THE best Elmo toy EVER…I hope

Posted on 16. Sep, 2008 by Jill in Baby and Infant

Elmo LiveI don’t care if it isn’t Christmas for another 99 days (ish, who’s counting…) but I want Santa to bring me one of these! The latest incarnation of Sesame Street’s Elmo is as alive as you could make him. Elmo’s mouth opens and closes just like the ‘real’ muppet when he talks, and his mannerisms are…well I believe it’s the real Elmo in the video – but you tell me what you think.

He sits down, crosses his legs, tells stories and jokes, sings and even hugs you. Hopefully we’ll get one to review in the fuzzy flesh around the toy’s launch in October, but until then – if anyone’s got to play with one, let me know what you thought of it

The toys will be available from thetoyshop.com for £59.99 from mid October.

In the meantime – this is a video from the Fisher Price unveiling earlier this year:

I’m not sure why, but he kind of scares me

I can’t wait to get this for my neice. Half because she will love it, but half because it will annoy the hell out her parents

My daughter might be too young to fully appreciate him, but I think Santa might bring me, I mean her one anyway!

Just recieved Elmo Live, which I purchased for my daughters first Christmas (I know, I’ll be the one playing it, she’s not even old enough to be interested in the box or paper yet!)

Anyway, first thing that struck me was how noisy the motors are. It’s really dissapointing, something I hadn’t considered at all..

But, I guess it’s for the kids, and they probably won’t notice!

Other than that, it’s fantastic!!!
