Recently, I sent an email to Wicked Cool Toys inquiring if new TR merch would be released this year. This was their response:
"Thank you for your inquiry and interest in Teddy Ruxpin. We are happy to share that a sing along Teddy & Grubby at $19.99 (our suggested retail price) for this year's release, though we do not have any exact details regarding an exact release date or where they will be available at this time."
I'm not quite sure what "Sing-a-Long" entails, but I'm looking foward to a new Grubby for the first time since WOW.
What are your thoughts?

For $19.99?? Sounds to me like it's a CD of the usual songs.

I think its a plush cause while looking up teddy ruxpin baby I found a picture of a teddy in blue pagamas and the wct teddy logo on him with blue eyes. I clicked on the link it took me to Walmart it said sing a long teddy $19.99 out of stock.

Can someone give me the link to the TR Sing-A-Long toy? This is the link to Walmart's Pintrest account. They pinned it.

There's been a lot of talk about this on the Facebook forum page and there are a few people who are up in arms about it, saying that the WCT staff are toxic and should be fired and things like that. I'm looking forward to these toys, I think this Teddy Ruxpin looks kind of cute, I like the pattern on the shirt he's wearing. I'm hoping the batteries in these plush squeeze toys, if that's what they are, can be replaced by the user, many music plush toys from the 80s and 90s had non replaceable batteries. I'm disappointed by the fact that WCT doesn't plan to release a Grubby companion toy that links to the current Teddy Ruxpin, I hope they do this at some time because I'd really love to see an interactive singing Teddy and Grubby pair. Since this Teddy Ruxpin is dressed in pyjamas, I wouldn't be surprised if it sings lullabies.

I don't understand those people- in my opinion, the real toxicity comes from people who are attacking WCT just because they don't like the toy. As for the Grubby companion, at least they know people are interested and they're considering it. That's hope enough for me.

I agree with you about the toxicity thing. There are a lot of things I like about WCT's Teddy, even if I don't like everything. Yes, there is room for improvement, but they've done a good job so far. I'm looking forward to learning more about the singing toys and whatever else they do in the future. The best thing people can do is be patient and give kind suggestions for the future. We do get to see Grubby, which is very positive.
