It is that time of year again when the Dream Toys list has been released for Christmas and I have to say that there were a few surprises on the list this year.
The 12 toys that made it into the Dream Toys Top 12 are as follows
Enchantimals Playhouse Panda Set – Mattel
Fingerlings – WowWee
FurReal Roarin’ Tyler – Hasbro
Hatchimals Surprise – Spin Master Toys
Lazer X 2 player pack – Character Options
L.O.L. Surprise Series 2 – MGA Entertainment
Nerf Nitro Longshot Smash – Hasbro
PAW Patrol Sea Patroller – Spin Master Toys
PJ Masks Headquarters Playset – Character Options
Star Wars BB-8 – Lego
The Original Stretch Armstrong – Character Options
Toilet Trouble – Hasbro
The main surprises for me were the inclusion of Toilet Trouble by Hasbro which we enjoyed but I don’t think it is the best game of its kind that has been released this year. I was also surprised by The Original Stretch Armstrong which again is a good toy but I wouldn’t even place it in the top 50 let alone the top 12. Laser X is actually on Alison’s Christmas list already and she is a pretty good judge of toys so I am interested to see that one in action and we have yet to come across Enchantimals so I am interested to see those.
Now I am definitely of the opinion that a list that short can definitely not cater for everyone so along with my gift guides which have been published over the last week you can find my list of the Top 50 toys that I have seen in action this year. We have been lucky enough to have reviewed a lot of these so do click on the links if you want to find out more about those toys and for those I have not review on my blog or on YouTube I have personally seen them in action and can honestly say that I think they are great. So what are my top 50 toys for 2017? Check out the list below

Some of the games available this year look great, I’n a bit spoilt for choice!
Wow the Top 12 seems a little underwhelming, thankfully Alexa is only desperate for the FurReal Tyler out of the list.
Your Top 50 list is a different story though pretty much covers anything my two have expressed interest in 🙂
