Whoever here doesn’t remember Tickle Me Elmo please raise the hand. I’m pretty sure no one will, since our little friend here is so known anyway. Well, Elmo is ten years old, and today, Fisher-Price has decided to introduce the new T.M.X. Elmo. Brace yourselves and go get ‘im quickly, though, for it is rumoured that the laughing toy, priced at $39.99, will soon know a massive shortage (and are these already popping up on eBay, hmm? Are they?).
This new Elmo reacts to a “tickling” as soon as you turn it on. Its arms flap, it falls to the floor, rolls around and simply can’t stop laughing.
T.M.X. Elmo has three tickle spots on his chin, tummy or foot. When you tickle Elmo once on any of the tickle spots, he starts to laugh and slap his leg twice, then falls down into a sitting position and rocks himself back up to standing while laughing.
When you tickle him a second time, he repeats the pattern, then sits down again and falls backwards, kicking his feet while laughing even harder. And on the third tickle, he rolls over onto his tummy, thumping his hand on the floor in laughter, and then stands back up again.
