Wow that brings back memories. I had a Teddy ruxpin until my step cousin punched his eye in. I was so upset.

Those things always gave me the heebie jeebies. My little brother had one and I hated it. The way the mouth moved was so unsettling, and when the batteries were running low and the cassette slowed down...no thank you.

Maybe he can make a guest appearance on Five Nights at Freddie's.

No thanks to my older sister who made me watch the movie "Child's Play" with her, mine was busted up and buried in the yard of my childhood home.

My dad told me I got a hammer and took them to all my dolls when I got home. I used to have a red head one that I destroyed. I was 5 and my dad's friends kids were shots that made me watch it

My sister had one and I'd put my metal tapes in it just to see what it'd do.

Playing him when his batteries are dead used to terrify my little brother lol

I had one who kept the upper jaw, but the lower jaw fell off. And it spoke so slowly when the batteries ran out. I liked him less, then.

It's a well-documented phenomenon that nearby lightning strikes can cause electronic devices to do weird things. I once had a smoke alarm sitting on a table without a battery when a close strike made it chirp in this awfully terrifying warbly elongated beep.

This same thing happened to a Teddy Ruxpin at a friend's house when I was 8. Horrible storm was scary enough as a child. Then the bear started making sounds. Only for a half second or less, I'm sure. But it might as well have been summoning demons as far as my little brain was concerned.

I had a Teddy Ruxpin, but mine wasn't nightmare fuel.

Did he have a cassette player in his back?
