Top Toy Predictions for Christmas 2017

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Yes, we’re about to talk about Christmas, and yes ‘at this time of the year’ – but hear us out. Christmas is a mere 16 weeks away and if you work in the toy or turkey industry that is SOON! I would be lying if I said Christmas wasn’t always somewhere in the Entropy Elves minds but now it has pushed to the forefront.

In the last nine months over 700 new products have made their way to Entropy. We understand that these (along with our existing 4000+ toys) make it hard to decide what to put under the tree. To make things a bit easier Chief Poobah has predicted the top ten new toys for this Christmas.

While our top ten picks for this Christmas are all new to the Australian market they are here to stay. These ten toys introduce new and innovative characteristics while echoing key traditional features that are seen in the majority of our all-time-favourite classic toys. This mix of old and new will ensure that each of these toys is cherished for Christmases to come and not forgotten by the time Christmas pudding is served.
