[ad_1] The biggest hype at this year’s show was over Baby Yoda, who was everywhere… mostly because there hasn’t been a lot of merch until now. That’s because Disney kept The Child’s existence a closely-guarded secret before The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ back in November. Now we have Baby Yoda figures, dolls and costumes. But […]

Polly Pocket meets Tamagotchi in this portable LCD home
[ad_1] The 1.3-inch screen is a window into the life of your Pixel Star, who will play, eat and sleep in her tiny designer home. You can interact with her using the four buttons below the screen, including all sorts of mini games. And if you’re starting to think this sounds a lot like Tamagotchi, […]
KidKraft’s Alexa-powered toy kitchen sizzles and tells dad jokes
[ad_1] It doesn’t have Alexa built-in directly; instead the smarts come from an Echo speaker you add yourself. That might seem like a bit of a cheat but let’s be honest: It keeps the price down, especially since Amazon seems to be having sales on Echo Dots every other week. Or you might even have […]
Spin Master’s new NinjaBots are cute little killers
[ad_1] Unlike the Foot Clan, NinjaBots aren’t human shaped; they’re more like little red, blue or black stubby bottles on wheels… with nunchucks. But the NinjaBots are packed with plenty of human emotions. They’ll make wisecracks, smack talk their opponents and do a little victory dance when they’ve triumphed. So really not like real ninjas, […]

Each figurine is very cute on its own, but holding it up against an NFC-enabled device will unlock special abilities within Minecraft Earth for a certain amount […]
Hot Wheels brings its NFC-enabled stat-tracker to even more toys this year
[ad_1] First up, the core ID setup gets a bit of a rethink. The Smart Track set, with its sturdy USB-connected pieces, was a pretty cool piece of tech. (We even included it in our holiday gift guide.) But at $180, it was probably too pricey for a lot of parents. This year there’s a […]
The Hot Wheels RC Cybertruck is a mini Tesla for $400
[ad_1] The Hot Wheels Cybertruck R/C has all the details you would expect for a toy that costs a few hundred dollars, including rows of front and rear lights and the distinctive rear cover with a telescoping tailgate. Sadly, unlike the original, it’s not automatically activated — you’ll have to pull it out by hand. […]
Hasbro’s flurry of ‘The Mandalorian’ toys includes an animatronic Baby Yoda
[ad_1] There are a few additional Star Wars toys. You can pick up the Darksaber from The Mandalorian (complete with sound effects) for $30, while fans of The Clone Wars can snag $10 action figures for the Jedi Ahsoka Tano and her Clone Trooper. The lineup is expected to arrive sometime in the spring. That’s […]
