too!!!

I watched the toon a little bit but could never seem to catch it. I also have a little Quaker Oatmeal give-away storybook where Newton Gimmick reminds Teddy and Grubby to fill up on hot Quaker Oatmeal before the big Sled Race. Oh, and a coloring/activity book.

Love Teddy Ruxpin.
