Really, guys? We get another chance to reignite a love for Teddy in a new generation and you're hoping it fails? I hate to say it, but since the previous Teddy (which was pretty much the original Teddy with MP3 cartridges) did SO WELL, maybe they think that going in a different direction will work better with today's kids.
Come on, guys. I've always been proud of the fact the Teddy fandom isn't bogged down with generation wars like Transformers and My Little Pony. Let's not start the hating now.

Come on, guys. I've always been proud of the fact the Teddy fandom isn't bogged down with generation wars like Transformers and My Little Pony. Let's not start hating now. Perhaps the Teddy fandom didn't have "generation wars" because none of the previous versions of Teddy were really very different. They could have updated the new Teddy without making him so ugly. For instance, keep the app, change the outfit (without making it ugly), but leave Teddy's eyes alone. And don't make the face and body so awkward (although that could just be the prototype). Again, the least they could do is make the eyes blink properly and make the eye colour brown, even if they left the ugly screens in. Perhaps we can still get them to do that at least. Seeing as the Furby Connect has LCD eyes that also blink mechanically, it certainly is not impossible. And changing the colour is easy. You speak of bringing Teddy back for the "new generation", but honestly... Some things are better left in the past.

Agreed. Sooo poorly made. The proto is a good example of the final we might get... and I don't like it.

Wow. Just wow. I never thought I'd see the day when the Teddy fandom would have its own set of Geewunners.

And I never thought I'd see the day where the Teddy fandom turned him into a "LORD TEDDY RUXPIN" and friends. He's a friendly bear, not a WAR LEADER. Do ya think Forsse would approve of that? Also, not to mention- we like all generations with the exception of the new one. How is that being a "GEEWUNNER"?

It's a PROTOTYPE, for goodness's sake! He doesn't even come out until the fall of next year! Overreacting, much?
As to the eye color, you guys are aware that the front page of this very forum once had a blue-eyed Teddy graphic, right?

It's not overreacting, but he doesn't deserve to die because of some stupid company that ruined everything! Also, it's just a cover- not the actual base for the toy. How is that related?

And if this attempt at bringing him back fails, he most likely dies again anyways. So, since he's going to die either way, you should be happy however this goes. But whatever, he's already died four times already, hasn't he? What's another death? Just call him an ursine Goku.

HES NOT RELEVANT SO WE'LL MAKE HIM!! BLUE PANTS!! NEW SHIRT!! UGLY NEW FACE!!!1!!1!!! LCD EYES!!!! KIDS LIKE TVS RIGHT?!?!?!!?! AND PEOPLE HAVE IPADS!!! TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!! LETS MAKE HIM AS POPULAR AS POSSIBLE!!!! HELL BE OUR CASH COWW!!!!! !OR SHOULD I SAY BEAR EHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEEHEH OH WAIT ILLIOP?!!??!?! OOKKKK ILLIOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The fandom cares, others honestly don't. Teddy has a lot of "demonic representation" and the fandom is usually the only one that sees through that. (or people who had him as a child.)

Okay okay, everyone just calm down.
All caps are unnecessary.
About the new Teddy being only a prototype, that doesn't matter, as (unfortunately) the production model likely isn't going to be much different.
I wouldn't be so avidly defending the original, if the new version wasn't so terrible. Again, there are ways to update him without going this far.
I do not hate every new toy.For instance, I do not really mind the new My Little Pony, even though I still prefer the original.
I even preferred the new Littlest Pet Shop and Puppy in My Pocket. The new Furreal Friends are rather cute. The new Licca-chan doll is cuter than the old one. I complain only if there is something to complain about.
I do not blindly follow new trends without criticism.
As for the blue-eyed Teddy graphic (and blue-eyed custom originals), that does not matter as these are fan works and not official merchandise. I appreciate blue-eyed customs, but I know they are just fan work and that the original, unmodified toy should look like the character in the illustrations.

Yep, you're really starting to sound like a Geewunner now.
