According to Reuters' Barbie rules girls' wish-lists but boys go high-tech

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Barbie has held onto her crown as queen of girls' holiday wish lists for the fifth year but boys are going more high-tech, according to a poll of must-have toys.

The poll of 7,982 U.S. consumers by the company BIGresearch showed Barbie remained the most sought after toy for girls, with the rival Bratz dolls in second place, generic dolls in third place followed by Dora the Explorer and Disney Princess.

But for boys there was a bit of a shake-up in the annual list with last year's favorite, TMX Elmo, losing out to Transformers, the autobots made popular by the movie of the same name.

Transformers are now making a big hit and even that Christmas is coming, toy shelves of all toy store in Manila are now beginning to restock. Just like yesterday, Tons of Barricade and Bumble Bee pop outs last Wednesday and fans went to their nearest toy store just to grab some and complete their collection. I really believe that the Transformers toy will be the number 1 top wish list for boys and adults, One from the local toy store attendant said "Mommies are now looking and asking for Transformers toys for their kids, and now they ask where to find more of the Leader Class and Voyager class toys."

Transfomers toys attract boys because of its hi-tech design and it is one of the most treasured toy of all time. As an adult during I write these, Transformers are still one of my child hood wish list and now I fully understand today why these transforming vehicles to robots are one best seller and make kids go hyper everytime they see a robot.

Having 2 toys for a price of one is a great deal for parents. And kids can play the toy either in robot form or in their vehicle alternate mode. But these toys are not suitable for a very young age like 6 yrs old below, because projectile weapons are harmful to them, but for a responsible buyer and a parent, it will be better to take out the projectile and keep it away from them. Even me I used to remove the projectile weapons and keep it in my box, because sometimes people like to play my toys and unaware of the projectile thing popping out from their weapons.

"Christmas for me is early, just bought lots of new Transformers toys and other toy lines." Mark Cerbo, Transformers Philippines founder told me that last night.

JOLLIBEE/TRANSFORMERS CAMPAIGN: A PHENOMENAL HIT!

// check out the letter sent to us by our friend from

our local carrier for the TransFormers property here in the Philippines. congratulations to all Pinoys and to all who bought the Kiddie Meal of Jollibee, this will be a great result for future toy release in our local fast food, mind you this is exclusive here in the Philippines. Hope they make more of it in the coming months.. Rock and Roll Out !!!! //

Hello everyone! Just want to share this great news with you.

The ground-breaking promotional success of the Transformers Cybertron Robot Blasters of Jollibee have proven to be the most reliable touchstone that reaffirmed the undeniable mass appeal of the classic robot characters in the local market. For the initial week of it’s four-week long promo period, Jollibee reportedly ran out of Transformers premium items leaving their millions of customers asking for more. The promo precursor of Jollibee further validated the better than expected growth to be posted by the merchandising industry should the local manufacturing and promotions players take advantage of this great licensing wave.

Transfomers is indeed one of the hottest if not the hottest properties of the season predicted to break merchandising and promotional figures posted in recent history.


Cheers to all!

Toyfare talks with Hasbro and 1st look to Optimus Prime toy

Thanks to 'Heer0San' for sharing this to our forum, it seems that July 4th is not just a big holiday in the USA, but also a day were aliens will invade the Earth, hmm very familiar with that, remember the movie Independence day, were aliens attacked the Earth but still humans defend theirselves against the hostility of the aliens, but this year's July 4th is a different case, Humans can no longer defend themselves against aliens attackers, we are glad that there are some good guys in them who will protect and save us.

aww geez ...thats so sweet.

If you still dont know, July 4th is the big invasion of robots - TransFormers.
oh yeah

also, June 2 will be another invasion of robot toys in toy stores and I know some of you are saving lots of moolah for these toys.

We haven't seen Optimus Prime with a trailer, in toy mode, leak pic mode, design mode.
my prediction for this movie, Prime's trailer maybe a form of a another Transformer.
hehheh...big bet eh? ok as the guy from Hasbro said, Lets wait for July 4 and see the movie.





[NYTF PREVIEW] PRIME CUTS
‘ToyFare’ talks Transformers with Hasbro and gives you the first look at the movie Optimus Prime toy!

July 4, 2007. A day that will always be remembered. Not as the 231st anniversary of the day the U.S. gained its independence, though—it will be remembered because that’s the day the robots came.

The live-action Transformers movie is highly anticipated by fans of the 1980s cartoon, fans of Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg’s films, conspiracy theorists and auto mechanics everywhere, but the hardest of the hardcore are the Transformers toy collectors. Not only does this film represent the culmination of a lifetime of fandom (and a significant monetary investment), it represents the opportunity to get even more awesome Transformers collectibles—in this case, some of the most detailed and unique Transformers ever.

Dying to know what’s coming out from Hasbro for the film, we talked to Director of Marketing Greg Lombardo to find out what went in to creating the movie toy line…and what came out.
ToyFare: What was the process like in designing the Transformers movie toys? Did you work closely with the movie studio?

Greg Lombardo: Hasbro, Paramount and Michael Bay all had the same goal: create a true Transformers movie. What would it really look like if actual cars really turned into giant robots? They wouldn’t be blocky like Generation 1 Transformers…they would be more alien. Our design team, led by Aaron Archer, worked in Los Angeles for two months late in 2005 and early 2006 in an effort to match the movie concept with the rich heritage of the brand. The guys in the studio’s art department are some of the top guys in the business, so yes, there was a very collaborative exchange throughout the entire design process.
