I loves this ❤

This is the Teddy Ruxpin version of the Actimates toy.

Teddy ruxpin is so cute 😊

I'm not sure if anyone provided insight on this yet, but the "synthesised / modulated" nature of the voices is indeed a limitation of the time. Due to memory constraints for storing many voice samples. To get around this, most toys of the era used an algorithm called Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) to compress speech. LPC basically runs multiple regression analyses on the original voice signal to do a kind of data reduction or factor analysis, working out what component phonemes can be applied to recreate the waveform in a way that approximates the original but with much less complexity/variation. LPC was both used to synthesis output speech and interpret input speech in interactive toys like the Furby, and even Worlds of Wonder's "Julie" and Playmates "Jill" before that. LPC has a very distinctive electronic sound to it, which is why a lot of people think those toys' speech sounds 'similar' in some ways. In sum, you *are* "talking to a robot version of Teddy", because LPC has not edited the original sound, but rather generated a whole new sound in its place. It goes without saying that The Adventure Series tapes never suffered from poor sound reproduction because the tapes are the storage medium themselves.

That thing has better sync than TV Teddy and Smarty Bear's VHS packs

*ahem* lalalalalala! Teddy Ruxpin vocal practice

​@GrundoGazette --- Did any other model have interactivity with VHS tapes?

Teddy ruxpin has a program data glitch.

“Come dream with me today” Today?? W- are we gonna be in a coma or something?

I should have a teddy rockspan

This is helping me repair my Gen 1 Teddy Ruxpin who works great apart from the motors! Thanks for uploading!

That’s surprisingly pretty cool

❤❤❤❤❤thank you

Was God awful

At least Teddy wasn't reworked into the smug and/or sarcastic art style that they've given to the Care Bears now.

I have all threw versions of teddy ruxpin grubby and backpack toys teddy ruxpin phil baron will always be my childhood teddy ruxpin

Wow that's amazing

I watched The Aventures Of Teddy Ruxpin on GMA 7 back in 1987 every Saturday morning before Uncle Bob Luckily Seven Club in the Philippines. Then they aired on RPN 9 every Tuesday before the 5:30 pm News

That's much more elaborate than I expected it to be, thought it was just licensed regular phone with a decal on it like Mickey and Garfield heh. The voice synthesis aspect was needed for compression sake at that time, only way to get digital voice track samples small enough for the memory storage of the era. Sure it's not MP3 good but it sounds better than the Intellivoice module "B-17 Bomber.".😁

Never mind. You answered my previous comment right here in the tutorial. It would be fun to hear the episodes, though. Including Teddy's commentary.

What happens if you play the vhs tapes without having Teddy connected? Would you still hear Teddy's comments? Or will you just hear the show with no extras? Great tutorial.

why is my teddy ruxpin and grubby not working

I had that DVD. Bought one on ebay long ago when I got interested in hunting up parts to restore and repair Teddy. I bought belts off Stand and Marianne Hanel too, but have also found that electronic parts stores carry the belts. The pinch roller for the plastic tape deck is probably one the hardest rubber components to track down. The pinch roller for the metal deck is just a common sized 9x6x1.5mm that's typically used on most walkman style tape players. The plastic deck pinch roller is slightly larger in size. I got tired of finding them in half working condition, so I stepped up to the plate and started repairing/restoring all the ones I've been able to gather that are in like brand new or barely used condition. I've done a couple Mickey's and Snoopy's too. I once did a Dozzzy, ALF, and Skippy Scribbles as well. Dozzy and Skippy Scribbles had the same metal deck mechanism as the 85-86 Teddy Ruxpin, but the Alf had a different mechanism. Still, all these characters are fairly simple to refurbish the tape deck mechanism on and get working perfectly again. Mother Goose is harder to work on, because of the eject button and the way the housing is setup. I did an Ideal Big Bird Storymagic once and that was a royal pain to get apart and put back together. It probably would have been easier if I had any sewing skills.

I have the shapes are everywhere cassette

I don't recall where I heard about the eye colour choice. I've heard the broader colour palette one but I'd also heard that the brown colour of his eyes didn't work well with the LCD eyes. It wasn't a first-person source so its validity is probably to be taken with a pretty large lump of salt. I fear I'm going to be permanently stuck at the original 3 and 2 servo WOW version. The WCT one was the first one I didn't buy.

Can someone upload the videos with Teddy’s commentary?

i wanne buy it

cool

I found a photo somewhere online of “Prototype Grubby” back in the 80s and is it just me, or does he look better now than then?

I am in need of the entire tape deck for 1998 Teddy Ruxpin. Where can I find one ?

Teddy Ruxpin can just pause things whenever he wants? *I have a collection of Magicians…*

This looks awful glad this got scrapped his color and changing the song .

This is so touching, at that time technology was just enough to entertain and make our lives easier, but not too much to distract us and make us less human like today. I wish those plushes were for sale

Are you guys going to bring back the teddy Ruxpin toys 1:14

This video was very well done. You also helped me out with the problem I was having. Lol! Even though I am totally blind, I still put my books on my answer box. I just realized I had the answer box in the totally wrong orientation. I had the box with the binding to the left. I wondered why the cord was so short. Lol! I am going to put your video in the description link of my video about the answer box. It is nowhere near as comprehensive as yours, but it just shows how it can be modified so a blind person can use it. Other blind people might be able to memorize all the answers, but on top of being blind, I also have dyslexia. The button orientation sometimes turns upside down in my brain. To combat this, I basically wrote out a sort of cheat sheet for each book. You will see this process in my videos as I play through each book.

I just had a nice little thought, can you do a little tribute to Will Ryan, please? Because he was such an integral part of making the Teddy Ruxpin franchise so entertaining and enjoyable. And I miss him so terribly. 😢

1988? I was a teenager in high school!

I HAVE SHAPES ARE EVERYWHERE! I didn’t know it was rare until now.

Love the cooking video, you were really great at demonstrating! Hilarious intro with the cardboard tray. I want to try making these now.

I love this! Amazing she sold you that, amazing. Do you know if Linda would mind fans inquiring about autographs? I would hate to bother her by tracking her down if she doesn't want the attention. I would really love to have her sign one of my books maybe. I would love to see every single piece of the Alchemy II stuff she shared with you guys.

I can’t wait to start watching it!!

Thank you for sharing this!!

Oh I have the disk

Great video as always. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful resource to reference back to, to this day! Thanks so much for sharing/posting.

Thanks for posting this, I was so glad to see it when BlueOctopede shared and archived her copy, and quite relieved I didn't bid any higher than 70 bucks the last time I saw this up for auction! Not a lot of instruction, but would still like to have a copy for my collection.

So cool to see this

There are people here on UA-cam who have Shapes are Everywhere!

i remember teddy ruxpin
