With Takara Tomy¡¯s new teddy bear Kuma-chan, the toy company has realized everyone¡¯s childhood dream: a stuffed animal that talks.
The teddy bear talks so naturally that Takara Tomy is being very tight-lipped about the technology that allows Kuma-chan to interact.
Takara Tomy claims that Kuma-chan has a larger vocabulary and song repertoire than the average stuffed animal. Not only can the teddy bear engage in real-time conversations on topics ranging from the weather to movie dates, it is also a great study partner.
According to Takara Tomy, Kuma-chan can answer all your questions and often surprise you with its knowledge on recent topics such as Nadeshiko Japan.
Kuma-chan is not only a receptive speaker; it can also take the lead and ask questions about your favorite sport, food and so on.
¡°The Secret of Kuma-chan¡± will be on sale from July 16 in brown, white and pink for ?9,980.
