Teddy Ruxpin Returns to Enchant a New Generation of Children
BackPack Toys Offers Exclusive Online Pre-Sale Opportunity to Reserve Limited Edition Teddy Ruxpins Starting July 1st
Milford, NH (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Teddy Ruxpin®, the world’s first
animated storytelling toy, will once again captivate children with his love of
adventure, learning, imagination, and friendship. To mark Teddy Ruxpin’s return,
parents, collectors and gift-givers can reserve their very own Limited Edition
Teddy Ruxpin, starting July 1, through an exclusive pre-sale opportunity at www.teddyruxpin.com. During
the pre-sale event, 100 lucky participants will also be randomly selected to
receive a special autographed Teddy Ruxpin by the toy’s original creator, Ken
Forsse.
“We are proud to offer Teddy fans the opportunity to be one of
the first to receive this endearing toy,” says Ed Hames, president of BackPack
Toys International, Ltd. “Although there are other interactive toys on the
market, there is no substitute for Teddy Ruxpin and his library of songs and
adventures. In fact, we’ve already received countless emails from people
anxiously awaiting Teddy’s return and we’re excited about providing them the
opportunity to secure a Teddy this holiday season.”
Hailed as a timeless
toy that has helped shape today’s playthings due to its intuitive design and
outstanding play value, Teddy Ruxpin came to life as his eyes and mouth moved in
perfect sync with every adventure he told. Today, Teddy Ruxpin boasts the latest
technology and easy-to-use controls that have been perfectly designed to
accommodate small hands. Teddy Ruxpin will come packaged with three adventures
programmed on a child-friendly, durable, Adventure/Song Cartridge that enables
Teddy to come to life. Also new and included with Teddy Ruxpin are three
beautifully illustrated storybooks and accompanying read-along/story-songbooks.
Four additional Adventure Packages, to be sold separately, will also be released
this September.
Fans, parents, gift-givers and friends are invited to
reserve their Limited Edition Teddy Ruxpin starting July 1 on www.teddyruxpin.com during
this exclusive presale event. Teddy Ruxpin will be available for the same price
that he was sold for in 1985 – $69.99 (MSRP).
