TDmonthly Specialty Toys Report: FINALISTSThey Sell, They Play, They're Great for SpecialtyTDmonthly Magazine's staff has had a tough couple of weeks, testing everything from one-eyed "gags" to ride-on toys, trying to whittle down our Top Toy award nominees to the finalists' list. Many sore-throated arguments later, we've chosen those who will go on to compete for the Top Toy awards, announced in mid-October.At the end of October, we will publish the 2007 TDmonthly Specialty Toys Report, which will include all of the nominees, finalists and winners. The report will be offered to the general public, retailers and the press to help consumers make informed buying decisions for the holidays and to introduce them to companies and products they will not find in mass-market outlets. TDmonthly awards will include: TDmonthly Top Toy 2007 (20 only) TDmonthly Top Seller 2007 (20 or fewer) TDmonthly Innovations 2007 (10 or fewer) TDmonthly Classic (10 or fewer) Winners will be able to publicize their awards with an official TDmonthly logo. FINALISTS LIST:
Catalog Request Form Read what more than 400 retailers have told TDmonthly about toys since 2005 in Toy-Store Owners Talk to TDmonthly.
by Bob Breneman on October 4, 2007 Bananagrams- This has instantly become our best selling game. We sold approx. 200 games in Aug. & Sept. Great price. Scrabble without the waiting for a turn. Word Chase!- from Beyond Learning is a great game for letter recognition, emerging readers and for light strategy. Wonderful graphics and lots of repeat play value. Plasmacar- It's sleek design invites kids to jump on and start driving. Good exercise to boot. Young children can also use it with their feet on the floor. Quadrilla- The display REALLY helps this product move. I didn't think anything could surpass the train table for ''Most Played With Toy'' in our store but Quadrilla has. Intrigues all ages. Bigger sets seem to be more popular than the basic. by Concerned Specialty Store Owner on October 5, 2007 We have found the Ultra Stomp Rocket to have some issues with the ***e kinking making it difficult, and at times impossible, to send air through the ***e to launch the rocket. We no longer offer this product because of this issue. by BarbSteinberg dba DollCloset.com on October 5, 2007 Playful Life products are great! Corolle baby dolls are outstanding. Fairytale Fashions seem very high priced for most people. by Christine Osborne on October 6, 2007 We have had TREMENDOUS success with PLASMA CARS & RUCKUS. To help you all out, many of the products like Playmobil' arena and ezyroller have barely made it into the country, much less onto many stores shelves. You may want to screen those out, as WE love them, but have yet to get a pulse from customers. If you encounter any problems with this feature, please
