A £10 dinosaur bath toy is set to be one of the most-wanted Christmas toys this year.
With Yuletide now just 95 days away, Argos has unveiled 15 toys it expects to be on children’s lists this year, including classics such as Barbie, Hot Wheels, and LEGO.
But with many consumers planning a budget Christmas this year, the Chad Valley Dinosaur Waterfall Bath Toy is expected to be highly popular among shoppers.
Other lower budget offerings such as the Paw Patrol Big Truck Pups, 12” plush Squishmallow, and the NERF Elite 2.0 Ranger PD-5 Blaster, which all cost just £18, are also likely to appeal.
Fay Williams, head of toy buying at Argos, said: ‘This year’s top toy list is a great mixture of classic and much-loved toys such as LEGO as well as newer brands like Squishmallows which have quickly become wish-list staples.
‘It’s clear digital entertainment and some of the biggest and most loved film and TV franchises continue to have a massive influence on the most in-demand toys.
‘It’s great to see classic franchises like Harry Potter, Transformers and Pokémon continue to prove popular amongst children in 2022, alongside the newer ones with cult followings such as Bluey and Paw Patrol.’
This year’s list also sees much-loved Harry Potter and Transformers continue to influence the most popular toys.
It includes the Harry Potter Ministry of Magic LEGO set and the LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime figure.
Those waiting for the hotly anticipated Barbie film release next year can enjoy the Barbie Cutie Reveal Snowflake Sparkle Husky.
At the higher end of the price scale, Dreamworks’ Gabby’s Purrfect Dollhouse clocks in at £89.
And the most expensive item is the Lego Technic McLaren Formula 1 Race Car Model Set, retailing at £170.
Fay added: ‘With the cost of living on customers’ minds, we wanted to make sure that over half of our top toys were under £50, so parents can still make this time of year special without spending beyond their means.’
