Elmo TMX
Around the Holidays, there is always a new toy that comes out that is supposed to be top secret and just everyone has to have it. This year, it's Elmo TMX; which means Elmo Tickle Me Extreme or Elmo Tickle Me Ten. Even the case is Top Secret.
The Elmo TMX is really cute and is hilarious to watch. There is a video on the site. Tickle him once, and he starts laughing hysterically, slaps his leg twice, falls down into a sitting position, then rocks himself back up. When you tickle him a second time, he repeats all the movements he did before, plus he falls backwards, and starts kicking his feet while laughing even harder.
The third time you hit his tickle spot, he goes through the first two patterns, rolls over onto his tummy, and starts hitting the floor with his hands ending his laughing attack with a deep sigh.
I remember getting up at 4:00 am the day after Thanksgiving trying to find that hard to find toy on sale at the local toy store. I've looked online for Elmo TMX and they are already sold out in most stores. I'm sure people on eBay, that were able to actual purchase this, are making a killing.
