Alongside the release of the top twelve toys, DreamToys has detailed the wider list of recommended toys in eight categories, from which the top toys were chosen.
Parents and gift givers today received the clearest indication of what toys will be the most sought-after this Christmas following the release of the Toy Retailers Association’s DreamToys list. Compiled by leading retailers and toy experts, and independent of toy makers, the DreamToys list is the most authoritative predictive list published for toys.
This year’s DreamToys full-list is notable for the number of licensed toys included, from the Fortnite Battle Royale Collection Battle Bus (Moose Toys) and the Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak (Wow! Stuff) to Star Wars Yoda (Lego), and Frozen II Magic Ice Walker (Flair).
The list has been broken down into eight categories, and from these the twelve Top Toys were selected. The 12 Top Toys list can be viewed here.
