I invested in tickle me elmo last year for my daughters first birthday. I must admit the only reason that I bought it was because I loved elmo so much when I was younger and I saw it advertised laughing. My partner knew the only reason that I wanted to buy it her was for my own benifit too. I bought this from my local wearhouse and it only cost me £20 and it was a limited edition model. Inside the box was a code for the internet to be able to win prizes. At the time I did not have the internet so I put the code in a draw and have lost it since which is typical of me. The Elmo stands approximatly 11 inches tall and is a perfect replica of the ...  Read the complete review

I fell in love with Elmo when I went to America in 2003, when I heard about Tickle Me Elmo TMX coming out I just had to have it, I persuaded my partner to buy our 18 month old son it for Christmas, who unlike me hated it and screamed whenever it went near him, I however found it hilarious and still do. So Elmo begun his career on Sesame Street many many years ago, in 1970 to be precise and over time the character hasn't changed, although I didn't know Elmo was a female until last year, noone told me that!! Tickle Me Elmo first came out in the height of a new reign for Sesame Street back in 1996, it was one of the biggest selling toys of its year, ...  Read the complete review

Well I haveto agree with comments already raised about this toy, it`s definetly more for the adults, I actually bought this as a present for my girlfriend the first time we met real-time (We first met and fell in love, that`s another story that I`ll probably write one day) But anyways, on showing her the joy`s of birkenhead, I took her into the Woolworths where she spots this Elmo Toy and instantly falls in love with it`s cute sounding giggle and jiggling body... So she wasn`t going to leave the store without one.. Anyways (We`ve since got married and I`ve now bought her the Elmo Let's Pretend Toy too, Anyone who has this Elmo too, will know the following..) ...  Read the complete review

This big, red but very sweet, monster is another of the Sesame Street interactive toys. I think that he was first available 2 years ago and I managed to get him last year for half price as a new one was now on the market (Rock and Roll Elmo). Anyway, this Elmo certainly likes to be played with. You start off tickling him by pressing his tummy and he laughs and shakes. He then asks you to play with him some more by saying: · "Tickle Elmo" where you press his tummy again and he shakes and laughs as before. · "Toss Elmo" where you have to throw him up in the air or turn him upside down. He responds by laughing, shouting ...  Read the complete review

I got Elmo for Valentines Day last year. A bit of a change to chocolates and flowers, but it was a sweet present! I opened up the box, and luckily there was 6 batteries included, he is a real battery guzzler! Elmo takes all 6 AA batteries. 4 in his left foot and 2 in his right foot. As I opened the box and gave him a hug, Elmo is not quite as cuddly as I would like him to be! I understand that this is because he has all of his mechanical things inside him, but he looks so cute you do kind of want to pick him up and give him a cuddle! Elmo is about 40cm tall and is covered in red fur. He has a big smiley mouth and two large plastic eyes on top of his ...  Read the complete review
