Fads may come and go, but when it comes to children, you can’t beat two wheels and a puppy for Christmas.
Toyworld has released its Top 20 Toys for this holiday season and, surprise, surprise, it’s packed with the latest releases.
At No 1 is the cryptically-named Bakugan Bakubowl Arena, which is a “range of action-figure warriors which tuck into spheres and pop open when they’re rolled onto a game card”.
Perennial boys’ toys Hot Wheels and Lego also make the top 10 and talking Wot Wots dolls, designed by Weta Workshop, takes out the last spot on the list.
The creepiest toy on the list is the FurReal Lulu, a mechanised cat that responds to petting.
“As you pet her, she will relax, and will roll over to look at you and let you pat her tummy.”
