Please help me find a replica of my childhood bear (photos)

I owned the teddy bear when I was really young, so it was probably made sometime right after 1985, which was when I was born. The earliest picture I can find of him is from when I was 3-4, so it might be that I owned him around that time (1988-1989). He was brown and had a paw that would record small sound clips and had a little light over his heart (just a button, not any shape but circular) that would light up orangeish red when you would squeeze the paw to record anything. The paw that you squeezed had a brown (could have originally been red and turned brown with love) patch (maybe velvet or something like it?) over it. He had an open mouth with a red tongue and weird eyes, with flaps of fabric under the eyes that almost made him appear like he had dark rings under his eyes. His eyes were brown. He was about a foot tall when sitting.

His recording mechanism broke after my aunt used him for a pillow and I think my mom threw him away a few years ago while cleaning things out.

I thought he would be easy to find since I don't think that bears that recorded things were all that popular before Build-A-Bear but I can't find him anywhere because the search results are full of modern bears that record and playback sounds.

Here is a photo of him: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p47/casilena/teddybear.jpg

EDIT: After months of searching, I found a hit on ebay! Turns out, he was a Tattle Talk Friend called Teddy The Bear by Well-Made Toys.

I had a bear like that. I'm not sure if he's just like that, but he recorded and repeated. I have another one now, but he's not a Tattle Talk bear. I named mine Corduroy after the book. How cool is that? My new old bear isn't the same bear, but he's similar. If you look in the collector's lounge under old and classic bears, you can see his picture. And actually, repeating bears as I've always called them were quite popular in the 80s, but they're a pain in the you-know-what to find now.
