My son got this for Christmas and unfortunately he's never played with it. He works perfectly and is in brand new condition. You can download the Teddy Ruxpin app and connect him through Bluetooth to your tablet or phone and Teddy will tell your child stories with animated eyes and a moving mouth while the app displays the story through animation like a book online and your child can also read along with Teddy. Very precious toy and I thought about keeping him until my son was older because my husband and I both enjoyed laying in bed and listening to teddies stories the day we opened him up and tested him out. This toy retails for $100 and is brand new only used once and is in brand new condition
