We're almost afraid to see the videos that are going to start popping up once these hit the market.

probably the same lame microwaving, setting them on fire crap that's polluting Youtube.... :p

Anyway... they officially have run out of ideas. Just what the world needs... Elmo Hulk hands.

[Colbynfriends]

Yeah...that looks kind of odd. If they were having trouble coming up with toys, they should have given the "Live" treatment to Ernie and Cookie Monster, like they did with TMEX (In my opinion anyway).

[The Shoe Fairy]

Oh God! Just the Idea of "vibrating hands" isn't good, but I would love If they made a Live Cookie Monster!

[Kiki]

Good lord! :eek: They're really asking for it with those vibrating Elmo hands, they're gonna cop it! "You won't shout as I fiddle about..." O_O Gaahh.. *shudder*

[Ilikemuppets]

Yikes! That is kind of creepy! :eek:

Financially speaking, Elmo live didn't do all that well this year. Just as I had thought. So this looks like they're trying to make something much, much cheaper. It also shows they clean ran out ideas to exploit Elmo.

[Beauregard]

Ahh...How we miss the days when they just melted a palstic Big Bird a bit and stuck him to the top of a Fire-engine with a red-hat on...

[Vic Romano]

Maybe I'll get these for my nephew and then we can finally have the epic battle we've always dreamed of when I slip on my Hulk hands.

My mind is definately in the gutter right now because all I could think of was that for the next year, all we're gonna hear will be dirty jokes about where elmo's hands have been. 0_0 TMI for me!

How in the world did this product get past the pitch phase? Elmo's red, furry palms alone should have indicated that this might not be the best idea. :p There are so many jokes running around in my head, but I'll spare the forum. :halo:

[Ilikemuppets]

you said well william creepy for sure :)It's just a little, but it's very adorable looking at the same time, heh! :p

You know what william i kind of was thinking the same thing a little creepy but a little cute to . I mean Elmo is cute no matter how u put it . I think :p

[MrsPepper]

ROFL!

Well then, I hope no one will judge me for being so warped! :crazy:

I better leave this thread now. ;)

"... And here's the best thing! Instead of having to build a base body, we can take all the leftover fabric we over-ordered for the unproduced Elmo Live dolls, sew cheap sound chips in it, and make gloves out of them. The cost to produce them will be rediculously cheap."

'nuff said.

You know what william i kind of was thinking the same thing a little creepy but a little cute to . I mean Elmo is cute no matter how u put it . I think :pI agree Michelle! I mean sometimes he can be cute in a good way, while other times he can be annoyingly cute. :crazy:
