The Talkboy is a portable variable-speed cassette player and recorder manufactured by Tiger Electronics in the early 1990s. It was originally conceived as a non-working prop for the 1992 movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, used by the main character Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin). In 1993 it was made into a working retail version, the impetus of which was a letter-writing campaign by young fans of the film. Sales were largely driven by this movie tie-in.
