Smith Brands announced the debut of talkBAK®, a handheld, screen free voice recorder toy that lets kids record up to 60 seconds, play it back instantly, and flip the pitch high or low for laugh out loud playback. TALKBAK® is being showcased at Toy Fair New York at Booth 6909.
Designed for immediate, easy to understand fun, talkBAK® turns everyday words into big reactions—perfect for jokes, skits, silly characters, and creative play. Say it. Play it. Warp it. With a simple feature set, four collectible colorways, and a convenient rechargeable power system, Smith Brands expects talkBAK® to be among the most talked about new items at the show and a strong performer across toy, gift, and impulse channels.
“I grew up with grandfathers on both sides of my family who loved laughter and big reactions,” said Josh Smith, Founder of Smith Brands. “That love of shared moments is part of our DNA. talkBAK® brings that energy into a simple, screen free toy—press record, press play, flip the pitch, and the whole room reacts.”
A Modern, Screen Free Toy Built for Shareable Fun
talkBAK® delivers a timeless play pattern—record and playback—enhanced by pitch shifting fun kids immediately understand and want to share. It also includes an audible “Low battery” voice warning that plays when buttons are pressed, giving kids a clear heads up, so they aren’t surprised when it’s time to recharge.
talkBAK® features a USB C rechargeable battery and includes a charging cable for convenient power at home or on the go.
