Talking toys have filled the shelves for decades. Most of them repeat a handful of phrases over and over again.

But what if you could have a teddy bear that you could have a real conversation with?

Well, it’s not as impossible as it might seem.

A couple of inventors have created a teddy bear for kids – or adults – who could use a furry friend. They’ve called it Supertoy — and it actually chats with you.

It’s just a prototype — so, no, you can’t have one yet.

The World’s Aaron Schachter speaks with one of its creators, Ashley Conlan.
