This might not be a big seller for Christmas, but it is possible that this could be the next furby or tickle-me-elmo. But then again it could just be something neat that only does modest sales.

The toy is Kota the Triceratops robot. It’s large enough for a young kid to sit on and has 11 different movements and reacts to touch and sound. It isn’t mobile and that may or may not be a good thing if you think of the balancing skills of some toddlers.

It will wag its tail and even play some adventure music if it’s in the mood. But don’t take my word for it, check out the video of Kota in action after the jump.

Most people will remember the release of the tickle-me Elmo in 1996, Units flew off the shelves as parents had to get the must-have toy for Christmas.

Now, for Christmas 2008, Prezzybox present Elmo Live! This toy really has to be seen to be believed. Elmo dances, sits down, crosses his legs, waves his arms and even talks just like the Elmo that children love on-screen. Prezzybox are sure that they’ve found the Christmas 2008 must-have toy in Elmo Live! Gadget blogs have been calling it;

“The Most Expressive Toy We’ve Ever Seen” The movement is so lifelike, children would be forgiven for thinking their red, fluffy friend had leapt out of the TV.

Toys based on children’s TV Characters have been around for years. But none have gained the same quality of movement and feel that Elmo Live! Has captured.

Elmo Live! Has been gaining a lot of attention online and has recently been featured on the Paul O’Grady Show. This is truly the most advanced toy in line for the Christmas rush this year. Elmo Live! Is available from Prezzybox for £59.95

Elmo is back and it’s never too soon to shop for the holidays…in fact the earlier the better to cut down on stress. My problem is some times I shop too early and hide my purchases, only to forget about them come holiday time!

I’ve been hunting for some fun stuff and came across this Elmo Live. Now even as a teen I loved Sesame Street and the Muppets and I still do, so this would make a good gag gift for a friends or a great gift for the little ones in your life.  Check out this Elmo Live Video. He’s rapping and telling jokes and stories.

These might also be a good buy for the EBay sellers among you. Snap the Elmos up now and flip them on EBay.

Before you know it, the holiday season will be upon all of us once again, and this time round Elmo's making a comeback in the form of Elmo Live. He is already available for pre-order, retailing for $59.88 and above. While I suspect that this model won't hit the dizzy speculative heights of the original Tickle Me Elmo, I believe it will still be a strong seller, so your initial $59.88 might balloon to much more than that on the second hand market in due time. Shipping begins on October 14th, so get your mice ready, prep up your bank account and start clicking!

Although it hits retail on Thursday, you might want to get your pre-order in now given the way these things tend to go scarce near the Xmas rush. We're talking about Elmo Live of course, the singing, dancing, and story telling robot with wobbly red limbs and interactive sensors scattered around the monster's face and ticklish belly. Available now for about $65 pre-tax at all the usual on-line shops for our tiniest consumers. We've dropped in the video after the break as a reminder of things to come.
