Hottest toy of the year?

Is this the best they can do this year?
I got the most recent issue of Disney Family fun and this interesting looking stuffed animal is apparently the Hottest Toy of the year.   Really???

Now, I may have asked for a Tickle-me elmo...even though I was in high school when they came out.  But I have no intention of rushing to the store to beat the rush on this item.  call me crazy--but I think it is wierd looking--as in kind of creepy and freakish.  But apparently I am the abnormal one --what do you think--anyone seen one of these in person?  I guess if you buy more than one (marketing genius at its best) then they actually harmonize together.

It's easy to see and hear why the six cute, 9-inch-tall critters are our No. 1 toy: everyone — from tots to teens, even buttoned-up grown-ups — fell in love with them at first sight and sound. Just press their hands for one of three modes: harmony (fun when they sing together), chatter (their native jabber), and song ("Home on the Range" was a tester fave). With each squeeze of their plush bellies, they open their mouths wide to croon a smile-inducing note.
