I’ve heard the Elmo Live Doll is the hot toy this Christmas season. I saw one for myself at Toys R Us this past weekend. It was sitting on a shelf next to the Elmos of Christmas past. I touched his foot and he blew me a kiss. Very nice movement.
Then out of curiosity I tried out the other Elmos. You can really see how they’ve improved the mechanics of the little guy. Elmo Live is much more realistic than the rest. Since he’s the newest, he carries a heftier price tag…$60 compared to $25 for the others.
My 2-year-old loves Elmo. My son comes running whenever he hears the little red guy on TV or my computer. But my boy has never had an Elmo of his own. This year that will change. Elmo Live? Well, no. My son really likes the Elmo theme song, so I bought the thought-for-the-day Elmo who sings it. Plus I’m frugal.
