Talking PBS Arthur Plush Doll

Everyday when you’re walking down the street and everybody that you meet has an original point of view…and I say HEY! (Hey!) What a wonderful kind of day!

As a 90’s baby, Arthur was one of my favourite shows when I was growing up and I used to watch at least one episode every single day after school. I was a bookworm as a child and relating to Arthur was very easy for me. I still remember the song, ‘Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card!’. As I’ve grown older and started collecting toys, I knew that I needed to include an Arthur toy of some sort in my toy collection. As I browsed Ebay I stumbled across this 10” 1996 Hasbro talking Arthur plush toy and knew that I had to have it.

This Arthur plush toy looks great and is absolutely adorable. Because he is a plush toy, his accuracy is clearly going to be limited and the only real inaccuracy to the television show that I have a slight problem with is that his eyes are not black dots on white lenses like they are in the television series. Regardless of this, Arthur’s glasses are very well made as they are little plastic glasses that are attached to his head but can pushed to the top of his head. He also has his classic yellow sweater and blue jeans with the addition of a little red bowtie just in case he has to run to a formal affair. The amazing thing about this plush toy is that the sound mechanism can be removed so that the plush can be washed and kept clean.

Since this is an older plush doll the sound mechanism is not the most advanced thing you’ll ever experience. The voice is not the voice of Arthur in earlier seasons, but it does sound similar to Arthur’s voice in the later seasons. Arthur speaks two phrases, “Do you have a pet?” and “Let’s read”.

If you’re looking to display this toy it may be a little difficult since he does not sit up. You will either have to lean him against a wall or shelf so that he is in a standing position or on his back. Although this toy does not have a million and one cool features, I think he is adorable, he makes me feel nostalgic, and is a wonderful addition to my collection. If you are a fan of Arthur at any age, I think it is worth keeping an eye out on Ebay for this 1996 Hasbro Talking Arthur plush toy because he is absolutely adorable.
