I just caught word of the new TMX tickle me Elmo and after doing some digging on it, I've come to the conclusion that who ever made it must be a sick person.
My cousin got one for her kids and all of them, even the oldest (age 7) are afraid of it. It leads me to seriously question toy makers and their ideals of what would be appropriate. Perhaps the toy would be more acceptable if it were in the form of something older children would play with. Maybe a robot, specified for ages 9 and up.
Here are a few links to look at I've found for the TMX Elmo.

What do you think about the TMX Elmo? Thoughts and or criticism about the design of the doll and my opinions are wanted.
