Elmo Live debuted at the Toy Fair in New York yesterday. Mattel says Elmo Live "elevates feature plush to a new dimension of realistic, interactive play that makes you laugh, of course, but also does so much more." Based on the video it looks like Mattel delivers on their claim. Elmo Live is starting to look more like the actual muppet on television. He waves his arms around, sings songs, tells stores and plays games. When Elmo Live tells a joke about how he "just flew in from Sesame Street yesterday and boy are Elmo's arms tired" he also waves his arms around like he is flying. Elmo Live will be released in mid-October of this year - just in time to send parents in a desperate panic to get one for a holiday gift.
