Manufacturer's Description
Terry Turtle is a motion-activated swearing toy turtle. He features more than 25 unique shocking outbursts--you have been warned!
New in town is the most outrageously potty-mouthed reptile on God’s green earth. Terry Turtle just can’t contain himself.
Terry might look like a cute sweet little turtle but the guys at the factory realised Terry Turtle had a serious problem. Programmed to say nice things about flowers and fluffy bunnies, a glitch in his system meant that he just couldn't keep the curse words, whistles and chirps from slipping out.
Choose from PG and uncensored 18+ settings, and select either motion-activated or always-on random mode. His arms move and his head pops up when swearing. Includes 3 x AA batteries for demonstration purposes only, so new batteries may be required.
Box Contains
- 1 x Terry Turtle
- 3 x AA batteries (for demonstration purposes only)

Novelty may soon wear off!
Terry the turtle stands about 16cm high, very well made in light and dark green plastic and comes with batteries. He has severe tourettes and when talking his head comes up and his arms wave.
He is quite loud. An internet search will find plenty of videos of him in action, both censored and uncensored. He has 2 switchable modes, PG and 18; the PG mode is definitely not suitable for young children, it is really a 12. The 18 mode is definitely that!
He has a switch to select between motion-activated and press-to-talk. On press-to-talk there is a button on his chest; motion-activated also has a random mode so you can't, for example, put him on a shelf to insult passers-by as he randomly shouts out, spoiling the surprise. The sensor is angled upwards so he works best when placed lower down.
I think the novelty may not last and I was disappointed that he couldn't be used a security guard with tourettes.
Short Lived Joy
Well......what could I possibly say to convince you to buy this item?
....it's a swearing turtle! I can't think of anything that would make this a must buy, but novelty lovers will snap this up!
The idea is funny, what guy ( or girl :-) ) wouldn't find this funny. The look is brilliant! It looks pretty innocent with it's paranoid eyes.
The execution...well what do you expect. It swears and moves its arms about, and that's about it.
It gets pretty boring, pretty quickly. I must admit that it had me cramping with laughter when I first used it. The voice they gave it is superbly funny and makes it much more enjoyable.
But to be honest, it doesn't take long for you to get bored with swearing. I think I might leave it out for when the 'older' relatives come around, but other than that....to the cupboard with it!
It's made pretty well. I can't comment to much on durability unless I through it around to see what makes it break. But from the very plastic look/feel of it I would think that hitting the floor accidentally a few times would probably bust it.
Nice novelty item, but the longevity is non-existent.
He's a very naughty boy!
It's a toy turtle with tourettes syndrome. That's it!
Terry Turtle has a dysfunctional family which includes Habit Hamster, Dark Shark, Drunk Skunk and Nympho Newt and all are out to shock and grab your attention. Terry is made of tough two-tone green ABS plastic and appears to be quite durable. He has a switch to turn on his remote sensor - this also activates his random mode - and a switch to set his mode to Off, PG or 18+. There is a Try Me push button on his chest along with the speaker and remote sensor.
I found his remote sensor to be somewhat insensitive and his random outbursts a little too frequent; his limited vocabulary gets quite tedious after a very short time. You can find out much more about him on his own web site terryturtlexxx where he will tell you his life story and give you an idea of what he actually says. He has a very squeaky electronic American accent which can be heard in a video clip on his web site.
If you are looking for a toy turtle that swears then I would rate Terry as four stars, as a gift for the wife, girlfriend or mother then he would have to rate one star! I've actually rated him with an average of three stars as some people will love him and others will hate him. He does occasionally apologise for his bad language but basically he is a very naughty boy! Whether he will become a cult figure or quickly fade into obscurity only time will tell. He will be popular with the South Park generation, though!
