My Review of Elmo Live

The new Fisher Price Elmo Live Doll has already become one of the HOTTEST Christmas gifts of the year 2008 for kids and tots. If you are lucky as me to preorder Elmo Live previously, you don't have to worry about "sold out" anymore. Since there is rumor spreading now that the Sesame Street Elmo Live Toy has been sold out in some local retail stores already (Remember what happend to Tickle Me Elmo and other HOTTEST toys by Fisher Price in the previous years?)

So I received my preordered new Elmo Live toy last week, and I have to say I am really impressed by this furry red doll. Fisher Price includes 6 AA batteries in the package, I immediately played with him after pulling out the “Try Me” strap near the battery compartment. Similar to the beloved Tickle Me Elmo (a.k.a.T.M.X Elmo), this Elmo Live toy will tickle if you touch his tummy, foot and back (sensors will be activated when you touch the right part of Elmo's body). He Moves, Talks, Dances, Tells jokes, and even sneezes! When he tells stories or jokes, he acutally moves his mouth in nearly perfectly sync with the voice. And you know what, he even act out during his story-telling. For instance, he will move his cute hands up to show he is shocked. If he reads to some part that's really funny, he would laugh out. This new Elmo Live doll is capable of so many life-like movements, that he looks like the real alive Elmo from the Sesame Street.

Another difference that sets Elmo Live apart from other "talking" toys is that he is quite interactive in away. For instance he will ask you for a hug and then say "thank you" if he's received one. Interactive features like this make Elmo Live an alive friend rather than a toy for kids, as if he or she is playing with a live creature.

I do noticed that Elmo Live toy can fall over sometimes if he doesn't stand on a hard, flat surface (He will ask you help him back up again and says "Thank You" if you do so. This could be a good way to teach good manners towards young tots. Also you can hear the mechanical sound when he moves sometimes, but I found this noise is not that loud and quickly forgotten since you see so many wonderful features from Elmo Live.

I have a good website to recommend for someone who want to secure an Elmo Live toy before it's gone. Visit ElmoShop.com to shop for Elmo Live or other Elmo related products.

Elmo Live Doll

Everyone loves Elmo, the furry red muppet from the Sesame Street. Elmo products such as Elmo toys and Elmo games, are always among the most popular gift ideas for the holidays (for kids and adults with a young heart in particular), as an Elmo gift can bring the brightest smile for almost anyone. The most desirable and HOT Elmo gift this year has to be the new "Elmo Live" doll released by Fisher Price last month.


Comparing to previous Elmo dolls such as the favored “Tickle Me Elmo" series produced by Fish Prices, this new Elmo Live doll can "actually" speak, because his mouth opens and closes just like the real Elmo does as seen on TV. In addition, he can also move his head and torsos automatically while telling stories and jokes. He can actually "act" everything out while he tells stories or jokes and does different voices of all characters. For instance, he is able to raise his hand to his mouth to show his fear or surprise in the middle of his story-telling. He will lean back with his head in order to show he is looking up at something higher than him.

Elmo Live is capable of so many realistic and subtle movements. He can even sneeze and says "Sorry" to you. When he accidentally falls over, this adorable new Elmo doll will ask you for helping him get back up! It is hysterical to see him doing tricks like these!

Besides the usual singing, dancing and story telling, the Elmo Live doll sometimes asks children to play games and other interactive activities with him. For example, Elmo Live will invite your child for a singing game. During the game, your child has to follow the doll's movements as he sings and stops.

To sum up, Elmo Live is the most sophisticated, articulate, innovative Elmo toys ever! Visit ElmoShop.com to learn more about Elmo Live or other Elmo products.
