Do kids actually like the TMX Elmo Doll after all?

I just read a report on Consumer Reports about the TMX Elmo Doll. They did a test on nine children ranging from 1 to 11 years old to see what they think of the TMX Elmo doll and if it's worth the money people are paying for it today.

Turns out, the youngest children didn't even like TMX Elmo! A 20 month old, 14 month old, and a 1 year old were either scared and cried or lost interest in him very quickly.

The 5 and 7 year old were interested and played with him for a short period of time but then never looked at him again.

The 8 and 11 year olds took a little more interest in the TMX Elmo. They had other versions of the Elmo Doll and were interested in the differences with the new Elmo Doll. Their father told consumer reports that his daughters will most likely lose interest in the Elmo Doll after a while.

In this Consumer Reports Test, they found TMX Elmo was more liked by children 8 years and older and also adults. It actually proves true with my 2 1/2 year old. Turns out she has totally forgotten about the TMX Elmo Doll that I was lucky enough to buy for her. Good thing I didnt pay over $100 for it!
