I actually think what's even creepier is his packaging. Look at how SIMILAR it is to 80s Teddy's. Down to the color scheme and font. And that nose... it's identical! It makes me wonder if it cropped up from a potential manufacturer that was courted by an employee sent by WOW to Hong Kong to find a manufacturer at a decent cost. At my job NDA's are a big deal... maybe not so in China!

Nope, you're exactly right, kaylathehedgehog! I had the privilege of interviewing two former WOW executives a few years ago for an undergraduate research project on Teddy and WOW and got to hear some interesting stories. That was one of them!

I thought that was the situation. Too bad they didn't actually make Gabby cute. He looks like he belongs in Five Nights at Freddy's.
It's a darn shame about T.T. Instead of making him look like a straight Teddy knockoff, the box has an adorable drawing of who I assume is supposed to be T.T. that they could have used.

Wow. I wondered when I saw the muzzle and eyes. That makes lots of sense.

I recently bought a T.T. bear from Canada! I'll upload a video of the tape when I get him

^ That one looks like they straight up dumpster dove in WoW's trash bins for left over Teddy parts. Aside from the body, that head looks almost exactly like Teddy. And the artwork looks like an almost straight rip off of a Care Bear.
