Hot Toy Trends for 2008

I often get questions from people wanting to know about the "hot toy trends" for the year. Invariably, the toy trends for the year are strongly influenced by movies being released that year. Also, almost always, the "hot toy mix" is peppered by a superhero or two! This year, there are some awesome icons vying for our attention - Indiana Jones, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and Batman. Aside from these superheroes, the hot toy trends for 2008 also include dinosaurs, robots, musical toys and of course, web connected toys!

So, if you are curious to learn about what's happening in toyland in 2008, here's just the article for you. Check out the Hot Toy Trends for 2008.

I'd especially like to thank Mr Jonathan Samet, who is a very well known name in the toy industry, for his valuable input on the hot toy trends for 2008. Ever since I first started my career in the toy industry I've read Mr Samet's publications The Toy Book and The Licence Book from cover to cover. They provide great information on current toy trends and latest products from toy manufacturers. In addition to the previous two publications, check out The Toy Insider, which provides great advice on the hottest toys for kids of all ages.
