Do Not Forget the Classics

If you can remember playing Candyland when you were a child, or having your first Cabbage patch doll, or coloring that picture your Mom hung on the fridge with your first set of Crayola Crayons, you had the pleasure of owning some pure classics. When a toy is named a classic, this means that it has been around for many, many years and still going strong. These classics, while you may feel they are old and unwanted, are still as popular today as they were when they first came out.

If you are looking for hot toys and the latest trends, you might want to take a look at the Forbes list of most popular toys over the last century. On this list, you will find not only the toys mentioned above but also big favorites such as Raggedy Ann Dolls, View Master 3-D Viewer, Mr. Potato Head, Beanie Babies, Rubik’s Cube, and even G.I. Joe. Surely, you probably remember some of these and you might be surprised to learn that they are still very popular among children today.

Social Trends

Not only are the classics very popular still today, there are also new and exciting toys being released on an almost daily basis. If you want to identify the hottest toy trends, you will need to take a close look at the social trends of today as well. Here is how you can determine the social trends.

Television and Movies

Movies and television shows can tell you a great deal, about what is happening in the toy market. This is especially true when they are geared towards children. Some movies make such a big deal over their release, that before the movie is even released, their products will become hot sellers. The perfect example of this is the Disney-Pixar movies “Cars”. Before the movie was ever released products featuring the characters on this movie were very hot and fast sellers. In fact, some of the items such as the die cast cars, are selling so quickly and up to four times the retail price, that they are hard to find now.

Other popular items in regards to television and movies include Dora the Explorer and Diego her cousin, featured on Nickelodeon, as well as toys and costumes from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and many others.

Technology

Technology plays a big part in the hottest toy trends as well. As our world becomes more and more dependant upon different technology, it is no wonder the toys do as well. Such technological toys include Playstation 1, 2, and 3, Nintendo Gameboy, Xbox, and other video game systems. In this area, you can also include Furby, TMX Elmo, Leap Pad learning system, and other electronic toys.

Hot Sellers and Accessories

If you really want to get into the toy trends, you need to take a close look at previous hot sellers and their latest accessories. This is where you could really make good money. Accessories include speakers, adaptors, cases, headphones, and other add-on accessories for a MP3 player or iPod. It could also include furniture, clothing, or vehicle accessories for previous hot toys such as Little Tikes dollhouses or Dora the Explorer.
