He Also played other cassettes too. I remember playing a areosmith tape att in the alf doll! Lol

[@LaughItupFuzzball70]

I loved Alf it was a massive guilty pleasure for me, felt it was an early attempt at 2 level humour kids/adults as you make reference to John. Really enjoyed very fond memories! Cheers Dan.

[@boojwahz]

Wow, that talking alf was awesome. You should upload a video of him just talking.

[@ultragael7221]

A really nice show. Alf has a great personality! Also nice review!

[@BackForwardPunch]

When Alf started talking it was way cooler than I thought! Th mouth matched pretty well! As a kid, I would've thought that was awesome, used to love Alf.

[@denBlackie]

Long time fan of you Gamester, I also collect Alf stuff, would love to see the rest of your collection :)

[@MelindaGross-w5k]

Love that show

[@jasonfish7499]

I still have mine 0ver 30 years

[@TheInsanemonkeyboy]

Alien productions is the company that owns and produced ALF.

[@LoppySue]

I always thought ALF stood for Alien loving family

[@SOUPENE]

oh man that was a trip down memory lane my brother got the talking alf for christmas the year that toy came out.... wow wish he still had it :(

[@ryann7786]

The thumbnail image for this video is hilarious... Kind of makes it look like you are... ahem... Popping your cassette into poor Alf...

[@Musicball]

My little brother had this. I had an Alf shirt. Lol

[@jackhusko4953]

i got a talking alf one recently

[@tuckgaming8083]

Do you know what the storytelling Alf cost brand new in the 80s?

[@Crimson_Logic]

I loved Alf when I was younger. Only ever got to watch it as reruns. That's what happens when you're born in 1989

[@Orieus]

thats awesome man, i had one when i was a kid, but my lil cousin went to town on it one day and destoried him. I still have my original 18inch, hes in very good shape, no stains, his fur is still pretty awesome. I took care of him, he never really left my room. I also never washed him in the washing machine, which a lot of friends that had him mothers would wash them. I remember seeing my buddies after it was washed and it looked like shit lol. I usally just combed him and cleaned him with a damp cloth, even back then lol. This past weekend at a antique shop in toronto canada, i found a very mint 16inch version for 12 bucks!!! glad to have added him. Got another vintage 18inch coming to me next week, another local find, this one is very super clean as well. These things were made to test time, wish the newer plush toys would stand the test of time like Alf did. Great job with the review man! keep it up!

[@AngelStratocaster]

Love it

[@scottvska]

What does an Alf toy have to do with Nintendo? It wasn't manufactured by Nintendo.

[@VintageToycollecters595]

The world doesn’t fucking care! 🙂

[@jcau99]

I don't remember the talking Alf but I always wanted the regular one. Never got it though. I believe I had a glass with him on it but I may be getting confused with Spuds Mckinzie!

[@wildsmiley]

I remember collecting all four of those Burger King ALF plushes. Every time we'd pass a Burger King, I'd tug on my mom 'cause I wanted to complete the set. McDonald's may have had iconic Happy Meal toys like those Changeables (so awesome), but I always loved Burger King more, and back in the 1980s, I remember we got quite a few cool items from them that you would buy seperately: ALF plushies, Masters of the Universe cups and those amazing Star Wars glasses (I only remember having the Empire Strikes Back ones, though).

[@Orieus]

dude i totally agree with u Burger King had the best toys, i had the star wars glasses and the alf puppets as well.....so awesome!

[@ianmichalski7997]

wildsmiley I had the ALF rocker shown in this video from Burger King and also the Chef ALF

[@kennyjensen1618]

I want to know if you can put other tapes in alf besides the recommended ones that come with him

[@christinaowens9823]

I remember Alf and my mom bought me this Alf doqull because he had just came out with cleceo I think yeah I was right it sure was but anyway I was so excited about it that I couldn't wait to get home so that I could play with my Alf Christina Owens

[@CommodoreFan64]

OMF GOD!!!! I have one sitting on my bed, and have had it sense i was a little kid, but does not have the voice box either as my mother got sick of hearing it, and threw it out the window, and also have the hand puppet that says "Cooking With ALF" LMAO!!

[@NEStalgiaholic]

That's funny man...good stuff!

[@stevarino1989]

lol my dad (or my uncle) even had an ALF doll--I think he gave it to my sister who was a baby/toddler at the time of the run--but I don't think it was the one that talked. I was turning 1 when the show ended and didn't see an episode until I was 11. Now, thanks to reruns, I love it and I have all 4 seasons (the UNCUT versions from Europe). So this is similar to Teddy Ruxpin? Never had one but I definitley know what they are. And wow . . . I would be a little creeped out by these types of dolls if I was a kid. Just imagine waking up in the middle of the night and it starts talking by itself.

[@Nintendofan-yk4cd]

ALF rules! I think my cousin had that same doll. Wasn't really sure if it was the talking doll or a regular doll. I have pretty much all of the dolls that Burger King came out with. Think I only need the "Cookin' with ALF" doll. All of 'em sitting proudly in my room. I have a number of the ALF comics. Those were always fun to read.

ALF was a fun show, i think i'm only missing 1 or 2 of the comics that was released here in Norway, also have a ALF that you can put on you car window with succtioncups (not sure if that is spelled right)

[@PinataTime]

Do you know if other cassettes work on it I know you mentioned it on the video but have you tried it?

[@alipomales312]

[@johnkoester7795]

I never herd of alf and I never had an alf doll or something what should I get the plush version or the cassette one

[@randywatson8347]

It looks like Ronald Reagan

[@MrHKP2000sk]

i had the talking plush mickey mouse

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

i had a big ALF, but mine didn't talk.

[@paulb4uk]

Very cool used to love alf quality show

[@jizmoglobin666]

My favorite part of this video is the first couple minutes where Alfs limp corpse is just chillin in his ToyStore coffin.

[@Jeffsportscards]

Alf rocks

[@budzmanson2747]

How much are they worth?

[@JesseH76]

Yeah, I remember ALF, who doesn't remember him if you grew up 80's style. I just couldn't ever get into the show, it just came off as too cheesy to me. I would of been a preteen then, maybe I should give it a second chance now that I'm older.

[@ObscureMikalo]

I still have my ALF!

[@alipomales312]

[@MrPapabush]

I had the Sesame Street talking dolls. Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the grouch.

[@mistergrahamjohnrowan5247]

I used to have a talking Alf when I I was a child I still love the talking Alf doll

[@RainePhoenix]

I never had a talking Alf or Teddy Ruxpin, but I had a talking Big Bird, which was essentially the same thing. It played cassettes and "read" stories to you.

[@rcmcghee]

I had a set of ALF trading cards as a kid.

[@kingstarseed7084]

I use to have one of them I loved that toy

[@quesscollectoroftoystoyexp2805]

THESE ARE VERY HARD TO FIND IN THERE BOX

[@davidshock7782]

I want one

[@elway41177]

Cool video my little sister had Teddy Ruxpin and Big Bird just like this. I wish I knew back then. I would have asked for a talking ALF. Great vid Gamster81!!! I just subscribed and gonna catch up on some great vids you have on here.

[@BobbiThrashoholic]

Wow, that's an awesome toy. Don't know if I would have wanted it as a kid though, since I recall being quite creeped out by ALF then

[@fireheartis1]

Alf still shows on The HUB Network at night. Love watching those old episodes again. I wonder what a reboot would be like? Do you think they could pull it off?

[@eazyd34]

I'm really impressed how you kept all your stuff from your childhood. I'm your age and I have nothing nostalgic except a MR. T head piggy bank. Love the Channels G81 ~DW

[@JesseH76]

I know what you mean, I kind of get mad at my parents for not teaching me to respect the things they bought me. But, I guess it's not all there fault. lol I had a ton of He-Man toys, which I sold to buy Transformers when they came out. I ended up giving all my toys away to my younger cousin, which he sold at a yard sell, typical story. And I sold my Atari to get a NES, sold my nes to get a SNES, and when I got my SNES I never played my Genesis and sold it for a $100+games to some young kids who went to my church. I now have nothing to show for all of those purchases.

[@eazyd34]

Thats like most people my friends. Atleast you have fond childhood memories. Cant put a price on that. Im really thankful I grew up in the era I did.
