Yes, the mouth movements are worst yet, it seems like it will break soon after purchasing. It is a very low quality toy, and it is much overpriced. I heard that it is selling for 200 USD. Stupid.

Hi Kevin.
I too have noticed the 'binary' mouth movements in some videos, I do like your description by the way, however I think it was in the video posted by Bridget Cary of CNET the mouth movements seemed slower. I've also noticed that the mouth movements aren't exactly very well synchronised with the speech. I understand the MSRP for Teddy Ruxpin is $99.99 US, the stories will be $5 each. Teddy Ruxpin will come with 3 included stories apparently, The Airship, Captured By Mudblups, and All About Bears, at least that's what's understood at the moment. Your comment about retailers making a profit on the toy only and not the stories is absolutely correct, I'd never even considered that point. Getting back to the mouth movements, I think at the moment it's uncertain as to what the mouth movements will be like because as I said, I've seen 2 different mouth movements. For the record, I understand this new Teddy has its issues, but I'm still very excited about it and I want to get one once they become available. Also, DollyPrince, where did you hear that Teddy would be $200? I'd not heard that. I do know that Entertainment Earth are taking pre-orders for it and I think they list the price as being $119 US which is getting a little steep, but it's still short of $200.

The other thing I didn't mention is that I think I've noticed some slight changes in Teddy Ruxpin's mouth shape, in some videos it looks like Teddy's muzzle has a slight round opening at the front where the tip of his tongue is, but on other videos I don't think I can see that opening in his muzzle, anyone else noticed this? Maybe I'm wrong.

I noticed that too. Now he looks like a baby instead of a 16 year old.
Also, the fact that he will be selling for $200 with only 1 story included, barely any movements, and low quality eyes is inexcusable.

The price is $100 and he'll include 3 stories. That's what I've heard. Where did you get your information from?

I heard the 1 story from a video about the new Teddy. I might have been misremembering it though. And I got the $200 from DollyPrince. I didn't see your earlier messages saying the actual price of the Teddy.

I have picture proof, the price is 156.99. Closer to 200 USD. Lachlan, please go to FaceBook group and see the picture in the comment section of the most recent post about WCT Teddy.
Yes, the mouth change is rather obvious. One of the first things I noticed besides the terrible eyes.

Very well. I'll need to watch the videos again, but I think WCT themselves said that Teddy would come with 3 stories out of the box, in fact I've seen pictures of the box and I think the box said that 3 stories are included. I don't quite know where DollyPrince got his information from.

Actually, it is even closer to 200 than I remembered!! It is 159.99. Add the 5 dollar price for each extra story (NOT including preloaded ones), and the price for an actual tablet or smartphone (because of course, you cannot download stories without one), and you have a ridiculously overpriced toy, not even close to being worth it.

I'm sorry, I misremembered from the videos that there was only 1 story included with Teddy. I wasn't trying to spread false information, it was just a mistake.

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was accusing you of lying DollyPrince, that wasn't my intention. I think I know which Facebook post you're talking about and I know there was a video that accompanied it. I will say that I have posted a question on the official Teddy Ruxpin Facebook page, which I assume is being run by someone from Wicked Cool Toys, and indeed they said the price of the toy will be $99.99 US. The main reason why I didn't look at the Facebook post is because I know what people will be saying, I've read enough posts on that Facebook page to know what people think of the new Teddy Ruxpin.
