The Toy Retailers Association have announced their highly anticipated Top 12 Toys for this Christmas. Most of the toys listed are based upon top TV Shows, I guess there’s no surprise that the TV programme coverage does play into the hands of the marketeers, but hey, lets take a look at the toys that made it onto the list. In no particular order:
- Doctor Who Dalek Sec Hybrid Voice Changer Mask – Character
- Baby Annabel® New V4 – Zapf
- Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old – Hasbro
- Flytech Dragonfly – Character
- Transformers Movie Leader: Optimus Prime – Hasbro

These Top 12 are the Toy retailers Association’s list of Dream Toys, the ones which will top children’s Santa list, and will become the best selling toys of 2007. The list was drawn from a Top 60 list, taken from various categories of Childrens toys. These categories were:
- Pre-school

- Boys
- Big Kids
- Creative
- Games
