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! 

Unboxed: Num Noms Series 4

This video review is a particular favorite of mine. Mostly because Matthew from NerdNewsToday had never really been initiated into the world of Num Noms, and I think they're adorable. I kind of wish they had been around when I was growing up, because I loved toy makeup products, and I would have collected all of these.

Unboxed: Awesome Little Green Men Series 1

Awesome Little Green Men. The name alone is intriguing. Why are they so awesome? It pulls you in. But I first heard of these and thought they were creative, but it wasn't my cup of toy tea. My nephew changed my opinion. He received several for his birthday and not only were these cooler than I had realized, but he got one of the super rares. It was pretty darn awesome. 

Matthew at NerdNewsToday knew nothing about them, so getting a chance to unbox and review them with him was fun. Especially when he found out that not only are these cool figures, but they're also a game. We haven't had a chance to play it yet. That's a video for another day, but watch on as we have fun with Major Boo-Boo, Captain Obvious, and more.
