Anyone ever heard of this? I had one in the very early 90s. It was this model of a robot you put cards into, the cards had pictures on them and you had to push the right one, there were different sets for spelling, math, etc.

I Had a Robot Toy Like That, That You Would Put Audio Cassetes Into and It Would Ask You Questions and Then You Would Press Either A, B, or C on The Robot To Get The Right Answer! :D
i had one in the late 70's early 80's. My Ralphie was blue and you put an activities card into his belly and he helped to teach you things.

Yeah, that's what mine was like. I think mine was red. I probably still have it somewhere, there are old toys I had when I was little that I haven't unpacked since I moved.

I had one of those when i was a young kid. Mine was whitle and it had like a redish orange face with black eyes and these buttons on the side where you stick these cards in the front of it and made choices. I think playskool made it. That toy and Teddy Rupixn was my two fav learning toys of the late 80s early 90s

Yeah.. it was Alphie..... my bad.
I had one when I was really young... before Kindergarten, and that would have been around 79-80. I remember my cousin getting one in the late 80s early 90s and it was a different style, so it was produced for that long. The two were not compatible. Here's what my Alphie looked like
the white one is commonly refered to as Alphie 2 produced in the late 80s. The blue one was a 70's toy.

I got mine in maybe 1984 or 1985. I only remember because I hadn't started school yet (started in 1986), and we had it before we moved to Virginia (1984) and it was the "white one". Alphie II by the looks of it. Sucks I left mine at my babysitter's when I was about 4. Never got it back.
I didn't know they were made into the 90s either.

Yeah, that's the exact one I had GIJoefan, just remembered a few details (primary color, name) wrong.
I think I got mine in the 90s, might have been 1989.

We got one of the white ones for christmas in about '83 or '84. Whatever year the whole cabbage patch kids craze was. I was about to post that there was no right answer on the card pictured above - but I figured it out. Guess I was smarter when I was a little kid :oops:

Yeah I had an Alphie II when I was a kid.
OMG!! I just remembered this toy! One of my cousins had one. I've seen both versions.
I also remember another robot... It wasn't the 2-XL, because I remember that also... But I want to call it My Pal 2? It had a translucent body and a cap and it talked and said "yo." :lol:

I had one of those robots. Didnt play with it much though, unlike a certain robot named 2-XL.
