Description
It's the same as the Alphie above, however, the version that we had was white. I think it was the second edition? Hence the Alphie II. I could not find one on any site.

Oh, man, I remember Alphie 2 that I saw once when I was 4 back in 1986!
I LOVED my Alphie 2! It was the closest thing I had to a computer for many years. After a while it's face stopped lighting up though... tried to fix it as a teenager and couldn't get to the lightbulb.
I LOOOOOOOVED APLPHIE i still remember what the buttons smelled like :)
The whole reason I looked at this site was to find Alphie~ I am so excited to see this! Thank you!! He was so much fun! definitely my favorite toy!
I was too young to remember my Alphie much, but I do remember I loved him! Not sure if he was I or II, probably I, I guess.
I guess I did have the II, since the I is blue.
Oh my gosh, what a flash back! I didn't own an Alphie, though remember playing with Alphie as a child at a friends house. If I can remember correctly, as it has been so long, Alphie's face would flash on and off when you got the answer right.
I had the white one! =) He was the coolest. Man I wish I still had my alphie II
i ahd an alphie 2! loved him! should look into getting another one for my toy collection. dont you think your kids should enjoy all of the original toys you used to play with? instead of the not so great remakes?
I had the white Alphie 2. I received it as a Christmas gift. I'm going to try and get one for my son.
good lord, i totally forgot about this guy
I had the white one when I was 6 years old in 1988. It was so awesome! I played with it a lot!
i had one of these as a kid, and still have one (that i found at a goodwill). the illusion is pretty much ruined, though, since there is a discernible pattern that all the quiz cards follow...you can get correct answers every time, even with no card inserted. it's a pretty simple pattern, but it was educational back in 1988 when i didn't give a crap how it worked.
I loved this toy! I actually saw the movie "Juno" last night, and there is one of these in the background of one of the scenes. I asked everyone I knew, and searched all over the web to find its name! Yay!!
That is so great!! I too saw JUNO and the whole time I couldn't remember the name! I had one and thought it was the greatest ever!!! Awesome memories!! I think EBAY might be my next stop!!
OMG.. ALPHIE2 was my constant compaion as a little girl, he was a great learning aid.
That is too funny! I just saw juno last night and saw alphie in the background and couldnt for the life of me remember his name! It looks like juno has brought him back without knowing. I too just left ebay!!
I guess I'm late on the whole Juno Alphie thing. I have been trying to find and figure out the name of this toy for over 10 years now. I kept asking people and my family and they didn't know what the hell I was talking about. I'm so glad I saw Juno.
i had one of these as a kid i loooooved my Alphie
i played with this toy allll the time morning noon and night.
We just are now getting around to cleaning out a storage unit from when we moved that had all our childhood toys. I hope this one is in there!!!
