Subject: 80's toy??help!

Written By: Cleo on 09/12/04 at 3:52 pm

Does anyone remember an electronic handheld toy, very similar to Major Morgan in that it was a toy in the shape of a person. Mine was mainly red, had a face with glasses on and you could slot various game cards into its chest and press the images on the card to play the game. This has been bugging me for years, so any help would be really appreciated!  ::)

Was it a small children's toy? 

Could it be Alfie from Playskool?

Welcome aboard Dan.

I know the doll you are talking about but I can't remember the name of the thing.  I'll look around but in the meantime someone here probably remembers.

Cuba huh?

What part?  My wife's family is also from Cuba.
