80s Fashion Trends are back for 2018 | Teddy Ruxpin Back In Stores | Cre...
Allllrrriiigghhtttt.. so this isnt the NEW Teddy, but according to Wicked Cool Toys, Teddy Ruxpin is being released in stores with an all new version, just in time for the holidays.
Im just now seeing news that pre-orders are starting to come in for those that ordered, so get it while its HOT!
I remember when Teddy Ruxpin was first released in September 1985, I didn’t have one, but I knew a few kids in the neighborhood that did, and they were pretty cool at the time.
This year will mark Teddys 32nd anniversary, and they have made a ton of changes to the toy bear.
To start, it will come with LED eyes that move and change according to Teddy's emotions, it has some smart sensors to control the bears actions, a Bluetooth to connect to a phone or tablet ,and a built-in 4 gig harddrive.
According to Toms Guide, its a lot cuddlier and has less hard plastic in the body. So its softer to hold, unlike the one from 1985 which was bulky and the cassette player took up pretty much most of the body.
The Toy can hold up to 40 stories on the harddrive, which can also be read aloud by kids via a phone app that works with him.
And right out the box, Teddy Ruxpin comes with 3 stories and 7 sing-a-long songs, so this should hold off kids for a little while, but in case it doesn’t, new stories and songs can be downloaded for an additional price.
This seems like it will be a great toy for younger kids and for those that love nostalgia and want to introduce their kids to the toys they grew up with.
So, Im curious if you grew up with this toy, and are you interested in seeing this new version? Let me know what you think in the comments section.
Then, onto some Retro Fashion news..
I think the fashion statement that put the nail in the coffin was with the Womens High waisted jeans.
This truly 80s trend looks like its back in style and I never thought it would come back, but its here.
With celebrities like Beyonce, The Jenner sisters, Selena Gomez, Justin Beiber and many other celebrities all on the 80s band wagon, I think were in for some interesting nostalgic fashion for 2018.
And as much as people harp on the millennials and younger generation leading the world in trends, I'm actually happy to see them trying to revitalize the 80s fashions like they are.
Theres of course the 80s crop tops, which has already became extremely popular.
Drop crotch pants too, which is all the rage, even though I rarely saw anyone but MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice wearing that style back in the day. Halloween costumes excluded of course.
Then we're starting to see the working class and Celebrities alike bring back the power suit.
And TONS of retro foot wear, especially with the resurgent popularity of Adidas shoes and the Nike Retro Jordan line of shoes from the 80s and 90s.
Theres also shoulder pads, denim jackets, fanny packs, funky fur coats, shoulder dresses, spandex, and even skinny jeans are back in style.
It seems like the 80s fashion boom is just getting bigger and bigger.
Then theres some news about the 2018 release of CREED 2 , and it looks like Sly Stalone has been hinting at a rematch between Rocky and Drago.
IMDB even suggests that Drago may be fighting Adonis in the Movie, but I really don’t think that will be the case.
Yes, I think Drago will be in the movie, and yes, Adonis will probably fight a Russian.. But we will just have to wait until we see some trailers to know for sure whats going to happen.
Whatever it is, Its going to be EPIC! And, I'd like to know what you think about CREED 2. Do you think Drago will be the main villain, or even in the movie at all? Let me know!
