Do you remember having the TALKBOY ?

Do you remember having the TALKBOY when you was a kid or getting your kids this toy ?.

Featured heavily in 1992’s Home Alone 2, where Kevin McCallister uses it to wreak havoc on his family and hotel employees, the Talkboy was the bestselling Christmas toy in 1993. It’s a chunky silver-coloured handheld voice recorder. It records onto regular tape cassettes. It’s best-loved features are that it can play back the voice recordings in a slow setting (resulting in a very deep adult voice) and a fast setting (resulting in a Chipmunk-sounding voice).

No but I wanted one so bad, and lusted after it in FAO Schwartz

😆 I think a lot of people did at the time
Maybe pick yourself one up now to reminisce 👍🏼

If I remember correctly, the Talkaboy did not exist at the time the movie was made. It was just a one-off mock-up made for the movie. It was put into production after the movie was released do to popular demand. If they had the foresight to have that product out in time for Christmas 1992 it probably would have been an even bigger seller.

Is that true ?
