Techno Teddy

    Believe it or not, but when we bought the teddy (some 15), it was already loaded with electronics. It had pressure sensors in different parts of the body, and would talk and teach you the names of its body parts ("Touch my tummy! Nooo... that's my right arm. Yes... that's my tummy! You're smart!"). The chip didn't look programmable though and sound quality was rather sub-par, so we ripped it all out and put in the Gameboy.
