TJ Bearytales. OMG. Very weird.

tjbearytales.jpgFor Chip’s birthday, his grandfather gave him a TJ Bearytales talking bear thing. The boys like it, and it is a fine toy, but it is pretty odd!

The voice is very, um, sincere and enthusiastic. While it does come with a volume switch, Mike and Robbie believe that “Low” is for suckers and babies. So “High” it is.

And then there’s the location of the battery compartment.

Would you like to see TJ Bearytales in action before you buy? Lucky you that I took some video:

There, now you can be an informed shopper if this is something your kids have been begging for. Don’t say I never did anything for you!

    It is too much like that bear in AI…and that made my cry my eyes out.

    Whoa, I forgot about that movie — you’re right, it is just the same. Creepy!

    Man, that thing is creepy. My mom already bought one for my little guy so we don’t have a choice. T.J. is coming to stay for awhile very very soon.

    I’m generally not a fan of talking toys. We’ve had a couple of toys that decided to talk in the middle of the night-freaky.

    Beth, some toys that the grandparents give my kids *somehow* end up staying at the grandparent’s house. Try that!

    Flo, we have a puzzle that talks to me every night. As I’m walking to bed it will tell me what I call “the shape of the day”. Last night it yelled “DIAMOND!!” at me — creepy.

    I saw this advertised on TV and it freaked. me. out. If I saw it in person, it is likely I would run screaming in the other direction. Please, please tell me it isn’t lurking under the Christmas tree…

    It is mercifully switched off at the moment. The boys are asleep and we have a rule that no toys that make noise can go to bed. Phew.

    Battery toys are now BANNED in our house. That goes double for anything with the creepiness value of that thing.
