2XL - 2-XL - Netflix

2-XL (2-XL Robot, 2XL Robot, 2-XL Toy), is an educational toy robot that was marketed from 1978-1981 by the Mego Toy Corporation. The toy was then re-introduced by Tiger Electronics in the 1990s. 2XL was the first “smart-toy” in that it exhibited rudimentary intelligence, memory, game play, and responsiveness. It won many prestigious awards. This little computerized fellow is a entertaining/educational toy. He’s a trivia expert; he asks the question, the kid punches in the answer, and then 2XL responds. It was infused with a “personality” that kept kids concentrating and challenged as they played and interacted with the robot. This made learning fun through use of jokes, funny sayings, and verbal reinforcements. During its time in the marketplace, and even to this day, 2XL is heralded as a very important step in the development of toys and in particular, educational toys. Two-decades after 2-XL was discontinued for manufacture, it is still remembered by millions of fans. 2-XL was considered one of the top 10 toys ever developed by Playthings Magazine because it could educate.
