Toys”R”Us Reveals The 2016 #TRUHotToyList

Posted on by

Toys”R”Us debuted today its 2016 Holiday Hot Toy List, the company’s annual go-to holiday shopping resource for parents and gift-givers – straight from the toy experts. Comprised of 40 items categorized by age from Baby’s First Christmas to Big Kids, the Toys”R”Us team spent the last year narrowing down thousands of new toy introductions and selecting the items sure to be at the top of all wish lists this holiday season.

“It’s serious business creating a list of must-haves that helps parents and gift-givers stay ahead of their kids’ requests,” said Richard Barry, Executive Vice President, Global Chief Merchandising Officer, Toys”R”Us, Inc. “Our mission is to ensure parents feel confident in their toy buying decisions – whether they choose to check off their kids’ wish lists now or right before Christmas.”

Disney have a few entries on the top 40 including the Disney Junior The Lion Guard Training Lair Playset, PJ Masks Headquarter Play Set, Disney Junior Doc McStuffins Toy Hospital Care Cart and the Star Wars InteracTech Stormtrooper.

Our Take:

It’s great to see a wide selection of items on this years list, personally I’m after the PlayStation VR and Nintendo NES Classic Edition from Santa this year. With Star Wars Rogue One coming out just ahead of Christmas, I’m sure there will be lots of new Star Wars toys under people’s tree’s this year.

Will you be getting any of these items for Christmas this year?
