Noisy Toys Set to Be Holiday Best Sellers
LONDON (AP) -- Parents beware! It's going to be a noisy Christmas.
From a voice-modifying Darth Vader mask to stuffed animals that sing mobile phone ringtones, toys unveiled on Wednesday at a London exhibition for the 2005 British holiday season will test the decibel tolerance of most grown-ups.The event has also been a good indicator of what will be hot for the U.S. market for the holidays. The must-have toy of the season this year promises to be Roboraptor, a two-foot long electronic dinosaur with personality. Roboraptor, made by toy company Character Options, is the follow up to last year's British best seller Robosapien. Roboraptor moves on its own, reacting to visual sensors according to one of five modes: hunting, docile, angry, cautious and playful. Put a finger in its mouth while it's in angry mode and Roboraptor will chew on it. Stroke its face while in docile mode and it nuzzles up to you.
At 90 pounds ($159), Roboraptor is the most expensive item in the top 12 toys on sale.
