Mr. Microphone, Microphone, Mr. Mike, or Mike is a microphone and tape recorder toy made by Playskool, appearing in Toy Story and Toy Story 2. His additional feature is an AM/FM radio tuner. He is a minor supporting character and one of Andy's many toys. Mike was based on the real life toy manufactured by Playskool in 1991, known as "Playskool Rockin' Robot." A real-life Mike was made in response to his appearance in Toy Story. Mike is a toy tape recorder with a microphone made by Playskool. Speaking into the microphone will amplify one's voice. Mike is a multi-talented toy as he is not only a microphone and tape recorder, but he also is a tape player and has a built-in radio. It is unknown if Mike can talk. If so, he has never had a speaking role. Mike's name is derived from mic, the abbreviated form of the word microphone. Much like Mr. Spell and Etch, Mike gets around by waddling. It is unconfirmed where Mike lives in Andy's bedroom, but it is assumed that he lives in Andy's toy box or inside the closet. It is even possible that he may live under Molly's crib. He was obtained by Andy sometime prior to Toy Story. He appeared in Toy Story and Toy Story 2. He doesn't appear in Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4.
