Fisher-Price announces T.M.X. Elmo "eXtra Special Edition"

It looks like those in need of a new Elmo toy for one reason or another have a new model to put on their wish list this holiday season, as Fisher-Price has just announced the new and improved T.M.X. Elmo "eXtra Special Edition." This one apparently boasts all the "eXtreme" features of the regular T.M.X. Elmo, plus some "extra-special fun," including hidden surprises that can only be found if you "play, pose and tickle Elmo in the right sequence." If that sounds like the challenge you've been waiting for, you'll be able to pick one up on November 13th for the same $40 that the original version set you back.

Why do we care about elmo so much? And "in the right sequence" is what we have women for no?... Kind of creepy.

[Jake E. @ Nov 8th 2007 2:46PM]

Hmm... I think people are already lining up at my local Walmart. eBay maybe?

[Mike @ Nov 8th 2007 1:54PM]

Is he wearing bling?

[Taylor @ Nov 8th 2007 1:54PM]

Hah, i love the glory hole in the box...

[kidqwik @ Nov 8th 2007 2:20PM]

Muhahaha! Guess Elmo likes to b tickled down and in there. >:)

[CosterMonger @ Nov 8th 2007 5:20PM]

Elmo: "oh boy"

GLORY HOLE!

I sure hope it is photoshopped.

"play, pose and tickle Elmo in the right sequence"

This is not how kids should learn about the birds and the bees

I guess they have to do something considering they failed to deliver a "killer" toy this season.

It's going to be boring this Black Friday... No Wii's, no PS3's and no TMX Elmo to fight with fellow shoppers for :(

"eXXXtra Special Edition"??

It comes with a glory hole, and hopefully it doesn't have lead paint anywhere. Nothing worse than getting heavy metal poisoning via anonymous sex with a red furry.

Step One: Cut a hole in a box.

[mmh @ Nov 8th 2007 2:16PM]

Step Two: Tickle Elmo's tummy with....

I think I would be happy to watch it blend. Who's laughing now, Elmo?

[bombastinator @ Nov 8th 2007 4:04PM]

I assume that burning TMX Elmo helps to unlock some of these hidden features, right?

[dspaletta @ Nov 8th 2007 2:42PM]

Nov. 13th? Damn, eXtra special Elmo or Assassins Creed...oh the decisions!

[Jonathan @ Nov 8th 2007 2:47PM]

I know the code:

head, head, stomach, stomach, left arm, right arm, left arm, right arm, back, ankle

[Donald @ Nov 8th 2007 2:48PM]

Can I play Doom with it?

Meaning, can I shoot it with a rocket launcher?

[mvtt @ Nov 8th 2007 3:03PM]

Will it burn just as well as the TMX though ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlFQKcXCRos

a bunch of sick puppies read this blog...

"including hidden surprises that can only be found if you 'play, pose and tickle Elmo in the right sequence.'" -- Oh, dear. It's a platformer built into a doll.

Revelations 4:7: "4:7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a weird red furry toddler that embodied the Spirit of Mario".

[Mike @ Nov 8th 2007 4:20PM]

step 2 put some junk in that box

[Rick @ Nov 8th 2007 5:40PM]

does it come with fantasy (GHB) beads for the little kiddies?

[js @ Nov 8th 2007 6:21PM]

But will it blend, that is the question?

[tcardone05 @ Nov 8th 2007 6:29PM]

The biggest question: is there lead?
