You’ve never seen Elmo like this before (except on Sesame Street). When this remarkably realistic creation springs to life, Elmo looks like he’s actually speaking. His mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo, from Sesame Street, and his mannerisms are right on target. His head moves back and forth when he talks. He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs, all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. You can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo’s foot, tummy, back or nose.
Playtime is going to the dogs and this playful pooch is leading the charge. The lovable mutt features voice recognition, obeying six commands, including, "Sit", "Speak", and "Lie down."

BISCUIT MY LOVIN' PUP pet will even "shake" at your command, lifting his paw to your hand - or sit up and beg - just like a real pup. Feed him his dog "bone" and he'll sniff it before "chomping" away on it. Moving his head and ears and even blinking his eyes, this sweet sidekick is sure to become your new best friend.
