VIDEO: The new T.M.X. Elmo doll

Murdock brings us video of the new T.M.X Elmo doll. It replaces the original Tickle Me Elmo doll of the 90s - this time with a reported $40 price tag:
The latest Elmo has "tickle spots" on its chin, tummy and foot. When a child tickles Elmo once, the doll laughs, slaps his leg, falls down into a sitting position and then stands up while laughing.

The second time Elmo is tickled, the doll repeats that pattern, but then falls backward and starts kicking his feet while laughing. It then stands up and asks to be tickled again.

The third time Elmo is tickled, the doll goes through the first two patterns and then rolls over onto its tummy, thumps his hand on the floor, rolls onto his back and stands up again.
Go on to read Murdock's story of infatuation with the doll. I shared it with a psychologist and she told me to stop tickling her. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
