This Elmo is all about tickles.

Sit T.M.X. Elmo down and hit one of his three "tickle" spots.
There's one under his chin, one on his belly, and one on top of his
foot. Yes, this Elmo wiggles just like he did 10 years ago, but
that's just the start. Elmo slaps his belly, falls forward with his
butt sticking out, stands back up again only to topple backwards,
kicks his legs over his belly, and then stands right back up, all
while laughing hysterically.

"Again! Again!"

Elmo gets more outrageous when you "tickle" him a second time,
and the fun really starts with the third "tickle" session. Elmo's
fancy moves include falling over on his side, shimmying on his back,
and what seems to be everyone's favorite: lying flat on his belly
slapping the floor next to him as if he can’t stop laughing. This
Elmo has a serious case of the giggles. His trademark voice builds
into a fit of histrionics, endless snickers that drown out
everything but an unintelligible cackle until even Elmo admits he
has had too much.

T.M.X Elmo requires 6 AA batteries, which are included, although
these wore down quickly in our review copy. Elmo also has an on/off
switch, so the tickles can be brought to an end when more than just
Elmo has had too much. He moves a lot and needs a little open space
for the full performance, although he does use his arm to determine
his orientation periodically and stand back up if nothing is in the
way. He gets a little stuck on uneven surfaces but for the most part
performs amazingly well on carpet. On hardwood floors, Elmo works,
but he occasionally slams his eyes on the floor in a way that seems
it should halt the show.

In the end, T.M.X. Elmo is undeniably a trooper. Early reviews
show that this turbocharged version of Tickle Me Elmo will follow
the stellar path enjoyed by his much simpler predecessor. --David

From the Manufacturer

"T.M.X." Elmo will tickle America’s funny bone with three
interactive tickle spots on his chin, tummy or toe. When kids 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 they tickle him a
second time, he repeats the pattern even more, then sits down again
and falls backwards onto his back and starts kicking his feet while
laughing even harder. He then stands back up and asks to be tickled
again. And on the third tickle he absolutely lets loose going
through the first two patterns and then rolling over onto his tummy
where he starts hitting the floor with his hand in gales of
laughter, then rolling onto his back, standing up again, and ending
with a deep sigh. Requires 6 "AA" batteries.
