Part 5. Just WOW! Worlds of Wonder that is! Amazing hearing how these deals were struck to mass market Teddy, it's really an interesting tale. I have to thank you for doing so much leg work, doing all this research and interviewing all the many awesome individuals involved! So thankful for how detailed this series has been. I actually had dreams/nightmares of Teddy and Grubby heads on sticks!

Highlight for Part 5 for me is hearing from insiders like Hicks, and especially Brower - have long wondered how the airship effects were created! Thank you for doing such detailed research and talking to all these people - I would love to have autographs of every person mentioned. (I have several including Forsse, Baron, Ryan, Katie Lee, Koensgen, and a couple others.) If only we could have a Teddy Ruxpin convention or something! :bear:

I've thought about that before! Our fandom is so small but I do think it would be kind of fun :D

More great installments! Enjoying all these never heard details, so grateful for all the research that was done. Part 6 highlight is the Teddy Ruxpin Bible details, I really poured over all the handwritten notes about the evolutionary history of the creatures of Grundo. I really must get a copy of all this information! My mind exploded when I saw the creatures excluded from the main stories, such as the Doldrums, Demons, and Gremlins.

Part 7 was really a depressing story that most of us knew, but I never heard about the end from the people on the inside. Highlight from Part 7 is definitely the Muppet Magic concept, it was great hearing all these Henson details I never knew! I really really wish the Muppet products had come to shelf, I would LOVE to have a Magic Travel Trunk. Also, I will be searching for an Alchemist's medallion for the rest of my life! :heart: :bear:

Part 8 was good because we got to see and hear a great deal of Ken on video - that's awesome! I loved all the Branson Bear details, and all the artwork installations, and with movement, that was great. Highlight for me was seeing him greet kids and signing bears - My heart leapt when I saw Ken signing Branson Bears on the back shirt, under the vest. I rushed to my collection to check my bears, of course no signatures. I'll be looking for a signed Branson Bear! :bear: :heart: This whole series has just been CHOCK FULL of details, so much information!

Sad to see the series come to an end. It was SO good! There really was a ton of information, and I think I need to start it again from the beginning so I don't miss anything. Ken really had so many amazing accomplishments, I'm glad that you celebrated he and Teddy in such detail. Thanks again for doing so much research, and not whittling it down to a fluff piece. Part 9 highlight for me was the BackPack Toys section, I am really interested to know what is the deal with the blue backpack Teddy is wearing? :heart: :bear:

Par 9 was a great conclusion. I loved seeing Amber and friends :D
