No hot toy this Christmas but plenty to choose from
United Press International notes a crowded toy market ahead of Christmas with no single must have item. Angele Bourdon of Toys R Us cites strong movement in several items such as Milton Bradley Win Lose or Draw, Fisher Price Pocket Rockers, Micro Machines, Night Striker Hovercraft, Starting Lineup, Pee Wee Herman doll, Barbie and the Sensations, Nintendo Action Set, Roger Rabbit Talking Playskool, Aero Turbo, and Socrates video learning set. Teddy Ruxpin and Cabbage Patch dolls remain steady sellers, with demand high for basic and talking versions across price ranges.
