Product Description
Elmo has impressive automatic stand up action keeps you going while he continues to giggle and say, "I got tickled". It has three modes of giggle action - Press its foot or belly and hear "You tickled Elmo." TI can go from standing to sitting. Then, it falls back, sits and stands straight up again - the whole time giggling away and flapping its right arm. Touch its belly again, and it sits and rolls from one side to the other. It ends up on his back, kicking his legs, flapping his arms and giggling with the words, "You did it again." It ends his hilarious giggle session by standing up and letting out a deep sigh. This Elmo has a few more phrases: "Again, again," and "Give Elmo a break, please," and "I can't stop laughing". It require six AA batteries, which are included and it measures 15"H.
Editorial Review
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.
Elmo gets more outrageous when you "tickle" him a second time, and the fun really starts with the third "tickle" session
| 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

 Waste of money December 31, 2008
We don't buy fad toys but this was gifted to us. I thought he was cute. But there are several things I don't like about him. He takes 6 batteries! When he "talks" and he's wiggling the mechanical noise of him competes with his voice. His "tickle spots" are buttons that really you have to push pretty good if you are a little kid. If you play him on a hard surface than his kicking feet might startle your little one as it did mine. My child was concerned for Elmo lol, she thought there was something wrong with him when he fell over. The one we were given it seemed to have short outs...it would be going and then stop and lightly pushing on him he'd rev back into action. We exchanged him with a new one from the store, same issue. Nice design flaw. Overall, my child is kinda bored with him.
 Bella's First Christmas December 16, 2008
I purchased this for my granddaughters first christmas. She is 10 months and loves the elmo song. I hope she enjoys it as much as we have already. My husband and I first saw this on our local television news last christmas and we can't seem to stop laughing when it is out of the box.
 It makes an impression. December 15, 2008
I gave this toy last year to my 2-year-old granddaughter, whose household included a couple of turtles and cats. Never had she seen anything like Elmo, however, and she was simply terrified of him, even long after we had disabled and immobilized him. Moreover, the impression seems to have remained because, recently upon trying to renew her acquaintance with the curious creature, we found she was no more receptive of his attempts to entertain her. I guess the toy is potentially useful for encouraging children to love all creatures regardless of their faults and eccentricities. And the experience, in turn, may teach Elmo to be a bit less aggressive and overcompensating in his mannerisms in front of small children, some of whom, it's good to know, have not become so jaded by terrifying actions as to be insensitive to them. Fred Rogers never had to behave like Elmo to secure a child's confidence and trust.
Perfect November 17, 2008
Really great product, great price and excellent service. Could not be more satisfied. Dan H.
If you like Elmo October 1, 2008
If you really like Elmo you will really like this toy. There are only three different laughs and animations that this model does but it is enough to give a much need chuckle when it is needed most. Thank you Elmo!
