Toys and Games Reviews of TMX eXtra Special Edition
Customer Review: Lots of smiles...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not a parent: I purchased this for my nephew's Christmas present (he's 7 months old). I had some doubts as it seems to be a toy for "older" kids.
The packaging is great and was a lot of fun and I'm a sucker for "cute".
My mom took it out of the box right away for my nephew and everyone stopped opening Christmas presents to watch the Elmo laugh and roll. It brought a lot of laughter to all of us. I feel that it's a big, heavy toy for a "stuffed animal". I do not think that it's a "cuddle" toy. But, my nephew is a pretty stoic 7 month old and was fascinated by the movement and wasn't trying to go after the toy with his sticky jam hands to eat it or anything. Since this is my mom's first grandchild, I think we are all just pretty amazed with the toy and enjoyed the novelty of it. Personally, I think the laughter would get to me if it was all day, but it's at my sister's house and not mine so I'm alright with that. My sister thinks it's the best and loves the cookie monster one I got too. I was pretty happy with the toy for the price, the novelty, and the "cool aunt" factor I got.

This Elmo toy has put the fear of God into my daughter who avoids like it's a minion from Hell. The first few times she activated him she watched curiously and a little apprehensively. After that she just cowered behind my leg and cried until he was out of sight. Every so often I bring him back out to see if things have changed for her but they haven't. Now she sees him and cries instantly with a cry that's not just that of complaint but actual fear. I hate seeing my daughter like this so this toy is gone.
Strangely she likes Elmo on TV and watches him gladly, but this doll to her represents fear.
Also, after the first few tries the doll started behaving erratically and would get stuck in certain positions (or just freeze mid sentence) or just activate on its own without anyone touching it.
Not good.
Customer Review: Again! Again!

I bought this toy for my son's first Christmas. He was far to young (7.5 months) to push the right spots on command and figure out Elmo's special tricks, HOWEVER... he really loves this toy! He smiles and laughs at it...he has learned to crawl towards it... sometimes he does hit the right spot and is so proud when Elmo giggles! I do wish the body was a bit more padded, however the animation built into this toy is amazing! This toy is also on the LOUD side... we have to play it in a spacious room, it scared my son in his crib or a small room. A volume control would be a nice addition.
Overall, my whole family enjoys this TMX eXtra Special Edition Elmo! We play with him several times a week!
Customer Review: Fun, Funny, and a Bit Boring
Summary: 4 Stars
I rated this product very high, but need to clarify that in my mind it's a very short-lived toy and once the initial "check this out" amusement has faded it will be relinquished to a corner shelf to live away it's days.
Good: it's funny as all get out. I found myself laughing and chuckling every time I pressed it's tummy. The batteris seem to last quite a while. Reasonable price.
The not so great: it's hard (not at all cuddly like you would expect Elmo to be). It's loud. It gets boring very quickly.

If it wasn't for the mechanical problems, I would have given it a higher rating. I ordered one, only to have it not work properly. It would not complete songs, actions, etc... After a few days, it wouldn't even fall back, it just banged it's head on the floor, over and over. I returned it and ordered a replacement. This one is working so far, yet, I can't get it to do the special things properly. It does cut off before it's supposed to, a lot! After two of these, I'm done, and won't bother with trying out anymore of these.
