Yak Bak
Yak Bak is the general name given to a series of handheld electronic voice-recording line of toys developed by Ralph Osterhout at Team Machina for Yes! Gear (a.k.a. Yes! Entertainment) in the mid-to-late 1990s. Several versions of the toy were developed which include the Yak Bak, Yak Bak 2, Yak Bak WarpR, Yak Wakky, Yak Bak SFX, and the Yak Bakwards. Some of these models also came in pen form as part of the "Power Penz" series. Geared toward six-year-olds, the Yak Bak was intended to be a compact, more affordable competitor to the Talkboy introduced by Tiger Electronics in 1993.〔(Yak Bak and Talkboy ) Children of the 90s (February 2, 2010).

Gear product line with the introduction of Yak Bak,〔(10-K/A SEC Filing - Yes Entertainment Corp ) Edgar Online (October 24, 1997).

By holding down the "Say" button, a person could record six seconds of sound, during which a light would shine to indicate that the Yak Bak was recording. Afterwards, the "Play" button would enable the person to hear what was just recorded. This was the basic premise for all subsequent models of the toy, each one adding a slight variance to the original. The television commercial for it showed a boy sitting in a living room recliner while his sister came by and started fussing at him. Then he kept playing his "Is not!" quote using the Yak Bak at his sister, while his sister kept saying "Is too!". Following encouraging sales of its 1995 line of minirecorders, YES! introduced four new Yak Bak products for 1996 and lowered the products' prices to a more affordable range.〔(YES Entertainment Corporation Company History ) FundingUniverse.com.
