The “rise of the machines” continues with this week’s official launch of Mego’s 2XL Cobot (companion robot) aka the My2XL | AI Robot for Kids.

When we last caught up with Mego — the company that pioneered 8-inch action figures and the original 2-XL back in the 1970s — plans for an updated 2XL had just been unveiled. Now those plans have come to fruition as 2XL arrives on Amazon marking Mego’s foray into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI).

Designed to engage and educate, the 2XL Cobot offers a myriad of features aimed at enriching kids’ play experiences. Boasting AI capabilities, it facilitates verbal interaction and social skill development, fostering vocabulary growth through engaging conversations. And, with a repertoire of more than 30 languages, the 2XL aids language learning by seamlessly switching between dialects during interactions.

One of its main features is its ability to co-create personalized stories and adventures with kids, igniting their imagination and creativity. Parents can rest assured of their child’s safety during playtime, as the 2XL ensures secure conversations with built-in parental control guardrails and leading data security protocols.
