Elmo Live on Sale Today

Written on Oct 14, 2008 by Brian and filed under Fisher Price

Holiday shoppers, start your engines. Fisher Price’s Elmo Live goes on sale today. The $59.99 (retail not eBay) Elmo will likely be one of the most sought-after gifts this year. Given the rabid following of past Elmo toys, this latest, lifelike incarnation should be a huge hit with kids.

From Fischer Price:

In this truly life-like creation, for the first time ever, Elmo seems to actually be speaking as his mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo, 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. Approx. 12″H. Requires 6 AA batteries.
