Food plush in baskets, a light-up mask for Halloween weekend and two new holiday sets lead this week's movers on Amazon's Toys & Games charts. Ranks, prices and ratings below were checked on Amazon on the morning of Oct. 28, 2026. Ranks change hourly.
1. Emotional Support Chicken Nuggets (Relatable)
A basket of five removable plush chicken nuggets. It was No. 34 in all of Toys & Games and No. 1 in Plush Figure Toys on Oct. 28, with a 4.8-star average from 8,823 ratings and a "10K+ bought in past month" note. Price: $16.97. Manufacturer's age: 24 months and up. See it on Amazon.
Pros: Gift-ready basket; works as a funny gift for teens and adults as well as kids; 4.8 stars from thousands of ratings
Cons: Five small plush pieces are easy to lose; a novelty gift more than a play set
2. Emotional Support Highland Cows (Relatable)
The fall version of the same idea: one cozy container and five plush highland cows. It was $9.00 on Oct. 28 (marked 18% off), No. 18 in Plush Figure Toys, with 4.8 stars from 1,847 ratings and a "3K+ bought in past month" note. The page lists the manufacturer's age as 0 months and up. See it on Amazon.
Pros: Cheapest pick here at $9.00; five characters in one gift
Cons: Small plush with no specific baby-safety claims, so treat the "0 months" field with care for babies; sale price may not last
3. LED Light-Up Mask with Gesture Sensing (Mr.Pang)
With Halloween on Saturday, this rechargeable LED mask was No. 8 in all of Toys & Games and No. 1 in Kids' Costume Masks on Oct. 28, with 4.6 stars from 1,835 ratings and a "20K+ bought in past month" note. The seller lists 50 light patterns (25 graphics and 25 animations), a wave-your-hand gesture mode plus buttons, and 8 to 10 hours per charge. Price: $28.79. Manufacturer's age: 36 months to 17 years; the page carries a small-parts choking warning for kids under 3. See it on Amazon.
Pros: Rechargeable, no batteries to buy; works as a costume on its own; one of the best-selling items in all of Toys & Games this week
Cons: Lesser-known seller brand; battery-life figures are the seller's own; check delivery dates if it's meant for Halloween
4. MAGNA-TILES microMAGS 24-Piece Spooky Travel Set
A pocket-size Halloween set of 24 microMAGS tiles, including pumpkin- and ghost-decorated squares and black triangle "roof" tiles for a mini haunted house. It was No. 56 on Amazon's Toys & Games Best Sellers list on Oct. 28 at $13.99. Ages 3 and up. See it on Amazon.
Pros: Under $14 from an established magnetic-tile brand; travel size for car rides and restaurants
Cons: Seasonal colors and decorations; 24 tiles is a small build compared with full-size sets
5. Barbie in the Nutcracker Clara Doll (Mattel)
Lift her arms and twirl her, and a rainbow sweets pattern shows up on her tutu. The doll poses seven ways and comes with a bow headband, a heart locket and a gift box. It was No. 18 on Amazon's Toys & Games New Releases list and No. 6 in Dolls on Oct. 28, with 4.4 stars from 64 ratings and an "8K+ bought in past month" note. Price: $27.99. Ages 3 and up; the page carries a small-parts choking warning. See it on Amazon.
Pros: A Nutcracker-season gift for young ballet fans; the tutu color change gives it a play feature beyond dress-up
Cons: Only 64 ratings so far; small accessories
6. LEGO Minecraft Chicken Jockey 21582
Three big brick-built Minecraft figures, a baby zombie with jointed head, arms and legs, a chicken with movable wings and legs, and a baby chicken, with the zombie riding the chicken as the game's famous chicken jockey. It has 344 pieces. It was No. 20 on Amazon's Toys & Games New Releases list on Oct. 28 at $29.99, with 4.9 stars from 130 ratings and a "10K+ bought in past month" note. Manufacturer's age: 9 years and up. See it on Amazon.
Pros: Play-and-display build gamers will recognize; 4.9-star average
Cons: 9+ age grade, so younger Minecraft fans may need help; only three characters for $29.99
7. FAO Schwarz 22-Inch Adopt-A-Pets Capybara
This capybara, Asuka, comes with an adoption certificate kids fill in with their name and the pet's details. The listing calls it a 20-inch capybara (22 inches in the product name). It was No. 26 on Amazon's Toys & Games New Releases list and No. 7 in Stuffed Animals & Teddy Bears on Oct. 28, with 4.6 stars from 278 ratings. Price: $29.99. Ages 3 and up. See it on Amazon.
Pros: Big, huggable size; the adoption certificate makes the unboxing feel like a gift
Cons: Two different sizes on one listing (20 and 22 inches); Amazon's page and its product data disagreed on stock during our check, so look at the buy box before counting on it
