Originally a prop in the movie Home Alone 2, the Talkboy cassette tape recorder was released in 1992 by Tiger Electronics, but sold poorly because it lacked the voice changing feature shown in the film. The Deluxe version with the speed control was released in April 1993 at a price of US$ and was a massive success, with millions of units sold. In 1995 a pink Talkgirl version was added. This commercial was recorded in 1994 from WCBS-TV in New York City (via their over-the-air VHF channel 2 signal) and recorded on VHS tape at EP speed with linear mono audio. De-interlaced and converted to 60fps using QTGMC.
