Retailers Reveal Top RC Toys

Thursday October 11, 2007
As Toys Guide Dipika Mirpuri reports, the Toy Retailers Association has announced their Top Holiday Toys "Dream Dozen". These are the toys that retailers believe will be big sellers. Among them is the really nifty Flytech Dragonfly from WowWee, one of the many cool RC flying toys that are new this season. Another RC on the list is Vivid's Roary the Racing Car R/C. I admit I've never heard of Roary but he appears to be popular in the UK where Vivid Imaginations is based.

Optimus Prime is the top movie character on the top toy list and it just so happens that Optimus Prime and the other Transformers are prime candidates for radio controlled fun. The head Transformer was my son's top choice when he bought a new RadioShack Transformers ZipZaps this week.

Some Barbie toys and a Doctor Who Dalek are also on the Toy Retailers Association top 12 list. Their popularity might just carry over to related RCs such the Barbie RC available from RadioShack or the radio controlled Doctor Who Dalek Robots.
