Worlds of Wonder was a toy company in the 1980s, specializing in interactive talking toys (usually using a book and tape system). Their lynchpin character and franchise was the popular Teddy Ruxpin, and their properties subsequently expanded to include the Talking Mother Goose, "The Talking Mickey Mouse Show" (with Goofy), "The World of Snoopy" and interactive dolls like Julie, as well as more diverse efforts (notably the Lazer Tag game). The Teddy Ruxpin toys were designed by Alchemy II, a group of designers and technicians led by Ken Forsse.
