Transformers
The box office success of the Transformers action movies has seen the release of a line of transformer toys, comic books, games and video games placing them at the top of the most wanted toy this year. Transformable toys are captivating kid’s attention just like the film did and top toy stores like Hamleys is predicting The Transformers Bumblebee Helmet to fly off the shelves.
Transformer toys can be found to suit children from 4 years old and over that start with quick and easy conversion packs like the Movie Legend 4 Pack. For older children there is the ultimate “Devastator”; a large scale action figure with electronic lights and sounds.
Action Figures
Fans of the movie can collect their favourite characters all with super conversions, action features, moving armour and gears and enjoy recreating famous battle scenes with their friends.
Transformers are by no means the only action toy on the must-have list. A strong contender is the ever-popular “Star Wars” collection of toys and games that always do well and still a favourite of many. The Clone Wars Commander Helmet was a top toy last Christmas and looks set to do well again along with new Star Wars products in the LEGO Star Wars range.

GI Joe, Masters of the Universe, Star Trek, Superman, Batman, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, LEGO Bionicle, etc all take on good versus evil theme and the huge success of the films released has seen the rise in demand for more action toys to be produced.
Military Action
G.I Joe’s line of military action figures produced by Hasbro originally began in the 1960s; this toy line represented four of the branches of the US Armed Forces. In the UK Action Man was released which was later renamed to Action Force. Today the extent of the products and array of merchandising from TV series and films like the “Rise of the Cobra” in 2009 see the increasing popularity of posters, t-shirts, video games, vehicles and play-sets.
Other fun action figures and characters include Horrid Henry, Power Rangers, Scooby-Doo, Dinosaur King, and Toy Story figures-Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody. The good news for kids this Christmas is the release of any new action movie means more action toys and figures being produced which means the list for top toys for Christmas just gets longer.

Figures & Playsets
Play is essential to a child’s healthy development of life skills. It teaches them important social and emotional needs in addition to building their self-esteem and confidence. The influence of TV and other multimedia distractions can lead to a less active child so the introduction of action toys from popular TV shows and movies means they can play more creatively with others.
Most importantly an active child is a healthy child and the good news is there are plenty of action figures, action toys and action games to choose from.
