Hoping T.M.X. Elmo Investment with Pay-off
As soon as Pete Stollwerck of Mukilteo glimpsed the plush red T.M.X. Elmo doing his tickle-induced belly-laugh on ABC’s “Good Morning America” show, he knew he should buy a few.
He ended up buying 104 on the Internet auction site eBay, not for his grandkids, but as an investment in furry, red bellies.
Mattel Inc. unveiled T.M.X. Elmo Sept. 19, a decade after the original Tickle Me Elmo doll spurred desperate parents into fistfights. The T.M.X. stands for both “Tickle Me Extreme” and “Tickle Me Ten.” Tickle the doll and it dissolves into a giggling fit, rolling around on the ground and standing again.
