Licensed toys are ever popular. Every year, the success of a movie or a hot new toy pushes a licensed character into the limelight. Earlier this year, the return of the popular flying superhero Superman was the most talked about. Next, the release of the hit movies Cars and the Pirates of the Caribbean launched toys and characters from the movies into the stores. The DVD movie Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses has little girls wanting their very own Barbie dancing princesses!
However, it looks like a non-movie related toy is all set to steal the show this holiday season. Yes, the hottest toy of 2006 is forecasted to be Sesame Street's darling, TMX Elmo who is flying off the shelves faster than he even got there in the first place!
The traditional favorites like Dora the Explorer, now joined by her cousin Diego, Disney's Little Mermaid, Thomas the Tank and many more are still very much in vogue. Oh, and don't forget the MGA Entertainment's Bratz Forever Diamondz line for some extra sparkle!
Be on the lookout for these licensed characters and many more in your local and online toy stores! This holiday season, beat the rush, and start your shopping early!
Parents need to wait until after Christmas to buy these toys. they get too expensive!
