TMX Elmo can be found no more in most parts of the U.S. (my mom checked Target two days after the launch and nada), but they’re still plentiful in the UK. I met my first TMX Elmo in person today and it was a riot! He waved his arm at me, jived for me, and even jumped when I said jump. Check out the YouTube video I made at the Brent Cross UK Toys R Us.

There’s a countdown and all on Good Morning America as Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts are preparing to debut the new TMX Elmo. According to their sources, only 50 people have seen the new Elmo before he is revealed this morning “Around the Watercooler” on GMA.
A drumroll, and out of the safe comes what Diane Sawyer and her co-workers refer to as “Tickle Me Elmo Extreme.” He stands and laughs. He slaps his knees. He falls down, stands up and scoots across the table, turns on his belly and slaps the table, then gets back …read more
