Editorial Review:

Product Description:
There's nothing that quite reenacts those warm and fluffy childhood memories like Sesame Street. Now you can see Elmo Live in your very own living room. Elmo Live represents a huge technological step forward with realistic speech and a wider range of movement. He can throw his head back, wave his arms, stand up, sit down and even cross his legs. You'll be blown away by how awesome this toy is. Hear him tell captivating stories complete with actions and voices, and listen to him sing some of his favourite songs. Featuring high-tech in-built interactive sensors, Elmo is capable of reacting to touch, voice and more. Tickle his belly and he'll giggle, squeeze his nose and he'll sneeze! Elmo Live can ask for hugs, blow you kisses and in true Sesame Street style tell you he loves you. With different activation points all over his body, the fun will just keep on going.




Rating: - I just don't get it...
My 2yo daughter was bought one of these as an early Xmas present.

I just don't get the incredible overwhelmingly-positive reviews that this thing has received. I mean, I know elmo is somewhat more ingrained in to US culture than that in the UK but overall, the toy is a) expensive and b) of limited appeal. Specifically it's hard to understand what he's saying sometimes, there are a limited number of actions/speec programs and apart from pressing his stomach/foot/nose/back etc, I can't see how this is going to last beyond a few days.
I'm not into being the arbiter of my child's toys - but at £50+ I am seriously considering selling this and getting something more worthwhile (daughter hasn't yet got to play with in in earnest - yes, maybe she should be the judge but, seriously, I can't see a future). But in the meantime, I'm confused...
The reviews are so consistently good I'm either missing something or stuck in a cultural gap or there are a lot of Fisher PRice underlings ... Read More

Rating: - elmo rocks
I must say that I am not easily impressed but Elmo is absolutely the best toy ever I am 46 years of age and have to keep reminding myself that this little guy is not real.

Rating: - BEST TOY EVER!!!!
I have never been so impressed. Looked at Elmo in the shop but it doesnt do him justice. He laughs, tell stories and jokes, dances, stands up and sits down on his very own stool. My 18 month old daughter is facinated by him (I am too). BEST TOY EVER!!!

Rating: - So Much Fun !!!
We bought this for our son's 2nd Birthday and he thinks it's brill. He laugh's and talks to elmo as if he is real. Our eldest son also thinks it is very funny. Just a shame he only tells two stories! He does sing and dance which is also great, but the way he tells stories is the best.

Rating: - Great Christmas with Elmo Live
This has to be one of the best toys anyone could own, Not just for children, He is very entertaining and will have you laughing in no time, When he falls over he ask you to help him up, He knows when he is up or down, He also asks you to scratch his back, squeeze his nose and he will sneeze, Also tell storys as well as jokes, Will keep you happy for hours of fun, Even goes to slepp when he get board
