Little history travel
Elmo first appeared on Sesame Street in the early 70s, but his character was not fully developed until the mid 80s. Since then, the red muppet with the singsong voice has been a favorite with toddlers and preschoolers, largely because he seems like a preschooler himself. Elmo’s innocent curiosity and childlike speech earned him hordes of young fans, and he was eventually given his own segment, Elmo’s World.
The character’s popularity reached fever pitch in 1996, when Fisher Price launched Tickle Me Elmo. The furry doll would wiggle and vibrate with tickled, much to the delight of his many preschool fans. The next decade saw several variations of Elmo toys, but none of them matched the extreme popularity of Tickle Me.
And then came T.M.X. Tickle Me Elmo. Unveiled in September of 2006 to celebrate Elmo’s 10th anniversary, this newest Elmo takes the trademark giggle and turns it up a notch. Elmo is still ticklish, but he now does much more than just wiggle and giggle. When tickled on any of his three tickle spots, the 15″ tall Elmo now falls forward, falls backwards, slaps his tummy, slaps the floor, and kicks his legs in an escalating round of hysterical laughter. Amazingly, TMX Elmo stands after his laughing fit.
