Elmo Live!

Just like the phenomena of Tickle Me Elmo in 1996 and TMX Elmo in 2006, there's already a buzz about the newest Sesame Street sensation.

Like it's recent predecessors, this latest Elmo toy, Elmo Live is forecast to be a sell-out this Christmas. It is simply the most life-like Elmo toy yet.

'Simply magical' best describes the new Elmo Live. In this latest version Elmo seems to actually be speaking, as his mouth opens and closes just like the real Muppet from Sesame Street. His mannerisms are right on target as his head moves back and forth as he speaks. He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs, all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. Children can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo's foot, tummy, back or nose.

Chris Byrne, aka The Toy Guy®, has described Elmo Live an industry changing toy. "Elmo Live delivers a rich play experience that is engaging and interactive. It's as close to being with Elmo in the fur as any toy has ever been," he says. "We anticipate that this will be sold out very early in the season, so taking advantage of this pre-sale opportunity will be a key strategy for anyone who wants to score one of these toys."

"The other Elmo toys made you laugh and dance, but Elmo Live really touches you. It's so amazingly alive," says toy expert Jim Silver.

Elmo Live is suitable for children 18 months and upwards and is available at Amazon.co.uk, Prezzybox, Play.com, Early Learning Centre, thetoyshop.com, Hamleys, Littlewoods Direct and Amazon.com

Webkinz
Webkinz are incredibly cute beanie-like plush toys in the shapes of animals - elephants, cats, dogs, pandas, cows, pigs, tigers, bears and hippos to name but a few! Like Beanies, Webkinz are highly collectable and only a limited number are made in each design - after a certain time the Webkinz toy will be retired.
