The T.M.X. Tickle Me Elmo is already hard to get and is sold out in most places.

ConsumerReports wanted to find out what the hype around the T.M.X. 'Tickle Me Xtreme' Elmo is all about and had several kids exposed to the animatronics furry doll.

The 1 year old kids have been actually scared of this Elmo. Most older kids lost interested pretty fast. Read the full review for more details.

Kids. They just do not appreciate the scenes when Elmo slaps his knee and sits on the floor, laughing hysterically or rolls over onto his tummy and slaps the floor giggling. I could watch that 100 times. Oh, I see now, the T.M.X. Elmo is not for kids he is for grown-ups.

The price that Fisherprice set for the T.M.X. is an affordable $40. On Amazon.com the price is already over 3 times as high with stores offering the TMX Elmo for $149.99. On eBay the T.M.X is under the 10 most popular items, which makes things not easier on getting your hands on one. Buy it Now prices are around $100.

T.M.X. Elmo requires 6 AA batteries and is approx. 15 inch tall.
