• Squeeze the other hand for funny noises
• Squeeze his mouth and he mumbles
• Turn him upside down and he talks backwards

Condition Report

New in original box.

The plush itself appears clean, bright, and well preserved with no obvious play wear observed. The interactive talking functions were tested and are working at the time of listing.

The original display box remains structurally present and displays very well, but does show normal age-related storage and shelf wear, including light scuffing, edge and corner wear, creases, and some wear around the open display sections.

Because this is a vintage electronic toy from 1997, continued long-term electronic performance cannot be fully guaranteed. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the condition description.

A Personal Note from the Seller

Real Talkin’ Bubba is one of those wonderfully distinctive 1990s electronic toys that immediately captures the era. His expressive face, orange sunglasses, colorful clothing, and unusual interactive features make him a fun display piece even before turning him on.

Finding one still housed in the original Tyco retail box — and currently working — makes this a particularly nice collectible example.

Shipping & Handling

Your item will be carefully packed to help protect both Bubba and the original retail box during shipment.

Extra care will be taken around the original cardboard packaging to help minimize movement and crushing in transit.
