I bought this quite a while ago and have kept it stored in its box. I've checked that it works with batteries. It records your voice and then repeats it, but the tone is low and it sounds like a bear, which is cute. It seems like it was sold online before, but I think it's a rare, retro item now... When shipping, I will send only the stuffed animal and the instruction manual in a Yu-Packet Plus box. If you would like the original box to be included, it will be an additional 300 yen.
