TOTY Finalists Announced and you can WIN too!

The Toy Association announced yesterday the nominees for the TOTYs, aka Toy of the Year Awards.  Think Oscars for toys.  One winner in each category, as well as the coveted "Toy of the Year" award winner and the "People's Choice" winner (based solely on consumer votes), will be announced at the TOTY Awards gala to be held on Friday, February 15, 2019 at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. 

Between now and January 6, you can visit www.ToyAwards.org to vote for your top choice in 17 categories.  If you vote for a category, then you get entered to win EVERY TOY IN THAT CATEGORY!  So yeah, this is definitely something you should do.  And even if you don't win, this is a holiday shopping list of the best, hottest toys to please any kid or well, me. 

Congrats to all the nominees! 

Toy Review: Voltron: Legendary Defenders "Keith & Cannon Fire Voltron" Figures

"From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend; the legend of Voltron, Defender of the Universe..."

That's right! Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I got our hands on a few Voltron figures used off of the new show on Netflix. This review was to help me get through the long wait for new episodes.

Toy Review: Playmates Ben 10 "Four Arms" Action Figure

Hi-dy ho! It's time for another Playmates Ben 10 toy review. This time Matthew from NerdNewsToday and I are having fun with Four Arms. Powerful and not one to be messed with but also give great hugs, Four Arms is mostly fire and laser proof, can create shockwaves with his arms and has the ability to jump several stories in a single bound, but how does he translate to figure form?

Toy Review: Playmates Ben 10 "XLR8" Action Figure

I need to be honest with you. I wanted to review this Ben 10 action figure from Playmates strictly because of its accessories. I wanted the cones. Matthew at NerdNewsToday and I do more thoroughly review the XLR8 figure, but for me, it was really all about the racing accessories. Watch on!

Toy Review: Playmates Ben 10 "Cannonbolt" Action Figure

This time around Matthew from NerdNewsToday and I are diving  into the world of Ben 10.

If you're not that familiar with Ben 10, it's the story of a 10 year old boy, Ben Tennyson (see what they did there?), who discovers a magical device that allows him to turn into ten different types of aliens. With the help of his family, he fights evil as those aliens.

Currently playing on the Cartoon Network, Ben 10 has been around for over a decade. This is the most recent version. Brought to us by Playmates, today, Matthew and I are going to take a look at Cannonbolt.
