    That is so cool. I've always wanted to get a 2XL but it's just never presented itself, even after all these years.

      I've given up trying to get one from Ebay. I always get outbid. I like playing the online one, so I know I would like to own the toy.

        Maybe it was less development than figuring out how to save money on later runs? An all yellow label would take less press runs as would having labels to stick onto a box rather than a full 4-color bleed of the normal box?
        It's all good!

            What exactly is a 2XL? I read the thing and looked at the pictures, but what is it and what does it do? Is it like an Atari or something?

              WOW! That is great! I am a big fan of 2-XL. He is hilarious!!!!

              That yellow card around the buttons is definitely oddball. Nice find! You are rockin', homeboy!

              I am angling to get the Mexican Ensueño version, but I really want an original box for him to match my USA version . . . still waiting.

                It played tapes that were designed to be educational or entertaining. Some asked questions and you pressed the buttons to respond. Think "Teddy Ruxpin"

                  That's really incredible. The Museum has never done right by 2-XL.

                    I love robots and 2-XL is no exception. I have always gotten a kick out of the fact that his name is "To Excel" but spelled in a cool robot form. Way to go on this find!

                        A Mego Museum Trading Card would seem appropriate

                          My faves are the Science Fiction tapes. You can totally tell that this is a 70s kids toy by some of the things on those tapes.

                            Didn't seem to load right for me. I would "Insert" a tape and it would load and then nothing would happen when I clicked over the buttons.
                            It's all good!
