3.0 out of 5 stars He's Cute, But Little Ones Might Have Trouble Tickling Him, March 28, 2006

This is a cute little Curious George plush toy, but my daughter has trouble making him laugh under his arms like the box says. You have to press hard and often before you finally hit a spot that makes him laugh. His feet are the easiest parts to tickle, followed distantly by under his chin.

He is a cute toy, and it is especially funny when you hit the "wiggle" spot which makes him shake and laugh with joy.

Though I wouldn't recommend him for children under three, he's the perfect gift for kids who understand how to make him laugh in every spot he's supposed to.

This review is from: Curious George - Tickle N Giggle (Toy)

My 3-year-old son loves the Tickle Curious George TV ads so much that he goes around tickling pictures of Curious George on Life cereal boxes, so it was a no-brainer to buy this doll for his third birthday this week. However, when it arrived (two days later than promised) we were really disappointed.

The TV ads make it look like George has a funny and cute little laugh that will really get kids giggling along. The truth is, George's laughs are short, weird, and almost creepy.

In the ads, the kids are actually tickling George and getting a reaction. In reality, you have to push directly on the specific buttons under his arms, on his stomach, or on his feet to get a laugh. My poor little guy keeps tickling his doll in vain, because he doesn't hit the right spots.

The "magic tickle spot" isn't anything specific and it doesn't turn up very frequently. Basically, you have to keep hitting the five tickle buttons until one of them becomes the "magic spot." Then the doll vibrates and the creepy laughs last a little longer. Once it ends, it may be hours or days before the magic spot turns up again.

The doll is cute, so we've kept it anyway; my son and husband are both George fans and the tickles are like a bonus on a cute stuffed animal. But my husband and I are really disappointed by the substantial difference between the ads and the product. As for durability, we haven't had it long enough to comment. The battery pack does have an on/off switch that seems to get switched frequently by itself, perhaps during the "tickling"; if your toy stops working suddenly, pull out the pack and that will probably be the problem.
