What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Full of fun phrases and hilarious actions The Bad: Doesn't work so well on carpet In a Nutshell: Cute, huggable toy, great for young children At a Glance Ages: 1-1/2 years and up Requires: 6 AA batteries (included)

Meet T.M.X. Cookie Monster
Part of the new Tickle Me Extreme friends, Tickle Me Cookie Monster is every bit as charming and fun as his popular friend, T.M.X. Elmo. When you touch his belly, this plush 11-inch doll falls backwards and giggles as he rocks back and forth. He even gets back up on his own! With googly eyes and soft blue fur, this Cookie Monster doll is cute, huggable, and a great toy for young children. He comes packaged in a cardboard carrying case with a handle at the top and a cutout to poke his ticklish tummy. Cookie Monster performs best on a hard, flat surface and requires six AA batteries (included) to bring him to life.

Laughter Is Contagious
Each T.M.X. friend has its own unique actions. The T.M.X. Cookie Monster features silly gyrations followed by humorous phrases. This motorized doll is so soft, kids can pick it up, snuggle with it, then put it down and watch it wiggle. It only takes two tickles to send Cookie Monster into hysterical laughter and kids soon find themselves giggling along. This doll has an incredible likeness to the actual Sesame Street character. Parents can add to the fun with T.M.X. Elmo or T.M.X. Ernie, sold separately.

Tickle Test
During the tickle test, it became easy to see why the T.M.X. friends are in such demand. When you tickle Cookie Monster's belly, he doubles over in hysterics. The second time he is tickled, he falls over backwards, rolls from left to right, then gets back up again, saying, "That was good." The doll moves best on a hard, flat surface and struggles a little when placed on carpet. But that was the only setback discovered during the hands-on testing process. A discreet on-off switch on his foot allows you to turn the doll off, if you're in need of some quiet time. Overall, T.M.X. Cookie Monster makes a great toy for its target age range. Even adults will crack a smile as this jolly character shakes and rolls with laughter.

3.0 out of 5 stars TMX Cookie Monster, November 29, 2007

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Fisher-Price T.M.X. Tickle Me Extreme Cookie Monster (Toy)

I got this toy for my son's birthday. I never saw the original Elmo from the Nineties. So, I can not make a comparison. I can tell you that this thing is a battery hog! If the batteries are not fully charged "Cookie" will not go through all his moves and has trouble getting up. On the other hand, when his batteries are fully charged, he almost seems to be too revved up. He sometimes falls back down after he gets up. But, he will stand up again if he falls. All in all, this toy does make my son happy. He laughs at it a lot. So do I, sometimes. Just be ready to change the batteries more often than you do with most toys. And that is six (yes six AA) batteries, not two or even four.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid laughs, some flaws and clunky construction. NOT a plush toy!, December 8, 2007

This review is from: Fisher-Price T.M.X. Tickle Me Extreme Cookie Monster (Toy)

TMX Cookie Monster will make you laugh. His motions and voice should give almost anyone the giggles. He has two actions, one short and one long, both triggered by simply touching his tummy. The short action is a few laughs accompanied by some shaking. It's hardly impressive. The second response is what TMX Cookie Monster is all about:

Cookie Monster begins to laugh. He shakes and then falls over backwards. He sits back up and tries to control his laughter. He gets a second bout of laughter, rolls over onto one side and chuckles and kicks his legs. He then rolls onto his back, has a few more laughs, rolls onto his other side, then rolls to his back, and in a very funny effort, sits up after a few tries. He then stands and the motion ends.

When it works properly, it is adorable and people love it. The problem is that it doesn't always work as intended. Sometimes when he intends to sit up, the motion is so powerful that he tips over onto his face. From this point on, none of the motions follow the proper audio cues. If he does manage to sit properly, the other issue I encountered was when he's on his right side and tries to roll onto his back. One leg kicks back quickly and the momentum (as well as a balance peg in his back) is supposed to roll him over. Often this fails as the motion isn't adequate. These problems occur even on completely flat, hard surfaces as instructed. Of small help is a balance-sensing mechanism: Cookie Monster knows how he is positioned and will make several attempts to stand upright before stopping all motions. It is reasonably successful at this.

The toy is surprisingly heavy. The feet are very hard and contain the 6 batteries necessary. The motors I assume are in the legs/hips. The arms do not move. In sharp contrast, the body and arms of the toy feels like a pillowcase strung over a broomstick. The blue covering material hangs loose all over and you can feel the rounded arm pegs and one very long peg off-center in his back. Falling on this peg could be very painful, and there is no cushion material inside the toy's body at all. The head is the only part that seems to have solid stuffing.

This toy is meant to be watched and laughed at. It is too heavy and hard to be handled like a stuffed animal.

Finally, the eyes do not move. This was a little bit of a disappointment to me, as Cookie Monster is known for his googlie eyes.

With only one worthwhile motion (the two alternate equally), some problems with that motion, and the seriously non-plush nature of the toy, I don't know how much I could recommend this for a child's play toy.
