Now the festive season is over and the busy Christmas shopping season has passed, it is time to take a look at which toys could possibly become the top toys of 2011. At the time of writing, it is very early on in the year and many of the major toy companies are yet to finalise their new product selections for 2011, but we thought that it would be interesting to take another look at the top performing toys from 2010 and see which of them would continue their popularity into 2011. Read on to find out more detailed information on the early contenders to be among the most in-demand toys in the coming year.
The popularity of the majority of individual hot toys is often very short-lived. The toy market is littered with one-hit wonders from Christmases past, we need only think of the Cabbage Patch Dolls or Go Go Hamsters whose attractiveness took a nosedive as soon as the festive period ended. There are classic toy ranges like Lego and FurReal Friends that enjoy enduring popularity over the years due to the fact they are constantly launching exciting new products that kids love. So which of the most sought after toys of last Christmas will still be in-demand this year?
There were several toys that proved very popular in the early part of the Christmas season due to extensive TV exposure, namely Toffee the Pony and Stinky the Garbage Truck. In fact, demand for both these toys was so high that stocks disappeared rapidly and by mid-November, the peak of the holiday shopping season, they were nearly impossible to get hold of. As a result, many parents would have been unable to get their kids exactly what they wanted. This will result in Toffee the Pony and Stinky the Garbage Truck being on many kids birthday wish list in 2011, thus ensuring their popularity throughout the year.
Dave the Funky Shoulder Monkey was another popular toy last Christmas and his appeal will surely carry on this year due to his originality and quirky nature - Dave the Monkey is the centre of attention wherever he goes and Toys R Us have already stated that he will be one of their main toys of 2011.
