You can get your very own E.T. from Toy "R" Us. E.T. speaks a few lines from the movie and when he is paired up with another doll they will speak to one another. This toy is an exclusive to Toy "R" Us. They are priced at $8.99 at Amazon.com, buy it now by clicking the link below.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the film's original release, several E.T. action figures have come about, but with a modern twist. Not only does the alien talk, saying "Elliott" and "Friend," but if paired up with another action figure from the same series, he interacts, speaking when the other figure's hand is placed on his forehead. This figure features the Extra Terrestrial himself with some key props: a tiny bag of candy and a toy "speak and spell" that stir up some memorable moments from the movie. The skin is leathery and motion is limited, the legs are stationery, only one elbow moves, and the head can't turn from side to side. But the neck cranes up either when pulled or when interacting evokes some of the more tender moments of the movie. --John Moe
