Elmo Live Video Review

Topic:

As reported earlier Elmo Live started shipping to those who pre-ordered early enough. Gizmodo published a nice review featuring a couple of videos showing what Elmo Live can do and you can judge for yourself on how funny Elmo Live really is.

Elmo tells jokes and reacts to touching his nose and other body parts. On drawback that gets obvious in the videos are the rather loud motors that make Elmo do his gestures. They sound a little annoying and ruin the fun a bit. Read more

Elmo Live is I4U Top 100 Holiday Gift Tip #2

Topic:

We continue our big Top 100 Holiday Gift Guide with our gift tip #2. As announced yesterday we are counting down the 100 days until Thanksgiving day Sales start with a tech-gift tip each day.
Our second Holiday Gift Tip is in the toy category. Elmo has been a hot holiday gift toy for the last couple of years. Each new Elmo doll is more capable and more hilarious than the previous one.
Elmo Live behaves almost as he does on TV in the Sesame Street series. Elmo moves and talks extremely "realistically" as you can see in this early video.

Elmo Live waves his arms, sits, stands, and even crosses his legs, all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs, and playing games. Like with last year's Elmo edition, Elmo is actually more fun for adults than little kids. Elmo Live will sure induce the fun in your Christmas Eve night or morning. Read more

T.M.X. Elmo Not So Hot With Kids Says ConsumerReports

Topic:

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. Read more
