Product Description

In 1996 Independence Day rocked the box office, the "Macarena" began its trek up the charts before landing on wedding dance floors, and Elmo first showed the world his predilection for tickles

Tickle Me Elmo is remembered as one of the most difficult-to-find toys of the 1996--or any--holiday season.

Ten years later, T.M.X. Elmo (the X stands for 10) was unveiled to the world on Good Morning America on September 19. The most secretly guarded toy of the pre-holiday season, if not all time, T.M.X. Elmo was shown only to a few toy-industry insiders prior to his release. This secrecy didn't stop thousands of pre-orders from piling up. Though now that all is known, the obvious question is: Does T.M.X. Elmo deserve the hype?

When you first take him out of his box, T.M.X. Elmo doesn't seem all that grand. He looks after all, well, like Elmo. Covered in the soft red fur that one would expect from everyone's favorite Sesame Street character, T.M.X. Elmo stands an unimposing 14 inches tall. Even worse, he feels all hard and plasticy under his fur. But this Elmo is not meant for cuddles or hand holding or swaddling.

This Elmo is all about tickles. Sit T.M.X. Elmo down and hit one of his three "tickle" spots

There's one under his chin, one on his belly, and one on top of his foot. Yes, this Elmo wiggles just like he did 10 years ago, but that's just the start. Elmo slaps his belly, falls forward with his butt sticking out, stands back up again only to topple backwards, kicks his legs over his belly, and then stands right back up, all while laughing hysterically.

"Again! Again!"

Elmo gets more outrageous when you "tickle" him a second time, and the fun really starts with the third "tickle" session. Elmo's fancy moves include falling over on his side, shimmying on his back, and what seems to be everyone's favorite: lying flat on his belly slapping the floor next to him as if he can't stop laughing. This Elmo has a serious case of the giggles. His trademark voice builds into a fit of histrionics, endless snickers that drown out everything but an unintelligible cackle until even Elmo admits he has had too much.

T.M.X Elmo requires 6 AA batteries, which are included, although these wore down quickly in our review copy. Elmo also has an on/off switch, so the tickles can be brought to an end when more than just Elmo has had too much. He moves a lot and needs a little open space for the full performance, although he does use his arm to determine his orientation periodically and stand back up if nothing is in the way. He gets a little stuck on uneven surfaces but for the most part performs amazingly well on carpet. On hardwood floors, Elmo works, but he occasionally slams his eyes on the floor in a way that seems it should halt the show.

In the end, T.M.X. Elmo is undeniably a trooper. Early reviews show that this turbocharged version of Tickle Me Elmo will follow the stellar path enjoyed by his much simpler predecessor. --David Morel

Thanks for coming up with such brilliant idea, it looks not as montrous as Furby, especially with that red coating. I got this for my girl friend, for her to cuddle and to hug. This is simply one of her favourite items now. would recommend anyone to get one. Cheers, Edmond

Another Fantastic Elmo!!, 01 Mar 2007
This toy is brilliant. I bought it for my 3 yr old son's birthday last month. Think I get the toy out more than he does mind, but it really is great! When I bought it i was saying that it is never gonna be able to stand back up on it's own, but true to what it says, it actually doea, amazingly stand back up on it's own. Well I was well impressed! I bought him a twin set of elmo's at xmas, a doctor elmo n a potty training elmo, n I thought they were great, til the tmx. All I can say is, whatever next, n no doubt the next will be worth buying, just like this 1. I'd also recommend this for adults, not just kids, no more soft cute cuddly teddies, get the TMX Elmo!!!

TMX Hysteria, 11 Feb 2007
After ripping open the wrapping on Christmas morning my son let Elmo loose and we were laughing along. Brilliant for kids & adults alike. Only Elmo can bring a smile to your face when you're really in the dumps.

This is not just a toy for the kids. Elmo is fabulous. He makes a bad day good and a good day even better. Buy one and get a dose of laughter, the best medicine! ;o)

Again, again!, 11 Jan 2007
I got this for Christmas and the box itself talks to you when you lift up it's flap. This is such a great toy, the whole mechanics of it vibrating, shaking, slapping, rolling and wiggling its feet on the floor is fun to watch. Elmo's voice is just so fun to listening to especially when he goes 'wooohhh' after the 1st or 2nd time.

A downside of this toy is that it only has 3 different 'movements' and not much past that. Nevertheless if you need to cheer yourself up, this toy will do the trick, even my mum wouldn't leave it alone for 3 days straight!
