Yeah I found it awhile ago, but when I did it didn't look very exciting so I don't want it anymore :p

Title: Re: Old pictures of my toys
Post by: Candice on Saturday 14 July 2012, 02:06 pm: Alphie is an educational robot toy first issued by Playskool in 1978. He was re-released as Alphie II with updated features I think in the mid-80s. And then updated again a couple years ago. He teaches colors, numbers, counting, etc. I remember it being very easy, so I think it was probably for kids even younger than I was when I got it.

The evolution of Alphie:

And looking through Google images there appear to be other variations. Found something called "on the go" Alphie and Deci-bot.
