The annual picks of the top toys of 2005 have begun. Toys "R" Us has announced their list of the toys they think will "be the top choices
of children this holiday season." Their list of the very best includes 14 different toys.
The list includes digital toys like the FLY Pentop Computer,
Game Boy Micro, Iz from Zizzle and the upgraded Furby from
Hasbro. Other items on Toys "R" Us' best list include LEGO Vikings Fortress,
a 1,019 piece theme set where brave vikings try and defend their
castle from the the Fafnir Dragon with a catapult and
Bratz Rock Angelz Tour Bus, a tour bus for the Bratz dolls that includes
a cruising lounge, primping station, smoothie bar, chill-out loft and a
real-working Jacuzzi.
Some toys for very young kids also made the list including Giggles and Coos Baby Doll, Laugh & Learn Musical Learning Chair, Thomas & Friends Aquadoodle,
Roll-A-Arounds Drop & Roar Dinosaur and Tumble Time Tigger. Here is what Toys "R" Us had to say about Tumble Time Tigger (pictured on the right).
The sound-activated Tigger tumbles, does cartwheels and even handstands --
all to a fun beat. Kids simply press Tigger's ear to start the action, and
magically bring him to life by clapping their hands and calling out to him.
He's got something to say, too, with lots of fun phrases as kids continue to
clap their hands to the funky musical track and wacky sound effects. Ages 18
months and up. Requires 6 AA batteries (included).
