When I worked at Suncoast Video, I was tormented by seekers of the Deluxe Talkboy cassette recorder with voice changer, created for "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" by Tiger Electronics. I tell the full retail tale in my recent podcast about the movie that launched Toymageddon in a NJ back-alley:
https://retroist.com/retroist-home-alone-2-podcast/
But who could blame the eager would-be buyers? I mean, this toy had it all: Easy one hand operation! Voice change slow motion switch! Includes two-sided tape with "real" lines from the movie! Built-in retractable microphone! Fun to use!
“What kind of hotel allows a child to check-in alone?” A hotel fooled by a Talkboy. A great toy from a great movie. Get one today and start creating your own practical jokes with hilarious phrases from the movie!

"Do?" Wendy chuckled to herself, "You don't have to do anything! Because..." she pressed play on a nineties Deluxe Talkboy cassette recorder and player she was hiding behind her back. An instrumental version of 'God is Bigger' began playing, "Hylia is bigger than King Gleeok, bigger than Ganondorf, or the monsters of Hyrule; oh Hylia is bigger than King Gleeok, and she's watching out for you, you fool!"
What!???
The Stalfos replaced my skeleton?! How did that happen? What do I do now?

There are some songs that are hard to imagine being written. Some songs have just always been in the air. Somebody didn't sit at a desk and try to figure out how to rhyme "stand beside her" with "guide her," did they? Turns out somebody did. And that same guy also put pen to paper on "White Christmas," "Puttin' on the Ritz", "There's No Business Like Show Business", “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)", "Happy Holiday", "Cheek to Cheek" and somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,500 more. Irving Berlin: New York Genius is a fantastic biography of the author of those songs that's actually been out for a few years now but just made it on to my nightstand. The book chronicles the 101 years that Berlin lived which saw him writing music through two World Wars, the birth of recorded music, radio, movies, and television. And through it all, he was constantly pushing, still trying to prove that he had it in him to top himself and create that next big hit. So driven to continually produce, Berlin refused to listen to anyone else's music, shutting car radios off immediately after hoping into them. Long after he had given up chasing that next hit song, he still maintained an office that he reported to at least three times a week. Berlin was devoted to music and the public were devoted to Berlin. If the story of this songwriter sounds at all interesting, I have even better news for you: the author who tells his story in New York Genius is James Kaplan, a biographer who has a truly unique way of delivering facts and data without making it sound like an infodump. His two-volume biography of Sinatra moves around at a clip, and does an incredible job of putting you right next to Frank at every turn. It can be a little tougher with Berlin, with records from the 19th century being a little spottier, but you’ll never notice as Kaplan fills in the gaps of those early years with superb analysis of his earliest published songs. Irving Berlin: New York Genius is an inspiring, lively journey through one of America's most important songwriters and a reminder that there's always somebody there behind those tunes we take for granted. New York Genius
I guess I'm not... sad that the iPod has been discontinued, but I am feeling something. There were many, many items that I asked for while growing up, some were cool (Boba Fett's Slave I), some were incredible (Tiger Deluxe Talkboy being a real standout) but of all the things that were put on Christmas lists and saved allowances for, I've got to say, my first iPod is probably the thing that most lived up to the hype. It truly changed everything about the way I listened to music, and broadened my knowledge of music, more than any other thing. I also played hours of that stupid Breakout game. I recently found my last iPod, a 5th generation one, in my sock drawer of all places. I dug up a cord and plugged it in, and lo and behold, it still worked. It now sits in my car as an external music hard drive, where it will live out the remainder of its days until it stops working some day. What a nice little gadget.

Thrift Store Find. . Found this gem at the thrift store- the Deluxe TalkBoy developed by Tiger Electronics, (parent company is @hasbro ). . And it still works! All the features are in working order. I had to pry out the oxidized batteries though. . Interesting thing is that there was a tape in it of someone rapping. I don't know who it is, but who knows, maybe it's a famous rapper and I have their first 'demo". I'll have to listen to it some more and see. 🤭🤭 . The TalkBoy first appeared in the movie Home Alone 2. Lost in New York. From what I researched, the TalkBoy was actually a non-working prop made just for the movie. But after the movie was released, people were wanting the TalkBoy. . So naturally, the TalkBoy was made into an actual working product by the movie studio and released for sale in November 1992 in @toysrus stores. Pretty neat...👍 . #movies #toys #cassette #thriftstorefinds #movie #thrifting #movieprops #classic #analog #toyphotography #thriftstore #cinema #retro #thrift #film #toystagram #thrifted #moviescenes #vintage #hasbro #filmmaker #throwback #homealone (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cLQKPJI_t/?igshid=fg3bwclyjbbk
