I have seen only a few images of him as a walk-around/fur/atmosphere character. Can you find some more fursuits like the Child Awareness one?

I have this DVD and am willing to rip and release. The seller never told me (via email or on paper) that I was unable to do so, which I found odd at the time due to others receiving such instructions. I am in the process of moving currently, but when I next stumble upon the disc I'll set it aside. At such a time that the content has been ripped, I will create a new thread to alert interested parties. Go for it *lolly whoozers*.

It would depend on who was doing the CGI. If it were someone like Disney or Pixar, it might turn out okay. Hm... It is just my opinion, but I personally don't like Disney's CGI. The character designs look ugly.
I usually prefer traditional style 2D animation... But no Western studio will do that anymore. The original designs for Teddy and the other characters in the series was very good, but certainly very 80s. Unfortunately, as we see with My Little Pony, even in the case of 2D animation, such a style doesn't usually resurface intact post early 2000s.
I don't like the idea of licensing Teddy Ruxpin to Disney either.. Though it would probably make the franchise more popular.
I'm trying to help you guys, CGI is amazing!

I quote from BlueOctopede, about Gimmick:
"The holy grail of the video, however, is the prototype/mockup Gimmick toy. Those of you who have been keeping in touch with me privately know that Gimmick is pretty much the bane of my existence. The rumors are true. He does exist. He is the size of a big WoW Teddy and is wonderfully built. He appears to me to be a photo prototype, like my Mother Goose- the actual toy, just no moving parts and electronics. His head I believe is molded vinyl or plastic, but I'd have to ask to be certain. His hair and mustache are comb-able, and his glasses are attached to his nose. His hands, feet, and body are plush, and the detailing on his outfit is phenomenal! They got everything right, down to the little magnifying glass and pens he keeps in his pockets! If he were an actual working toy, it looks like his bottom jaw would move up and down as he talked, his eyes would blink like Mickey Mouse and Goofy (a separate eyelid piece instead of the entire eye rolling back into the head), and very possibly, his eyebrows would move up and down. There are gaps between the corners of the eyebrows that highly suggest this. Also, they look to be plastic, rather than actual hair. He is really, absolutely phenomenal. Everything I imagined he would be!!"
It seems that the Gimmick prototype featured in the video did not move, either he was a photo prototype like BlueOctopede said, or he was broken like many of the other toys in the video (prototype Snoopy's ears didn't move, and neither did Charlie Brown's eyes..). It seems the poor things were not taken care of very well.
I think he was mostly a photo prototype because he did not break apart. blueoctopede says that he is designed beautifully and they got everything right just like the cartoon.

I have seen that online but I didn't see the calendar, bookmarks, and patches but I don't remember if I saw the Birthdate pin, wall signs, and wall pictures or not.

Yeah! I am still waiting for her to come back and talk about the 2017 Teddy Ruxpin. She has posted the plot of the DVD on Facebook but now we need to see Gimmick. She has been active on FaceBook recently? Interesting, I do not have FaceBook, so I cannot "like" the page.
However, I have seen some of her posts there before. Particularly the one which mentions the DVD. I believe the original seller was the owner of the AnimationFascination website, who disappeared from the Teddy Ruxpin community because of some unspeciefied "drama", taking his website down. He knew a lot about Teddy Ruxpin and Worlds of Wonder, and had connections with former employees of the company, which is presumably how he obtained the DVD which contains the footage of WoW prototypes. He sold the DVD on one condition, that the buyer would not show the footage to anyone, nor post it publically on the internet. I suspect this was because he was still selling the DVDs at the time, and did not want to loose potential buyers.
Considering his disappearance, and that he ran out of stock, it would be perfectly okay for Blueoctopede to share the video now. I do hope she does, such things should not be kept hidden from collectors.
I did not know that. Thanks for sharing about the future of that DVD, I really love that.

Honestly, I doubt anyone has this DVD... Posting so much about it is a little spammish... Only about 4 or 5 members ever come here. You have posted about it before, now all you can do it wait. YouTube user Blueoctopede owns the DVD. However, she hasn't been active for a very long time Yeah! I am still waiting for her to come back and talk about the 2017 Teddy Ruxpin. She has posted the plot of the DVD on Facebook but now we need to see Gimmick.

I believe that MindSpring is the host of the Teddy Ruxpin FAQ. It's got a lot of nifty stuff there. What a lucky site.
