Wicked Cool Toys 2017 Teddy Ruxpin Review Part 1: The App

[@atechchuck]

It's good to see you back in the groove again! My new teddy's bluetooth dose not even work lol.

[@wizzwamf]

i was very worried about you as i had no idea where you had gone or if you had become ill ,,,, so good to know your ok sweetie

[@marcusblackwell2372]

4:21 my first choices are either Grubby's Romance, The Day Teddy Met Grubby, the Lullaby one and the Christmas one

[@tallestpinkyt7992]

I’m planning on getting lullabies when I can afford it

[@padenmcdonald579]

What happened to those 40 stories he was supposed to be able to hold in his “10 gb hard drive”? I remember seeing a section of the website where you could download new stories. And you still had to buy them through the app before you could listen to them. This just sounds like a way for them to get more money.

[@Lachlant1984]

The "10 GB hard drive" is only 1 GB actually, and technically it's not a hard drive, it's a flash memory storage chip. As far as I know, Wicked Cool Toys no longer make Teddy Ruxpin and may not even hold the license for it any longer, so it's quite likely you cannot download those story files anymore.

[@padenmcdonald579]

I know it’s not really a hard drive. I was joking about the toy fair video where the guy was talking about the 10 gb hard drive.

[@Lachlant1984]

@@padenmcdonald579 I thought they said Teddy Ruxpin would have a 4 GB storage disk.

[@padenmcdonald579]

Oh, it was 4 gb. I just checked the video.

[@glenngoble4697]

I like the new review style! I also love your profile pic! It's so much cuter than your old one! Nice job!

[@teddyruxpinchannel4906]

10 commercials are you kidding me

[@furbywankenobiluna]

this is not my favorite teddy but he is really cute, soft and I do like the eyes

[@brianhebert6152]

I can only guess the Backpack Toys versions of the stories were used because the masters for the original stories were unable to be located.

[@Zadakleader635IvanTheRobot]

i'm one of the unlucky ones having issues with the conection, so far i couldn't get both things connected...

[@clamshell6863]

You're right. The Airship is missing Come and Discover the World at the end. All about Bears is also missing the third verse of Who Wouldn't Love a Koala? They also cut the PSA at the end of the Missing Princess. Not a fan.

[@blueoctopede]

They cut the PSA out of The Missing Princess!?!?! Ughhhhhhh

[@itsthatshorty4031]

1. Why did they change the shirt color to orange? 2. If they wanted to go with a more modern theme,they should’ve just went with cartridges instead of cassettes like game, cartridges or something. 3. whenever you turn him off, his eyes are just completely black and kids might lose the eye mask. 4. Even though he is a good quality, the original, Teddy Ruxpin wasn’t even as much as he cost he costs 299$ plus tax and the original teddy cost 70$ (that would be 190$ in today’s money) even though that’s still expensive it’s still cheaper than the teddy now.

[@JESmith]

On the extended version of The Airship, what images does the app show when they play the dialogue from the TV special with Tweeg, since that obviously wasn't in the original book?

[@princesspeachfan100]

Yeah, I like/ love the original 80's version ALOT better. I'm not really a fan of his newer design or the apps instead of tapes, (and the fact there's not much books on the app. (The original 80's one had MUCH MORE of a range, (60+ cassette tapes) and this version only has like 12 little books on an app. (I prefer it the old way with a cassette player to put tapes in anyways. (I think his newer LED eyes are really cool though.) and that he closes his mouth early while saying stuff which makes him cheap and awkward. (I probably only would of gotten this version of him just to have one and I'm from the newer generation, instead of ordering the 80''s one from Amazon or Ebay since I'm cautious of ordering one from them (ESPECIALLY Ebay) since I wouldn't want him to arrive broken and not work, then I'd be screwed since i would have absolutely NO IDEA how to fix him at all.) (I have no experience at all with that kind of stuff so yeah.) (Also the fact that he's REALLY expensive alot of the times from how old it is) But yeah, then I thought about it and I really want to somehow get the 80's or even the updated Backpack Toys version of him instead (maybe) since I like those versions and prefer them a whole lot better. :)

[@rookiebat]

What do you think of them calling arin "prinn" in the home screen? It's incredibly cursed and I do not understand why they did that????

[@blueoctopede]

Oh goodness I did NOT notice that!!! Wow!! They really messed that one up. 100% cursed.

[@tallestpinkyt7992]

@@blueoctopede how about naming him sweets 2.0

[@GeorgiaHvacAndMore]

YOUR BACK!

[@serenajohnson6281]

No offense meant but I have to correct you on one matter. The Backpack Toys version of Teddy uses audio from the live action ABC special that came before the cartoon series. The actors remain the same in the special as in the Adventure Series of books and tapes. Tony Pope still voices Gimmick, regardless of what version of Teddy you have.

[@enzonolastname1181]

Double upload yay

[@teddyruxpinchannel4906]

You can mail Wicked Cool Toys to make the app better

[@boglander2004]

I honestly wish they would add the story grunge music

[@yourfellowoctopede6054]

I’m pretty sure they did

[@yourfellowoctopede6054]

I swear I saw it once but I might be mistaken

[@blueoctopede]

Teddy: So if you're lookin' for fun, do the Grunge! Do it! Me: You can't tell me what to do.

[@TyeRuxpin]

Amazing xx

[@teddyruxpinchannel4906]

I really want them to make more Story's

2017 Teddy, you Blue-Eyed Devil

[@AnimatronicCollector77]

I have one question When you Bought a story on the app The teddy himself will have the story even though you dont use the app? I have one so that's why i asked that

[@brianhebert6152]

I posted a comment blaming My Friend Cayla for the demise of this version, but then my old account was deleted. Oh dear.

[@octostriker9844]

It says that Part 2 is a private video, why is that?

[@blueoctopede]

It could still be in the process of publishing... Give it a minute and refresh the page.

[@Lachlant1984]

You probably know that I'm vision impaired, I use an iPhone and I use VoiceOver, which is a screen reader which reads out everything on the screen. It is completely impossible to use the Teddy Ruxpin app with VoiceOver, it's completely inaccessible and this upsets me. I don't know if it works with TalkBack on Android or not, I couldn't get Teddy Ruxpin to connect to my Nexus Android tablet.

[@tallestpinkyt7992]

did you turn on bluetooth? lachlant1984

[@Lachlant1984]

@@tallestpinkyt7992 Yes, but that's not the issue at hand here, the issue is that the Teddy Ruxpin app does not work with the VoiceOver screen reader on the iPhone. As for the Nexus tablet, yes, I probably did turn Bluetooth on, I can't think why I wouldn't have.
