The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin

from 1985-1987

[big-fat-l0ser]

I’m going to actually spontaneously combust if I can’t obtain a teddy ruxpin soon i just AAAAAAGH I NEED A TAPE TALKERRRR!!!! and when I say “teddy ruxpin working” on eBay all that shows up is “200$ teddy ruxpin 1985 NOT WORKING FOR PARTS AS IS” and it’s not even a 1985 model it’s a 1998 one!!!

I want to get into teddy ruxpin but I have a few questions! 1. working teddy ruxpin plushies seem very rare, did you get yours working or did you repair him somehow? 2. does the plush take more cadettes than just teddy ruxpin ones? sorry if these are stupid questions!!

I’ll attempt to answer both of these at the same time! and remember that there are no stupid questions!! Only the occasional Mean People who aren’t worth your time… anyways. There are five versions of Teddy Ruxpin, since he’s been re-released over the years.

Worlds of Wonder - 1985 - runs on cassettes

Small WoW/Playskool - 1987/1990 - runs on these strange micro cartridges more similar to 8 tracks

YES Entertainment - 1998 - micro carts as well

Backpack Toys - 2006 - Back to regular cassette tapes

Wicked Cool Toys - 2017 - completely digital, requires an app

I would keep these on hand for reference, just because I see newer teddies sold as cassette-takers a lot, and obviously a buyer looking to play their Worlds of Wonder tapes is going to be disappointed when a Playskool arrives. That being said! The teddies that run on cassettes (Worlds of Wonder and Backpack Toys) can totally play normal non-bear tapes. He’s a completely functional tape deck, just won’t animate to The Beach Boys or what have you, since normal cassettes contain an audio track but no talker data. As for your second question! I own three talkers. My 2017 came working in perfect condition, and my 1990 playskool has audio but no facial movement. My 1985 worlds of wonder came with a working tape deck and mouth, and I repaired his eyes myself.

One last thing. I salute you if anyone read this far! I kinda made a mountain out of an anthill here, whoops… I know A Lot about Teddy Ruxpin

You're right about stuffed animals; The more unique it is, the harder it will be to restore. An average teddy bear or something simple like it will still take time, but should be relatively easy if you follow its base pattern and you can find the right materials to replace what a nice bath (different products for different fabrics of course) and scrub-down can't fix. However, has the fabric/material your project uses been discontinued, and those stubborn stains won't lift? If so, you'll need to compare it to find its best replacement match in quality/look/feel. To me its like putting together a puzzle while looking at the box to make sure you're doing it right. But for…let's say a 1985 Teddy Ruxpin, you'll have to have good knowledge of moving electronic bits and motors as well to get it back to its full, original glory. For complicated ones like these I feel like you gotta delve into the Furby community because they, above all else, know how to skin a robotic creature to shape it anew without messing up the motors or fur in the process. Also I am SO SORRY for this wall of text, I hope your pony gets their eyesight restored!

NO THANK U THIS HELPS A LOT ❤️ @ruinable <- so u can see this! This is literally so so true and god. The furby community is NUTS and like so so impressive....

Women’s Power Dressing

Shoulder pads. Oversized double-breasted suits. The floppy silk “tie.” On runways and movie sets, in office buildings and boardrooms, women of the ’80s dressed in masculine-inspired fashions to express their growing power. Corporate business women, First Lady Nancy Reagan and global icon Princess Diana alike embraced the suit look, as did heavy-hitting designers of the era including Giorgio Armani, Thierry Mugler and Calvin Klein. The suits, shoulder pads and lady ties permeated pop culture as well, showcased in movies such as 9 to 5 (1980) and Working Girl (1988) and TV shows like Dynasty (1981-89) and Moonlighting (1985-89)—all of which featured strong female characters who brought even more popularity to the power dressing trend.

Food + Fun = ‘Eatertainment’

Video games saw a huge rise in the 1980s, with standup machines like “Centipede” and, “Pac Man” (both released in 1980) and “Street Fighter” (released in 1988) sending kids and teens to mall arcades in droves. A favorite food of that same audience? Pizza. So when Nolan Bushnell, the co-founder of Atari, decided to launch a family restaurant filled with animatronic animals and video games that served, you guessed it, pizza, it was a match made in heaven. Chuck E. Cheese—and the trend of "eatertainment"—was born.

Music goes visual

When MTV took to the airwaves in 1981, the world's first music video channel kicked things off with "Video Killed the Radio Star." And while the song’s concept of that song may not have exactly foretold the future, it certainly changed the way fans viewed musical artists. The 24-hour music channel, with its moon man logo and a target audience of 12-to 34-year-olds, started as a way to promote new artists by airing videos, music documentaries and concert footage with a rotation of VJs (video jockeys) serving as hosts. Prince, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Boy George and others offered conceptual videos that often made headlines and broke barriers. (Jackson's 13-minute short film/music video for “Thriller " was the first of its kind.) Shows including "Yo! MTV Raps," launched in 1988, brought hip-hop culture to the mainstream. And the annual Video Music Awards, started in 1984, not only recognized music videos as a new art form, but garnered huge publicity—think Madonna emerging from a massive wedding cake as she sang "Like a Virgin"—sparking sales of fingerless lace gloves worldwide.

Toy Crazes Spark Frenzies

Shoppers camped out in line overnight in freezing temps. People ripped boxes from the arms of strangers. A near-riot broke out in Charleston, West Virginia, as 5,000 people showed up to score one of just 120 available dolls. All that behavior occurred in the name of Cabbage Patch Kids, a toy many described as "homely" that came with an often unusual name, plus a birth certificate, adoption papers and orphan backstory. The dolls, the brainchild of artist Xavier Roberts, hit store shelves in the summer of 1983, and all 2 million produced were sold by fall. As toy company Coleco raced to meet demand, reports quickly emerged of tramplings, fights and other violence by those desperate to purchase the dolls before Christmas. At its peak in 1985, according to Bloomberg, the line made $600 million. But while it earned the most headlines, it wasn't alone in the '80s toy shopping craze trend. Transformer sales reached almost $950 million in the 1980s, including $333 million in 1985 alone, the Associated Press reported. The Rubik’s Cube sold out during its debut year in 1980. And the animatronic Teddy Ruxpin plush toy that could talk, blink and move its head, sold out during the holiday season of 1985. Even at it's $59-$79 retail price, more than 800,000 dolls were sold that year.
