55% off Polly Pocket Rockin Theme Park

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Pollyworld Theme ParkThe new Pollyworld theme park from Polly Pocket has been reduced by up to 55% on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. The toy is currently selling for just $16.50 on the US site and £14.99 on the UK site. What a bargain! Considering this is one of the most popular toys this Christmas I’d get in quick in case the price goes back up.

The Pollyworld theme park is full of shopping malls, fashion, rides and music and Polly can turn into a rock star then perform her song in front of the crowd at the park.

Kids go crazy for Cyberman Voicechanger Helmet

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Doctor Who Cyberman Voicechanger HelmetChristmas is fast approaching, the trees and decorations are going up and everybody is shopping like mad to get all the presents they need for Christmas day. If you need an idea for a boy’s gift this year then the Cyberman Voicechanger Helmet could be the perfect solution. The cheapest I could find the toy is £29.99 from lxdirect.com which is quite reasonable compared to the price other stores are selling it for.

The Cyberman Voicechanger Mask is a replica Cyberhead from the Doctor Who series and has three buttons that all have different functions, one plays phrases spoken by the Cyberman, another changes your own voice to the tones of the Cyberman and the final button makes weapon sound effects. For Doctor Who fans this is the perfect gift and could be a great toy to play tricks on the family at Christmas. The Toy Retailers Association have placed this as one of their ‘Top Toys 2006’ and it is set to be one of the most popular Christmas gifts this year.

Nintendogs Assortment

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Nintendogs GameThis Christmas season Nintendogs is the ultimate gift you can buy anyone who owns a Nintendo DS or DS Lite. The game is genius and highly addictive once you start interacting with your little friend. The best part about the game has to be that you can own a puppy and have loads of fun with him or her without having to clean up poop or go walkies in the rain.

Choose your puppy then look after her as though she were real – feed her, clean her, take her for walks around the block, enter her into competitions and interact with other puppies using the built in wireless technology. Check the pups status to make sure she is always happy and healthy, if she’s not the status table will tell you what you need to do to make her happy!

There are four different Nintendog games to choose from: Chihuahua and friends, Dachshund and friends, Labrador and friends, and Dalmatian and friends. In the Dalmatian and friends game the choice is between Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Beagle, Yorkshire Terrier, German Shepherd Dog and Boxer (I have this game). Buy from Amazon.com for only $29.99 (US) and Amazon.co.uk for approx £24.99 (UK only).

Bratz Pampered Pupz

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Bratz Pampered Pupz CloeThe all new Pampered Pupz are now available from Bratz. There are four girls in the collection each with their own little puppy; Cloe, Sasha, Yasmin and their new bestest friend Charli are all strutting their stuff with their perfect little pupz by their sides.

This is the first collection of Bratz that puppies have been introduced, aside from the Bratz Petz collection of course. You can also adopt your own puppy by logging onto the Bratz Website.

Each girl wears a pair of cropped jeans and a fashion top and has their own lead for the puppy. The best thing about this cute collection is the introduction of new Bratz gal Charli, she is yet another beautiful character and will hopefully be a member of the Bratz Pack for quite some time. The new Bratz Pampered Pupz would be a great Christmas gift and as soon as we find an online shop who sells them we’ll post it on here!

Buy at Amazon for $19.99
