Although you may not realize that it has been this long, the first Tickle Me Elmo was first introduced to the market back in 1996. While Tickle Me Elmo may have seemed like any other toy when it first came out, it didn’t take long for Tickle Me Elmo to become the must have toy for Christmas, and it literally created “Tickle Me Elmo mania” throughout the United States. Because Tyco wasn’t expecting Tickle Me Elmo to be so popular, there was a short supply of this toy, and as a result, people went to desperate measures to get one for Christmas (including paying up to $1500 for the toy, even though it originally only cost $28.99).
Since the original Tickle Me Elmo, there have been other Tickle Me Elmos that have been released over the years. The latest Tickle Me Elmo to be released is the TMX Tickle Me Elmo. The reason that the new TMX Tickle Me Elmo is special is because it has expanded capabilities from the first Tickle Me Elmo. While the original Tickle Me Elmo simply laughed and vibrated, the new TMX Tickle Me Elmo has a wide variety of features. These features include: three interactive tickle spots on his chin, tummy or toe, Elmo slapping his belly, falling forward with his butt sticking out, standing back up again, toppling backwards and kicking his legs over his belly. If you have a child who is around preschool age and you are looking for a gift that your child will love, you should consider the TMX Tickle Me Elmo because it is a wonderful gift for children in this age group (and since “Tickle Me Elmo mania” is no longer an issue, you won’t have to worry about paying $1500 for this Tickle Me Elmo; you can simply order it for a reasonable price from the Internet).
