The All New Tickle Me Elmo - T.M.X. Elmo Extreme Revealed!

Tuesday September 19, 2006
The T.M.X. Tickle Me Elmo (where X stands for Extreme) has been unveiled by Fisher-Price. After all the months of secrecy, T.M.X. finally made it into the open. Long lines of people queued up in front of toy stores like Toys 'R Us and Walmart to be among the first ones to grab a T.M.X. Elmo! The T.M.X. Elmo is in commemoration of Tickle Me Elmo's 10th Anniversary.

So, what's so special about T.M.X.? Well, according to Fisher-Price, T.M.X. Elmo has three interactive tickle spots on his chin, tummy and toe. As soon as you tickle Elmo, he laughs and slaps his leg a couple of times, before falling down laughing, and then, before you know it, he's standing up again. Another bout of tickling leads to T.M.X. Elmo falling backwards and kicking his feet while still in splits! The third time is the funniest! T.M.X. rolls onto his tummy and slaps the floor while rolling in laughter, and stands up finally ending his antics with a deep sigh.

If the initial reports are to be believed, T.M.X. Elmo is really something special! The furry red Elmo's movements are very sophisticated and high-tech. T.M.X. Elmo is all set to become the holiday season's hottest toy. Retailing for $39.99 in stores nationwide, the T.M.X. Elmo is probably going to run out in a matter of a couple of months - way before the holiday season!
