| friends, family, associates , you name it. | | | | Hasbro. They are always doing great things. I |
| I am going to give you my own list of the toys I | | | | don't know how many times I need to say this. If |
| just KNOW are going to be hot this holiday | | | | Hasbro doesn't buy them, Mattel will. Mattel makes |
| season. Most people would use the word | | | | their money from acquisitions. This is what Hasbro |
| "prediction". I wont use that word because | | | | needs to start doing. Rose Art creates a lot of |
| predictions can be wrong. I believe 100% in what | | | | "do it yourself" toys. I have their cotton candy |
| I am saying and in what I know, so here is my | | | | machine, which works quite well. Rose Art now |
| list of " Toys that will be HOT during the 2007 | | | | has a "Hover & Spin Paint Machine". This is so |
| Holiday Season". | | | | cool. You stick your paper on the machine. The |
| " Toys that will be HOT during the 2007 Holiday | | | | paper spins and you drop paint on the spinning |
| Season": | | | | paper, different colored paint, which eventually |
| 1. The Fisher-Price Digital Arts and Crafts Studio- | | | | creates a painted masterpiece. State fairs usually |
| this thing is amazing. I HAVE TO GET ONE FOR | | | | have this spinning art thing. Now you can have |
| XMAS!!! Who is going to get one for me?Hopefully | | | | one in your own home, and its only $14.99. This is |
| my dear, lovely, doctor sister will because I love | | | | going to be a hot toy once people see it. Rose |
| her with all of my heart. This studio is amazing!! It | | | | art toys don't get good displays in toy stores. I |
| allows you to draw, color, everything- it hooks up | | | | should rank this- this is my 4th top pick. |
| to your computer and you can save your art. Do | | | | Rose Art also has a deluxe pottery wheel and a |
| you guys remember the guy on PBS who had | | | | on the Go Art cup which is ideal for little kids. |
| the afro- he painted "Happy Trees" - he would | | | | -- SpinMaster - another company that needs to |
| start with a blank slate and end up with a canvas | | | | be acquired. Spin Master is really making their |
| that was absolutely amazing. Sometimes , while | | | | mark, coming up with innovative technologies. The |
| painting, he would dip his brush in some paint, and | | | | Spin Master Tech Deck and skateboards are quite |
| you'd be like," Hey man, what are you doing, now | | | | nifty. So is the Girl Crush Air Brush Tattoo |
| you KNOW that color isn't right!". But somehow, | | | | system, which allows you to airbrush a fake |
| at the end of the show, everything would blend | | | | tattoo onto your skin or your friends skin. No |
| and his canvas would be amazing- he always | | | | longer do you have to rub fake tatoos on. |
| drew landscapes. So having the Arts and Crafts | | | | The following toys are interesting to look at and |
| Studio is like having your own PBS show.You can | | | | may interest you: |
| print and save everything you've created. Mark | | | | The Spider Man and friends toy collection. The |
| my world AMERICA- this WILL Be the best selling | | | | toys have soft upper bodies, which make them |
| toy this season. Its only $44. | | | | ideal for little kids. |
| 2. The Fisher Price Light Sketcher - This is so | | | | Action Command Spider Man- doesn't really do |
| COOL!!! Maybe somebody working for Fisher Price | | | | anything but the packaging is quite extraordinary. |
| will send me one of these. This is like the Magna | | | | Playskool's Spider Man Sing Along - Now when I |
| Doodle, but only better. It allows you to draw | | | | think of Spider Man , I think of a big tough guy. |
| with light. So when you are in a car, and its dark, | | | | Who in the world created a sing along spider |
| and you're bored, you can take out your Light | | | | man?? HUH?? Thats like creating a sing along |
| Sketcher and draw-I love it!!! This is $29.99 at | | | | BatMan or a sing along Transformer?? Im |
| Target.You can draw in 3 different patterns - line, | | | | surprised this toy made it through quality control |
| dotted line, or dashes. This is going to be a top | | | | at Hasbro. However, this toy is intended for kids |
| seller. | | | | 5 and below, in my opinion. At that age, kids dont |
| So Fisher Price will definitely have at least 2 of | | | | know that Spider Man is supposed to be tough. |
| the top 5 toys this season. Wow, Fisher Price is | | | | So in actuality, this toy may work. All the kid |
| on a roll. They always are. F-P and the Sesame | | | | wants to do is sing, so I think this toy may sell |
| Street gang- I wonder what type of Elmo will be | | | | well, but the age group that likes this toy will be |
| invented this season?? | | | | very specific- I say 5 and below.No 9 year old kid |
| Now the rest are just dashed because I think | | | | is going to want this toy. This Spider Man even |
| they are interesting but I have not ranked them | | | | has a soft soothing voice. When is Hasbro going |
| yet and I don't know if they deserve to be | | | | to make a Glo-Worm that talks and can say |
| ranked. | | | | goodnight in English and Spanish?? |
| - GI JOE Collection box- For all of us between the | | | | If I had a baby, I would buy the kid a Fisher Price |
| ages of 20-35, we all remember GI JOE. G.I Joe, | | | | learning DJ. The Dj has moving eyes and rocks to |
| American Hero. Hasbro has created a GI JOE | | | | the beat of ABCS and 123. This toy is HOT!!! IF |
| Anniversary Collectors box that commemorates | | | | you know any kids below the age of 7, you really |
| the 25th anniversary of GI JOE. The "gift box" is | | | | need to get them the F-P Learning DJ. Its |
| nice and simple. I like it. BUt if I got one , I | | | | interactive as well. Ill rank this as #5, especially for |
| wouldn't play with it. I would keep it nice and | | | | kids below the age of 7. |
| closed so it would be worth money at the 50th | | | | I like the Wish with Me little Cinderella & Little |
| anniversary celebration. So if anyone buys one of | | | | Ariel. It doesnt do anything. I just like the sounds |
| these, I think they will have to buy 2: one they | | | | it makes and the way the crown lights up. I really |
| can play with and one they would reserve. This | | | | like the way the crown lights up. The Barbie |
| might make Hasbro some money. But not as | | | | Glamour Pup toy is okay too, if you're into Barbie. |
| much money as F-P's going to be making with | | | | Im not. |
| that Art Studio. | | | | Barbie is for Mattel what Transformers may be |
| - Nerf: Nerf has come up with a NERF Disk Shot | | | | for Hasbro this season. |
| that has 6 darts and 6 foam discs that can be | | | | The Hannah Montana CD Board game may do |
| shot through the air. The concept is neat but I | | | | well too. DIsney knows how to make their |
| don't know how safe it is. What happens if I | | | | money. |
| shoot my sister in the face with it. Is the foam | | | | Toys that are just dangerous: The F-P Jeff |
| soft enough that it wont hurt anyone? Thats my | | | | Gordon Shake N Go. What happens if the car |
| only concern. But Nerf has really come out with | | | | shoots into someone's face?? |
| some great products this season. | | | | Summary: Buy the Arts and Crafts Studio for |
| - Transformers- Transformers are a brand, not a | | | | your young ones. And the light sketcher . |
| company. Walking into the toy store, you would | | | | Fisher-Price (which is owned my Mattel) will be the |
| think it was the opposite.There are WAY too | | | | biggest money maker this season unless other |
| many Transformer toys. With the release of the | | | | toy companies come out with something |
| Transformers on DVD, it will spark an interest in | | | | between now and Xmas.Rose Art and Spinmaster |
| their toys. Lots of money has been spent on the | | | | will also do quite well. Transformers will give |
| trasnformer Toys. The Optimus Prime Voice | | | | Hasbro a little boost and the GI JOe |
| Changer is cool. You know whats even cooler? | | | | commemorative box needs better marketing so |
| The Transformers Projector System which allows | | | | that people my age know about it. Put a |
| you to project a stencil drawing on a sheet of | | | | commercial on MTV,VH1, and ESPN and then |
| paper, and then you can stand at your big piece | | | | people will know about it. Do a commercial during |
| of paper and draw whats being projected. This is | | | | "Dancing with the Stars" and have an ad at the |
| really neat. You see how arts and crafts are really | | | | baseball field where the baseball playoffs are |
| big this season? Kids like to do things with their | | | | occurring. Try placing them in the men's section |
| hands and use their imagination. The F-P arts and | | | | instead of in the toy section. |
| Crafts studio uses the imagination more than this | | | | |
