This is the place. Barbie pushes Teddy Ruxpin's buttons till he sings a song tape. My Programmable BabyBot screws its pliable face into Expression 269P, a puffy-lipped pout. A little girl with a Raggedy Ann will decide what to play and what to say, making up both sides of the conversation. BabyBot is programmed to play in a certain way.
Nothing is left to the imagination.
Also in the works is Mattel's Miracle Moves Baby, designed by Caleb Chung, father of the language-learning Furby. For boys, there are talking cars, trucks and trains. No need to make vroom-vroom noises for these conversing vehicles. MGA's Me and My Shadow and Trendmasters' WuvLuvs 2 also make the list. Man's best e-friend also is on sale.
