Product Description

In this truly life-like creation, for the first time ever, Elmo seems to actually be speaking as his mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo, from Sesame Street. His mannerisms are right on target as his head moves back and forth as he speaks. He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. Children can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmos foot, tummy, back or nose. Approx. 12"H. Includes 6 "AA" (LR6) alkaline batteries. Item#: N4673 Ages: 18M+

AN ELMO TOY ADULTS CAN LOVE
This is one amazing toy. I'm not sure of the exact height. I forgot to read that part, but my guess is 18 to 20 inches. So to little toddlers it will appear to be playmate size. The only reason I even know about this toy is because my 5 year old niece has one and I saw a demonstration. It is a very life-like animated entertainer. He tells stories, sings songs, sits on a provided stool, crosses his legs, mouth moves in sync with talking and singing. If you knock him over he'll say something like "Oops! Elmo fell down" and when you pick him up he says "You're my best friend". Build a little stage. Gather the little ones together. Elmo will provide a wonderful show. I think it takes about 10 minutes for Elmo to go through his whole routine. I'm considering buying one for myself.

Elmo Encore Rocks!! :) :)
Everyone will love this one. We all thought the original was good-This one is GREAT. If you don't smile or laugh then you must be a grouch. My grandaughter will absolutely adore this one as well as everyone else. 10 stars for laughter and durability..:) :)

Fun interactive toy
After you get past all the safety latches on the elmo live encore you will be amazed at how life like they have made elmo in comparison to some of the other versions(rock n roll elmo and limbo elmo come to mind). One thing that I consider negative is that his speaking/singing/instrumental voice is loud. For a toy that doesn't travel, and is meant to be watched, and poked it doesn't seem an appropriate volume. I would hate for someone to scream a short story at me. Second, his body is kind of hard plastic so he is not snuggable, I would have thought that they would have fixed that from the first version, but I guess they didn't have enough time to add some stuffing. A suggestion would be to add some clothes to him, maybe an infant coat, if you want to snuggle with him. Although his jokes aren't funny, the fact that he has crickets chirping and then laughs at himself is definitely funny. This toy is just entertaining, and it doesn't need to be anything else. I can't see anyone learning anything from it, maybe if he had interactive question answer that would be more helpful, but when they create that it probably wont be worth the price they want to charge. The mechanism is quieter than the first version, or else they just raised the volume on the speaker, but either way it is less noticeable. All in all I think it is a great toy if you can get it at a discount, not worth the original price. We purchased it for forty nine ninety nine, and I can live with that.
