When you first take him out of his box, T.M.X. Elmo doesn’t seem all that grand. He looks after all, well, like Elmo. Covered in the soft red fur that one would expect from everyone’s favorite Sesame Street character, T.M.X. Elmo stands an unimposing 14 inches tall. Even worse, he feels all hard and plasticy under his fur. But this Elmo is not meant for cuddles or hand holding or swaddling.

Sit T.M.X. Elmo down and hit one of his three “tickle” spots. There’s one under his chin, one on his belly, and one on top of his foot. Yes, this Elmo wiggles just like he did 10 years ago, but that’s just the start. Elmo slaps his belly, falls forward with his butt sticking out, stands back up again only to topple backwards, kicks his legs over his belly, and then stands right back up, all while laughing hysterically.

Turn your TV into a pixelized party light. The Groovetube panel works great no matter what??™s on TV. Think of it as a television accessory just like a DVD player or an X-Box. The extremely light-weight and well made Groovetube panel sticks right to your TV screen with a couple suction cup things. It converts the TV images into pixelized blocks of ever-changing patterns and colors. Available in 3 sizes. LARGE size fits 24″ - 27″ TVs. MEDIUM size fits 19″ - 22″ TVs. SMALL size fits 13″ - 15″ TVs.

Groovetube requires no batteries, external power source or fancy gadgetry to work. It channels the light from todays info-mercials, reality TV shows and advertising and difuses it to an active matrix of moving colored squares of light. As the imagery on the television screen moves and changes, so does the grid of colored squares on the Groovetube. You just stick the thing on and the TV does the rest.

The price of GrooveTube is between $29 and $49 depending on the size.
