Needless to say Elmo without fur is not something you'd leave in the kid's room with the lights off.

This is the one toy that every parent is spending extra time on hold with Santa's workshop to request for their children.

I found something on Facebook today that literally turned my stomach. It's a hyper-realistic, silicon baby doll. What do you think?

100 Years of Toys

Did you have one of these as a kid?

Everything old is new again. I’m kinda surprised that the Furby is a hot toy this year. I was too old for it when it first came out, but I remember the madness (like seeing a dude selling one on a corner near the mall in town).

New members to the Toy Hall of Fame will be named in the next few weeks. I was surprised to find some of these still waiting to get in.

So Robert pulled the trigger and will be buying that vintage baseball glove he had as a child. It brought me back to one of my favorite childhood memories.

Andre Cassagnes, the man responsible for inventing the venerable Etch A Sketch, a toy that inspired countless children ever since it was introduced in 1960, has died at age 86 in France.

Ever since it was introduced in 1963, the Easy-Bake Oven has been marketed exclusively to girls, leaving aspiring boy chefs out in the cold. But that's about to change thanks to a campaign led by a teen girl on behalf of her four-year-old brother, who loves to cook.

Thirteen year-old McKenna Pope is fighting mad at Hasbro, and this little activist wants some positive changes now. The eighth grader, who hails from Garfield, New Jersey, has started a petition on Change.org asking Hasbro to make their Easy Bake Ovens more gender-neutral.

You can always spot a parent around the holiday season. Their hair is a frazzled mesh of cow licks and stray strands as if it’s been pulled by a crowd of frantic people. Their eyes dart around in all directions desperately seeking something that could suddenly appear at a moment’s notice. They break down and cry during commercials that advertise “the hottest toy of the holiday season.”
