A web-slinging toy by Hasbro Inc. and a racing timer featuring a digital LCD screen by Mattel Inc. should be two of the hottest selling toys this summer, according to the Spring 2007 Hot Dozen list by Toy Wishes Magazine.
Hasbro’s Deluxe Spinning Web Blaster lets children sling silly-string webs with a flick of the wrist just like Spiderman. The device looks like it was cut from Spiderman’s costume and straps onto the wrist.
Mattel’s Hot Wheels Racing Timer is meant to time foot or bike races and applauds competitors when they cross the finish line. The racers hear an announcer declare the winner while a digital LCD screen displays the time and speed for two racers.
Mattel’s Rainbow Adventure Elina Doll and DVD game, which are part of the company’s plan to revitalize its sagging Barbie line also made the list. The doll functions as an interactive controller for the game.
The most expensive item to make the list is the $399.99 Banzai Double Drop Raceway by ToyQuest, an inflatable backyard waterslide featuring a waterfall.
