Every year, there are predictions released based on what the
top Christmas toys will be and more often than not, these will fly off the
shelves long before the big day. 2020 is an especially big year because of the
consoles being released by Xbox, PlayStation and Atari (yes, really. There’s a
new one coming).
Consoles aside though, if you want to make sure that your
little guy has the top toy this year then it is worth preparing and keeping a
sharp eye on which are expected to fly out of the shop doors. We have selected
a couple of ‘boys’ toys that we expect to be massively popular this year, so
keep an eye out for these in particular.
‘Baby
Yoda’
Of course, this little guy is not Yoda but he is of the same
species. The Child, as he is known in the TV series, force jumps from the TV
screen and into your grabby hands with the animatronic plush toy from Hasbro.
You have to admit, whether you are a Star Wars fan or not, there is no denying
the fact that the little guy is just adorable.
The animatronic toy comes complete with over 25 sounds and
combinations that will make any Mandalorian say "awwww". Being
animatronic, there is some movement too with the head moving up and down, ears
going back and forth and the eyes can open and close too.
‘The
Child' (it's character name) will also attempt to channel the 'Force';
raising its arms as it closes its eyes and sighs as if tuning into the Force
and wielding it. As well as the animatronic plush toy, there is also a
Mandalorian pendant that either The Child or your child can wear. May the Force
be with you!
Lego
Super Mario Adventures – Starter Course
What kind of a Christmas would it be without the classic
gift of Lego? For the love of all the throwback feels, the one and only Super
Mario is charging back to the digital world and the physical, and he is more
interactive than he has ever been before. You have probably never played with
Lego like this before.
The Lego
Super Mario Adventures Starter Course features the world’s favourite
plumber, and others, with LCD screens for eyes and over 100 unique reactions to
movements, Mario is helped to come to life beautifully. Guaranteed hours of
non-stop fun and the pack can be expanded upon too.
Christmas 2020 here we come!
With so many different things to choose from, and from
many fan favourite franchises and series, choosing the right surprise gift for
your little man is not always easy. When it came to choosing our two top picks,
that wasn’t easy either, but with the massive popularity of Disney’s The
Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, that plush animatronic was a no-brainer.
Mario has always been a perennial favourite, as has Lego,
and with a range of Marion products hitting the shelves we think Lego Super
Mario Adventures is a sure thing for a 2020 Christmas hit.
Whatever you go with, have a great Christmas!
