Everyone is talking about how scary Pennywise is in the new version of IT but what about another ’80s icon, Teddy Ruxpin? The cuddly, blinking, talking teddy bear that was THE Christmas toy back in the mid ’80s IS BAAAACK! And he’s more terrifying than ever.

 

Just look at those terrifying eyes. Thanks to modern breakthroughs in LCD technology, his animatronic eyes have been replaced with digital peepers that now feature over 40 animations. Can you imagine walking up to those yes staring at you? He looks like a White Walker from Game of Thrones.

 

And since it’s 2017, the latest incarnation of Teddy Ruxpin comes with it’s own app where you can download more stories if your children can get past the fact that this Teddy 2.0 will probably give them nightmares. Unfortunately you won’t be able to put your old cassette tapes in his back like the old Teddy 🙁

 

The new school Teddy Ruxpin is selling for $100US… do you think he will be on your child’s Christmas list this year?
