With three types of cups to choose from, including gorilla-themed Gorillanator, zombie-styled Let It R.I.P. or Luchador-decorated El Campeon, kids will soon ricochet from standard tricks to creating their own miraculous maneuvers. 3 “AAA” batteries required (not included).

Kids can relive the climax of “Toy Story 3″ with this Toys R Us exclusive playset that recreates the Tri-County Landfill movie scene where everyone’s favorite toys were almost incinerated! Just like in the movie, the toys can be picked up in a giant scoop and then dropped into a sorter before landing on a conveyor belt that leads to an incinerator. Featuring two-inch scale versions of Buzz Lightyear, Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear and three Aliens, kids can plan a great escape using the “claw” or anything else that sparks their imagination. No batteries required. Ages 3 to 6 years.

Additionally, creativity and life skills, like music, health and problem solving are enhanced while using the system. Children can also go online with LeapWorld, a virtual space where they can find even more games and activities and where they can obtain virtual items, such as treats and shampoo for their onboard pet before uploading them to this on-the-go system. Parents can also check in on their child’s progress with the LeapFrog Learning Path, so they can see how their little learner is playing and exploring, as well as how to help them succeed. 4 “AA” batteries required (not included). Ages 4 to 9 years.

Loopz from Mattel

Combining movement and music, this memory game really gets kids and families moving as players interact with four semi-circular rings. Lights flash and music plays with increasing speed as players mimic movements to match lights and sounds by waving their hands through the corresponding loops, while motion sensors in each ring read the action to ensure sequences are repeated correctly. The longer players keep up with correct motions, the faster the action, but if players miss the beat three times, they’re out! An internal counter measures each player’s speed and level, while rating their overall performance. Loopz includes seven different games that can be played solo or as a friendly competition for up to 4 players. 4 “AA” batteries required (not included). Ages 7 years and up.

Minotaurus from Lego Systems, Inc.

Players are challenged to navigate the labyrinth in an effort to be the first to reach a hidden temple in this board game constructed entirely out of LEGO bricks. But, they must beware as a mighty Minotaur is waiting to block their path! To make navigating the tricky maze even more challenging, players can drop walls to prevent others from following them. Featuring 211 LEGO bricks and 12 microfigures, two to four players can lose themselves in this amazing adventure. No batteries required. Ages 7 years and up.

Monster High Cleo DeNile and Deuce Gorgon doll set from Mattel

The teenage children of legendary monster menaces are now attending high school together at Monster High!

Squinkies Cupcake Surprise! Bake Shop from Blip toys

Kids can take home the excitement of a coin-operated vending machine, filled with their favorite squishy, pencil-topping toys – Squinkies! By removing the cherry from the top of this oversized cupcake playset, children can begin to fill the dispenser with any of the nine included Squinkies individually packaged in a plastic bubble, or by choosing from the hundreds of Squinkies that are sold separately. When a Squinkies coin or standard penny or dime is inserted into the machine and the dial is turned, out will come a Squinkies surprise! The dispenser also doubles as a sweet shop playset when opened up. Inside, Squinkies characters can play the part as bakers, customers or even treats. No batteries required. Ages 3 years and up.

Tomica Hypercity Mega Station Set from Tomy

Kids can ride the rails around Hypercity with this fully automated, Toys R Us exclusive train set that mimics the action of a bustling station. Just like in real life, as the train pulls into the terminal, cars yield at the railroad crossing to wait as the train automatically stops, allowing passengers to hop on and off. Once the train resumes its travels, traffic automatically begins to move again. Children can even switch the station into manual mode to control the action on their own. To bring the station to life, kids can outfit their city with the paved roads, trees, parking spaces and lampposts as well as a convenience store, complete with a Tomikid figure to work the counter. 4 “C” batteries required.
