Rock & Roll Sesame Street plush

In the late 1990s, Tyco/Fisher-Price released a series of musical plush which featured characters from Sesame Street. The battery-operated plush "sang", "played" an instrument (usually guitar) and vibrated or shook.

The first version of Rock & Roll Elmo was produced by Tyco in 1997 and was only available at Avon. He is dressed in a black jacket, a white T-shirt, and gray jeans and sings four songs.
