Two Hot Toys for 2012 Holiday Season

We are going to look at the hot toys for 2012 holiday season so that your shopping is a little bit easier. Whether you brave the crowds at the store or you are a hip parent and you do your toy shopping online, these are some of the new toys out this year.

New 2012 Furby

2012 New Furby

You may remember the first generation Furby. One of the common complaints was that you could NOT turn it off without taking out the batteries. Unfortunately, the new one is the same.

There are some differences, however. The ears are different on the new Furby as well as the fur and the eyes. The eyes are not LCD instead of the marble like eyes the first generation Furbies had when they first came out. 

AT around $55 (for now) it's priced a bit higher than the Old Furby as well. Still, for some kids, it is going to be on the wishlist. There will likely be more hype around this toy in the weeks ahead, but do your own research before you buy one.

This amazing toy for small children comes with FREE HUGS! Okay, seriously, it's another doll, but it's kinda cute because it has so many - wait for it - buckles on the front. It should be noted that the Lion is not the only character you can get. For around $25 it's a bit expensive, but when buying toys for children, you do not want to skimp on money. 

There have been some parents out there who say the buckles are a bit hard for some children. However, with practice they may become better, which is sort of the whole point of the toy, isn't it?

In any case, whether you go with the lion or one of the other characters, this is one of our picks for the top new toys of 2012.
