Why are TV and Film toys the most popular for Christmas 2009
Over the last 25 years the most popular Christmas toys in the country have slowly changed from basic vehicles to complex robots as technology has increased. This year, it is expected that robots will once again top the list of the most popular Christmas toys with Slyvanian Families and Transformers become highly sought after by many parents.
Also expected to draw the eye of many children and their desperate parents are the robot toys of Bakugan Battle Area, Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber, and for the girls the Peppa Pigs’ Princess Palace.
Throughout the last 25 years the trend of technological gifts has predominated the way people buy their Christmas presents for children with Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bob the Builder, and Power Rangers all in high demand. It may be worth noting that each of these toy’s buying patterns were also a result of excellent TV viewing figures or the big box office of films such as the latest Transformers movie.
The trend of television influencing what children want has increased in the last several years with Nintendo Wii and the High School Musical Dance Mat making the shortlist of the most popular Christmas toys of 2008.
Outside of television and gaming, technical pets also rose to the top of the Christmas shoppers list with items such as the Teksta Robotic Dogs and GoGO Hamsters enjoying big popularity in the homes of many young Christmas celebrators as well. Of course, it is also hard to forget the huge Nano and Tamagotchi craze of the nineties.
So what will it be this year for trendy parents and their children? Chances are good that this Christmas old school toys with a technical twist will still be the most sought after, with Transformers and Lego School Kids topping the most wanted lists.
